Dancing Queen Bass Cover
“You’re in the mood for a dance…”
41 years and a day ago, on October 11, 1976, Swedish Pop Super-Group, ABBA, released this song on their album “Arrival”. Off course, perhaps like some of you, I had a good laugh at “Dancing Queen” back then and for many years to come. After all, it was just "pop" music, right? I have to say, I’m not laughing so hard now. Has anybody really tried learning this song? I mean, REALLY learning it? I actually played the song in a band years back and remember there being a lot going on with the bass-line, but I just focused on the money notes and didn’t really delve very deeply into the part. I do remember cracking up every time Liv sang, “You’re in the mood for a dance…” That line just seemed to take on such a serious tone and I always found it funny for some reason. Anyway, when I decided to sit down and really pick the line apart I was startled at how much nuance and detail it had. There are ghost and pick-up notes aplenty, as well as interesting and subtle rhythmic and harmonic variations and, while I’d like to say, “I nailed it.” I really can’t, because there are a few things that I just threw the towel in on, but I did my best to capture as many goodies as I could. I put as much time into this song as any other challenging song I've covered. I love a bass-line that makes me wonder, “How did he come up with that?” And the playing is tight yet has a "slurred" quality that I found difficult to capture. My hat goes off to the late, great, Rutger Gunnarsson who played this incredible bass-line.
I’m playing the fancy looking Spector Legend that had the pick-up and pre-amp upgrades.
