herbie flowers played the bass line on walk on the wild side, and he also wrote the number

one hit grandad sung by clive dunn. he also provided the double-tracked bass riff for "rock on" by david essex. the distinct, almost percussive bass sound was achieved by recording two separate bass parts with different pitches and applying a "slapback" delay effect, creating a unique polyrhythmic groove. yeah baby.

spare a moment of your day to give a nod toward the direction of the genius of mr herbie flowers User Posted Link

or just bash on with your dull af culture wars boreathon, entirely up to you.
