ABBA - Mamma Mia - Bassline

[richardCudden]

Amazing!!!!Do you have tabs?

[troupsuper]

the more interesting in "Mamma mia" and "Dance (while the music still goes on) is the electric guitar not the bass , it sounds like heavy metal but was buried in the mix to sound more pop , but if you listen with OPS you will see !

[Sungodv]

So, that is a Hagstrom Super Swede, eh? Never heard of it. Not a big name in the U.S.

I should get one since I'm Swedish in heritage....and a bassist.

Good job, btw.

I think the bass is quite easy ! all what you have to do is playing the bass root note of each chord and never play several notes at the same time I love that ! quite easy ..

[BiteSizeGuitar]

Great job again!

[Filiu1]

You`re THE bass master.

[realjuvelive]

Why not to play several notes at the same time on bass guitar ?

[videovader101]

Those are some snazzy lookin pickups. What kind are they? And what kind of ibanez is that? a roadster?

[bassowman]

It's a Hagstrom Super Swede Bass with Di Marzio PUs.

[GraceRud1]

Well done !! What type bass did Mike Watson use to record this song? I too got hooked on ABBA because of the beautiful bass lines,they move me, and I'm a Hard Rocker/Metalhead !!!!

[bassowman]

Thanks! Don't know, MusicMan Stingray?

[Ju105]

@GraceRud1 lol I was a punk now I find myself playing Bee Gee;s and ABBA Kicking bass on (you should be dancing)

[Domenix71]

@GraceRud1 I guess it's a Fender Precision. It sound so, or a Fender Jazz with the pick up on the neck on and the other (on the bridge) off.

[engadgetier]

I've been trying to get the transitions right, and this helped a lot. I love the bass on this song! :D

[SMCact]

This is the reason i like abba/Mamma Mia music. The Bass!

[kenthearts]

i like the you play all the abba music. great groove....

[TAYGUNOV]

one of the most overlooked basslines in my opinion. love this song and bass.

[MrGLITCHMANN]

Hi again Bassowman,

As a Gunnarsson's fan I have a doubt regarding this one. I'm almost sure it has been played by Mike watson, an english bassist, friend of B & B, who also have played on S.O.S and some others...

Anyway, it's a great bassline and, as alwaws, you did it perfectly !!

Hi MrGlitchmann,

Thanks for the comment! You're absolute right: It is Mike Watson who plays the bass. I still like the bassline a lot:-) I've changed the description.

[marvy1118]

I like ABBA but this song is a bit beneath your ability. There are other ABBA songs that would be more worthy of you.

PS you look Scandinavian so ABBA works for your videos ;-)

[thespermdonor]

Well he is Swedish...

[marvy1118]

D'OH!

[crocotone]

i also enjoy it every time i get a message of new Videos from U. I never was a fan of Abba unless i had a chance to do a little remix with some copies of the original tapes in the 90s... that was wow! Since then i worked with some ABBA revival bands live and in the studio

[bananabrain2]

coolt, gott med hagström

[misterwesstuff]

great job... love the bass too...

[Tarkus7]

Do you play professionally, or just as a hobby? As always, great playing.

[bassowman]

Thanks! Playing is a sideline for me. An important one:-)

[ejacobdor]

Nice playing, as usual.  Nice bass too!!!

[westfield90]

Superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[MrCrowleyJr]

Its really good, the bass sounds lovelly!

Ohhh god! This bass line its really awesome!

And this music make me fly! :)

[Mineiro426]

It's great, but the bass is too low

[hahabass]

What a great sounding instrument, apart from your solid playing. What's the axe and what are you putting it through?

[bassowman]

Thanks! It's a Hagström Super Swede with Thomastik Infeld flatwounds. I run it through a Korg PX4D Pandora.

[TPBass1224]

Great job!! I always enjoy your videos. Cheers from NYC.

[sullyrock]

[res813]

[lancego30]
