As there are several, a few with glaring errors, this is one of best sounding bass lines for The Doors iconic "Light My Fire". Well played with clear bass sound. Years ago, i found a transcription of the song, copyrighted 1967 by the Doors Music Company. At the first measure of the verses, 2nd beat, the bass notation uses a G natural (4th space of the bass cleft) instead of the A natural octave. Same interval spacing for the 2nd measure, 2nd beat, E natural (3rd space of bass cleff) instead of the F# octave. In both instances, these two different notes are used repeatedly throughout the songs verses. As to why, my hunch has to do with the notes in the Am7 and F#M7 chords. The former chord uses a G natural, the later uses a E natural. Maybe Ray Manzurek wanted to emphazise the 7th in those two chords, not the chord's root. It does give the song verses a bit of a different feel. That said, using the A natural octave and the F# octave is equally effective. As for the two original recordings, i cannot tell what version the bass player is using.
Well done! Thanks for posting this.

wow, da musste ich erst mal 0,75 Geschwindigkeit einstellen um das Ding rumzukriegen.
Haven't listen to this song in years but I thought the Doors didn't have a bass player & Ray Manzarek played the bass part on pedals.
Ray did play it live but it's an electric bass on the studio version. Larry Knechtel played it.
Ray didn't kick sticks, he used a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass. ua-cam.com/video/vBF8OIrz-88/v-deo.html
I found out recently that Ray didn't use bass pedals, he played the bass lines for live gigs with his left hand on a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass!
А можно по русски? Бас просто Класс!!!!
