THE BOTTOM LINE ( " MY LOVE IS ALIVE " by Gary Wright ... complete song )

[Metaphysicalvoyager]

I've been thinkin about getting one of these, but was just wondering how the low b string sounds/responds?

[LifesonFan4Life]

@Metaphysicalvoyager ... Carvin's have 'thunderous' B strings ... not my words .. Ed Friedland's words .. but I can attest to this fact as well !

[RonnyOnBass]

Do you really like your BBE BMax? I've been thinking about trying one... but no one around me carries them. So I would have to order blind. I play rock to r&b to motown.

[pbmax]

Beginning of this song is epic - awesome job. God I smoked a lot of dope to this song in 76.

[LifesonFan4Life]

@pbmax ... I think we all did .. lol ... thanks for the compliment :)

[redriderrulz]

Awesome job! Fretless sounds spot on, which was exactly what that Moog synth was trying to replicate at the time of this recording. I love it! P.S- (Oceans)That guy, or KID I am assuming is on crack!

[LifesonFan4Life]

@redriderrulz ... Hey thanks for the great compliment :)

[oceans20113]

Get a life brother .... I love Gary Wright ...but you are reaching for a star you can't get to ..... PEACE

[LifesonFan4Life]

@oceans20113 I love Gary Wright too .. whatever your referring to by your comment your entitled too ... I haven't played bass since my teens .. just bought my Carvin basses and started playing again ... so if your criticizing my playing fine .. I don't think I did that bad of a job .. even though the bass was originally done on a Moog synthesizer i thought it would be fun to learn it on a fretless bass . Criticize away .. peace

[JaybaTheHutt]

@LifesonFan4Life Dude, you did a fine job. (from a bass player of 40 years). That other guy's on crack.

[LifesonFan4Life]

@JaybaTheHutt Thanks Jayba :)

[Robbyjean]

This KICKS ASS!!!!!

[jcmclovin77388]

Dude, I heard this song on the radio a few days ago and had to dig in to see what's on YT...Glad I found this, awesome sound and licks.

[mkcoliver]

Congrat's..  Great feel and tone my man!!!!

[LifesonFan4Life]

The original track had a moog synth playing the bass line ... I think the fretless does a decent job of capturing that sound which was part of the reason for me getting one ... a lot of those songs that used the moog are fun to play on an actual bass

[SCNAVHDA]

@LifesonFan4Life that bass you are playing sure does not look like a fretless which means I might be able to play one. I want that sound! I play an Ibanez Soundgear 5 SR505 cool but the that B string on yours sure stands out. And play and sound GREAT!

[vineyardedge]

One of my favorite GW songs! Love your bass playing on this! :)

[todds7]

Ah, that song takes me back. Good times!

Hey, you nailed it. Great job!
