    for as fun and quirky and catchy as their music is,.... the level of sophistication in arrangement, time signatures and bass lines is at another level, very talented guys..... great job in the recreation of the part.......

    That sounds more complex and challenging than any funk bassline I've heard. I'm going to love and hate learning XTC's songs. You play this like you own it.

      For sure! I dig this bassline a lot but, I'm just beginning and seeing how complex shows that it's wayyy out of my league for now. Always amazed at musician's arrangements.

    I can play the verse riff for exactly as long as the song needs me to and not a note more - my left hand is usually begging me to stop by the end. You make it look flawless. Love the tone, too.

    I love this bass line; it's perfect to grab my attention! Bought the album back then just because of this ...and also "Pink Thing".

    recently found out that the bass outro line is the backing vocals line, slowed down (Andy Partridge's inteview on Complicated Game book). Insane

      @@ralgex lots of info about XTC songs composing, arranging and recording on that book. Recommended. What you'll surprisingly find out, the bass line is Andy's not Colin's, even tho Colin played it.

    Superb bassline from Brian to mirror Colin's original score. But I've always thought that XTC also needed a less melodic, more rhythmic bassline to augment Colin's inventive 'lead' bassline style, especially on some of the funkier numbers. On some of the tracks, the overall bassline comes across as a bit thin. Does anyone else get what I'm saying?
