Yes, you read that right, Take On Me by, Norwegian synth-pop band, “a-ha” off their debut album, “Hunting High and Low”, which came out in 1985.
I have to admit, I never hated this song, even when it first came out…and the video was pretty ahead of its time..for the time. I think it’s a great pop song - melodic and catchy.
I can’t remember what prompted me to learn it. I probably heard it on the radio or in a store somewhere and it just caught my ear. I recorded it soon after I got this bass and was pretty happy with the way it came out. This bass has a really nice “crunch“ to it. I don’t tailor my tone (before or after recording the videos) to suit any particular song. What goes into the camera at the time I’m playing is what you’re hearing. I set the volume of my bass by ear and, once and a while, I’ll go back and do another take on a video if I think my bass is too loud or too low, but that’s it. I wish they all came like this one.
Does anyone remember, back in the 80’s, when sequencing and drum machines really began to catch on? There was talk about how “real drummers” would soon be made obsolete by drum machines. That never happened. And, while I never learned this particular song back then, it was not beneath me to learn a sequenced bass-line from time to time. There is something about their stiffness and rigidity that I actually like.
I'm playing the '76 Guild B-301 which is the bass of choice for the majority of Norwegian synth-pop bands.
