If you like to play a steady beat, this is the song to do so! The ‘secret’ of this bassline is playing the rests in the maingroove and ‘answering’ these rest with eight notes on beat 3 and 4 of the following bar. Listen for instance at bars 9-12 and 13-16.
Obviously I like the slide towards the note G on the A-string a lot! Listen for instance at bar 16.
Where John Illsley stays steady in the Verse he plays some more melody in the Chorus. Listen for instance at Chorus 2 (bars 51-60). Ik like the way John varies the more punchy/staccato groove in the Verse with the more melodic groove in the Chorus.
I think this song is a typical John Illsley bassline: it isn’t too difficult, but it’s very functional and musical. He 'pushes' the song and he varies in a musical way if you compare the Verse with the Chorus.
I play this song on a Fender Jazz Bass with roundwound strings. Tuning is E A D G. No effects used except a bit compression and a preamp. The song is at concert pitch (A4 = 440 Hz).
