Well Barney Miller was definitely played on a real electric bass. Probably a Fender Jazz with flats. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->K > > Sounds better on a keyboard, that’s how it was recorded for the show. >No > > bass player played that line.  A damn shame because it is so catchy. > Um… you’re thinking of the Seinfeld theme perchance? > LOL… > — >   /"  ASCII Ribbon Campaign                | Todd H >   /                                       | http://www.toddh.net/ >    X   Promoting good netiquette            | http://triplethreatband.com/ >   /  http://www.toddh.net/netiquette/     | "4 lines suffice."

Damn, i had not thought of the Night Court bass line in forever…i used to play that one.  Never did learn the Barney Miller one though.. Come check out the SX, Brice and Agile guitars Yahoo group. http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/SX_Brice_Agile/

Sounds better on a keyboard, that’s how it was recorded for the show.  No bass player played that line.  A damn shame because it is so catchy. K

I’ve got a student that makes me play that as his "outro" for every lesson. Just thought I’d mention that. On a related note, why doesn’t anyone ever request the "Night Court" bass line?
