Me, playing the classic song from Sade, with the fantastic bassline (which was chosen the sexiest bassline by women in 2008 :))). Again, no tabs, I did it by ear. I used my usual bass, the Marcus Miller bass (sounds like it needs new strings, but still great bridge pickup sound :-), and my Korg PX4D. Anyway I changed the rythm at a very few places, according to the song's dynamics.
Comments welcomed! :)

Great tone! Can I ask you how you installed that chrome pickup cover though? I'm planning on installing one on my bass, but I have no idea how. Well know I'm supposed to drill holes, but I'm worried I'll hit wirings or something important.

thanks a lot
this has really helped me a hell of a lot in trying to learn the bass on this song -especially for the "coast to coast.." bit which is so hard to hear on the original song.
dig your style and you've added your own touch to this which is always cool too
thanks again

@laatideon I'm happy to help you. :) Unfortunately I never make tabs - that would really help a lot to those who want to learn these songs, but if you need further help, I can send you the mp3 file which is mixed to this video, it has better quality. Anyway, thanks for the nice comment, and have fun playing your bass! :)
