Today I present the classic Gdybyś kochał hej - a 1969 hit from the Polish group Breakout. It isn’t too difficult to play, although I had to improvise a couple of parts because there aren’t any tabs available
.
The setup is fairly clean - just the Rick running through my trusty Motorbass overdrive. And some new Rotosound 66s
! I think I would have benefited from some compression though. Also the problem with playing sustained notes is that you get to hear the massive deadspot at B…
Moises had trouble isolating the bass so to get the backing track, I removed the right stereo track (the bass was panned to the right in the original) and panned the left to the centre. Hence a couple of parts sound a bit weedier than the original.
I’m having a spot of bother with my intonation on the first string so I’ve tuned the bass at the 7th fret until I can book a visit to the town luthier. This also works with Motorhead songs ![]()
Anyway -
