2927.0. "TV Bass Work" by NWD002::TUTAK_PE (It's like working in Bosnia) Thu May 05 1994 16:10

    
    I was watching the Ellen DeGeneres show ('These Friends of Mine') on TV
    the other night, and I was really delighted by the background music,
    which is mostly fretless bass and percussion. It doesn't sound sampled,
    and if it's real, this person has beautiful technique using
    double-stops. The style sounds a bit like (Mark ?) Egan from Elements,
    or what I remember Michael Manring sounding like several years ago.
    
    I didn't catch the credits. Anyone know ?

    hey, what about the great bass AND guitar in the theme to
    Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers? Japanese monster-movie metal!
    Can't watch more than 6 seconds of the show, though.

    Yeah it sure would be nice to get a gig doing Mike posts music playing
    his guitar parts. He's one of the hjottest composer players for prime
    time tv shows and movies. Although he's a keyboard player he always
    scores in  TASTEy guitar. Ands what about all that over-driven slide
    work in commercials these days. 
    
    	Sorry dont have the bas players name from your show.
    
    
    	Oh just remembered a teen show from about 15 years ago called 'Hot
    Hero Sandwich" It had a really catchy, funky rock theme. Luckily I
    caught it on tape and still have it!
