Watched the three part series over the last couple of days
Interesting insight into the instrument and players.
Found episode 2 a bit "slow" but 1 & 3 were very informative.

Wish I'd seen that - there's some interesting stuff on Sky Arts sometimes but no way of doing a 'catch-up' on Freeview. It may come around again, I suppose.

Hope it included Entwhistle's fantastic arpeggios on 'Pinball Wizard'.

Bruce Thomas cover, this track was what got me fascinated with the bass way back in 1978. Bruce is a bass legend IMO

That little pedalled bass riff at the start is one of my two favourite noises, the other being the V8 in the F355

Nobody has mentioned Wilton Felder’s bass on the Jackson 5’s I Want You Back.

So I will.
