I'll tell ya what chickenbreaker, I'm a guy who's a very non-musically talented person, so could never do what you do here, but that's not the main thing.
What you've done is show everyone who even barely knows that song just how absolutely VITAL bass is in this song, and how absolutely a strong bass line can change the entire sound of music. i don't suppose you could mail me the tab, could ya? (please?)
No matter what, you've done yourself (and Graham Maby) proud!
From reading some recent lists on "best rock bassists" I'd begun to think I was the only one who was a Maby-Head... IMHO, Maby is easily one of the greatest rock bassists ever, and what really sets him apart is his ability to play in whatever style Joe Jackson was recording (Jumpin Jive, or some of his later classical works, no matter what Joe threw at Graham Maby, Maby did it and did it with interest!). BTW, really nice job on sticking that solo... very sweet.
Awesome job!!!

Always considered Graham Maby a lead bass, rivaled only by Bruce Foxton of The JAM.
Thanks! Nice Work.
