"Mr. Moto" play-along on Framus 5/149 Star-Bass

These are videos of me playing along with some pre-recorded tunes, showing how I typically practice material for one of my bands when I'm at home. Click below on SHOW MORE for technical details and song-specific information. The bass is a Framus 5/149 Star-Bass (1965) with Optima RB flatwound strings. It's very comfortable to play and is probably my main go-to bass for practicing at home. The acoustic sound from the body coupled with the amplified sound of the little computer speaker system it's plugged into sounds really nice in person. ------------------------------------- This song was fun to learn, as the Bel-Airs' original recording had no bass instrument at all. Not even a fat guy going "bmm bmm bmm bmm..." So this gave me the opportunity to write my own bass line for it. I originally recorded a version of this right after I did "Walk, Don't Run" with my Danelectro bass, but for some reason, the audio in the video recording was completely muted. So here is attempt number two, but with the Framus bass. Other bands (The Ventures, etc.) did covers of this tune, and wrote their own bass lines for it, but I completely ignored all of that and came up with what I thought was an ideal fit. Something simple and surfy, something that fits all the chords of the song wile requiring very little skill or technique. Feel free to steal it for your own use. ------------------------------------- Technical details are as follows: Music track - Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, Windows Media Player with the lows rolled off on the app's graphic equalizer, played through a Vizio soundbar system. Bass - Plugged directly into an Altec Lansing VS2421 mini speaker system aux input with the help of a 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch adapter Video/microphone - BlackBerry Key2 balanced precariously on a desk, using its native camera app and built-in microphones It might not be "ideal," but it works just fine for now. And actually, when I am just practicing and not recording these dumb videos, I just use my Blackberry to play the music through the main input of the Altec Lansing speakers, with the bass plugged into the aux input. But being that I am using the phone to record videos, please keep in mind that these are recorded at low-level "bedroom" volume, so the phone's microphones pick up a lot of stray acoustic noise from fingers hitting the strings, strings hitting the frets, etc.
