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

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • Amazing!!!!Do you have tabs?

  • @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.

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

  • 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 !

  • 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 ..

  • Great job again!

  • You`re THE bass master.

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