"Riders on the Storm" by The Doors has an incredible bassline which is indeed played by a bassist, but... It came from the mind of the keyboardist, Ray Manzarek, who initially got it on the keyboard. Also, he used to play most of the band basslines on a bass synth, with his left hand, while playing whatever else on his right hand. Supposedly, this is where his high-sounding organ came from.

Ray Manzarek was the king of keyboard bass grooves. Break on Through and Riders on the Storm are the best known ones. Personally I like the Peace Frog the best. It's crazy how bass was front and center in a lot of Doors songs.

I think you should do a video now about bass lines that everyone thinks are guitars lines. I know several riffs I took the time to learn on guitar turned out to be bass lines played with distortion or fuzz. Tool does this a lot- not sure what effect they use on the bass but- it sounds like a guitar a lot of the time. Awesome video man- I had no idea any of these weren't a real bass but, I think the Seinfeld thing surprised me the most. I used to play in a jazz band and we turned the Seinfeld intro into a head- it was about 5 minutes long, and fun as hell to play. We incorporated several Television theme songs into it but the Seinfeld piece was the backbone of what we were doing. Damn- I had forgotten all about that- that was when I was 19-20 years old- I'm 50 now. Time flies... actually it speeds up, not sure why but as you get older it just goes faster and faster and faster. A year goes by so fast now it's crazy- I'm always shocked. This one is half over- almost- doesn't seem possible.

It's the same for the theme of "impossible misions" which is played on piano. It's even very impressive to see how fast the left hand play.

Modern synths have a clavinet setting that emulates the sound of an actual clavinet, much like how they have a setting that emulates the tone of the piano. But Stevie Wonder played an actual clavinet on "Superstition." Synth clavinets didn't exist until the mid-late 1980's. The real clavinet produces sound by plucking a string, just like a harpsichord (or clavichord, thus the name), but instead of mechanically amplifying the sound with an acoustic soundboard, the clavinet uses a pickup, just like an electric guitar or electric bass. It's definitely not a synthesizer.

Well Dave i remember back in the late 70’s and into the 80’s strings were being replaced by synths. Record labels were too happy to accomodate synth keyboardists in lieu of hiring orchestral strings and other session players. So this is no different.

This feels like a caricature of your original personality. However, your performance on bass is a excellent as ever.

With a synthesizer, it's someone playing one bass note and then someone else records it, puts it into the synthesizer which plays the sound at different pitches on the keys.

The basslines in almost every song The Doors played were actually played on an analog synth Ray Manzarek had sitting on top of his Rhodes Piano when they played live concerts. They only recorded using an actual bass for the studio albums. Crazy thing is, Manzarek was so good at mimicking bass on keyboard, you couldn't tell the difference. Also, Kurzweil makes some of the best keyboards around, so the fact that the composer of the Seinfeld theme used a Kurzweil to mimic bass is very unsurprising.

The one that shocked me most was not included here. The funky, groovy. bass line in Dua Lipa's Don't Start Now!

The White Stripes song would've fooled me if I hadn't heard about it before, but the Puth one was the only shocker (as the rest sounded sounded very keyboard-like to me). That "Attention" bass sound almost reminds me of those programs used to replicate voices. It's the Sonic Uncanny Valley more and more.

Michael Jackson’s “Bad” album was 100% synth bass in 1987 by Quincy Jones.

False. "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" features bass guitar by Nathan East. Also, Davie is wrong about "Billie Jean". Louis Johnson also played the riff on bass guitar along with a synth.

There’s a low bass note an octave below the first note of the riff from a synth that helps create a pulse feel. Bassist Louis Johnson played his part on every bass guitar he owned, before Jackson settled for a Yamaha bass.

Look at Tom Brownes „jamaica funk“ from 1981... the bass line is played by Bernard Edwards on Moog, and Marcus Miller ads a flanged guitar like sound.

'Body Language' by Queen has synth bass throughout.

Billie Jean’s bass line was actually recorded on the bass, they just overdubbed a low keys part as well
