I Wasn’t Ready For This Bass Line

🚨 BRAND NEW HATS & T-SHIRTS! 👉 https://shoplowend.com --------------------------------------------------- ➡️ Simple Minds immediately made sense to me the second Derek Forbes came flying in with that bass line. “Glittering Prize” somehow feels punchy, spacious, melodic, and restrained all at the same time, and the bass is doing an absurd amount of heavy lifting without ever sounding overcrowded. What really grabbed me was how singable the groove was. It’s flashy, but it’s also memorable in the same way a vocal hook is memorable, and there were multiple moments where I rewound sections just to hear how the bass interacted with the sparse vocal melody and all the little synth layers moving around it. --------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Intro 0:45 Reaction / Analysis 12:08 Final Thoughts --------------------------------------------------- 📺 MORE REACTIONS: ▶️ THE JAM:    • I Gave THE JAM Another Shot…Now I Get It.   ▶️ DURAN DURAN:    • Bass Teacher REACTS | John Taylor is a SYN...   ▶️ THE STRANGLERS:    • First Time Hearing THE STRANGLERS! Bass Te...   --------------------------------------------------- Mark Michell is an internationally-touring and recording bass player known for his work with Scale the Summit, Tony MacAlpine, Tetrafusion, Watermox, and more.
