Gunnarson was amazing. It’s so difficult to play with that syncopated and staccato style and still have the same feel. RIP

[@mythcrab6047]

This bassline is so interesting. I love the music of ABBA because everything seems in service of the song. Like a team trying to complete an objective. Thanks for this one, bud. Hope you're well.

[@fusiongh0st736]

YES ABBA! As a swede it's great to see you do an ABBA song and here's hoping it brings in more viewers

[@justsomebasslines]

thanks man, i'd been meaning to do some ABBA for a long time - Gunnarsson was such a beast!

[@cruzmylne2802]

excellent as usual my friend! loving the tone on that fretless so clean and yet chunky at the same time.

[@justsomebasslines]

many thanks cruz 🙏 i have to admit i really loved playing the fretless, i'll have to find some more excuses to bring it back :)

[@lucpraslan]

You get a like from me. I love ABBA. I love this song. I love baselines. And I love that you notated the music 👍🏻👍🏻

Hello there, could you perhaps send me the tablature file/guitar pro file if you have it? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Fredrik, Sweden

ABBA Band dari Swedia...? Waaah gw jadi teringat waktu Kuliah di UNas Jakarta nih, tau gak Gaes, gw sampe moto kopi sampul kaset yg ada lirik lagunya, harap maklumlaah waktu itu gw takut salah spelling karena listening gw pas pasan, plus gw nya juga lg Bokek buat beli Kaset Baru Abba, Duit gw nya Abis terus tergerus sama Warteg, Bakso dan Mie Ayam. Mohon Harap di Maklum ya Gaes, gw kan type Mahasiswa Pas Pasan.

[@ericdraven7185]

this has been a difficult song for me to learn

[@justsomebasslines]

it's not an easy one, Gunnarsson's feel and articulation is very nuanced, especially if you're also playing on fretless - but stick with it, i know you can nail it! 💪

[@BassicswithPaul]

Great playing bud! Nice fretless bass. I love this ABBA song. 🔥

[@f1livenews2023]

Nice rendering. Specially on a fretless. Is the studio recording played on that kind?

[@justsomebasslines]

thanks - yes, Gunnarsson plays a fretless on the original

[@TheDelainaAngela]

Beautiful.

[@DavidPavluk]

Awesome! loving the song and tabs, but I also cant stop looking at that bass 👀

[@justsomebasslines]

aye, she's a beaut :)

[@gpwhughes]

Oooo…nice bass. That ain’t off the shelf 😢

[@justsomebasslines]

no it isn't, heh, it's a custom build done by the relative of mine who's lending me all these wonderful basses - it's a good one, it plays like butter :)

[@jerkergidlund4148]

I have heard several bass covers of One of us but this is by far the best. Perfect phrasing!

[@justsomebasslines]

thank you, that's really kind!
