Here's a cover that might not have seen the light of day had my Scottish friend, Stewart Mckinlay, and I not had a conversation about it earlier today.
The song is "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None The Richer or just Sixpence.
It's a fairly simple bassline bit has some really tasteful parts. I find the recurring chromatic part @ 01:00 interesting, as well as the use of two-note chords during the verses.
In looking up some info for the song, I was surprised to learn that they were/are a Christian band and that they are from America. Actually, they were founded in Texas, but I guess that's close enough. Haha. I always though they had an "English" sound about them.
They seem to have gone through a number of bass players but it looks like a fellow by the name of J.J. Plasencio played on this song. The song is off their third, self-titled album which came out in 1997.
I'm playing my "Classic 70's Precision" to which I added a bridge position Jazz pick-up.
