This is quite remarkable - lovely arrangement, very musically-played - and exploring aspects of the electric bass guitar which I did not know existed.

After finding that playing the alto sax broke my front teeth - well cracked them horizontally so they were in danger of snappage - I once upon a time tried to play bass guitar in a couple of amateur R&B groups; but I couldn't manage it, and practice proved useless.
Normal bass playing (rather than this extraordinary Zander Zon way of playing) is technically simple, but all about rhythm - and rhythm is something you either have (to a sufficient degree) or you just don't - and I was the latter. I could hear I was playing it slightly wrong - but I couldn't play it right.
I had rhythm enough to sing or play melody, but not to be the basis of it, in the rhythm section. No way...
