Simply Red - Stars (Bass Cover)

I grew up hearing this song (along with other Simply Red tunes) on the radio all the time, and was always captivated by the melodic chorus. When I revisited the song years later after learning how to play electric bass, I was amazed by how groovy Shaun Ward&bassline was, and how simple groove and note placement really drove the song. Having recently upgraded by ESP Tetsu Bass IV with Graphtech graphite saddles and a Nordstrand Audio Tone Drop, I decided that it was the best bass I had in my arsenal to cop Shaun Ward&killer top 40s Jazz Bass tone.
