    I've always found it interesting how ABBA songs have strong basslines that make up a large part of the overall sound of the band and how when performing live, the bass player was in the wings, or even in one tv appearance, the bass player sat on the end of the front row of the crowd! Top video as always, definitely one of the best technical players on RUclips! :D

      But respect that they had enough guts a faith in it to keep that part extended. So many times I hear songs and they are afraid to "go over" and the cut a great segment short for time or whatever reason when it should have been longer. One comes to mind is Seal's "Crazy" heard clear on album version, there is a small segment with a powerful african drums. When I hear that it frustrats me because they treat it as a throw away. I would have centered a song around it. One thing I like about rap (one of the few things) is that they would find a segment thrown away and do just that: make a whole song out of it

      Luke McKELVEY I can't scan an email in a youtube comment - I can say that someone who contacted me on Facebook put me in touch with Mike Watson. I can verify the email address as it matched his website. Specifically about this track, Mike confirmed he played on Gimme, Gimme Gimme (and corrected me that Rutger, not he, played bass on Fernando). He said he used his 1966 Jazz bass which he bought second hand in 1970. He had changed the pickups to Schecter at this time. Mike also confirmed there were no charts at the sessions. If you google Mike, he has a website (in Swedish and English) and you can contact him through the site. You can see my article by googling Abba Bassists if you're interested. You can email me through my website.
