I wanted to challenge myself and learn another bass player's style so I chose the wonderful Deon Estus and a great Wham! bass line - "If you were there" from the Make it Big album (originally recorded by the Isley Brothers).
He is another highly underrated musician for sure! Learn more about Deon here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deon_Estus
If you get a chance check out "I'm your man" from the Music from the Edge of Heaven album. Deon takes a bad-ass bass solo in it!
Long live George Michael, Deon Estus and Wham!

Wow. Another bass player that sees the genius of WHAM! and proudly so. :-) The Aria tone really works on this track. An interesting cover of a cover.

Brilliant job, both here and in the DD covers!
Your work is a true benchmark from wich to evaluate all other bass works that pop-up around here.
I send you my compliments.

@jemappellejonathan - Wham! basslines rock but they are quite difficult to learn properly!

sounds great !
is that a SB1000 ?

@gobassgo1 Yes it is and I got to get me one someday. They are for sale on ebay but you may have to get one from Japan (originals) or get a reissue locally which will be extremely good also.
