One of the forgotten facts about Abba is that they were a 7 piece band. Just watch a KZbin gig of theirs in Japan, it was the 5 guys and the 2 girls but they were very much a band. Rutger put so much into their fantastic sound. He was a trained musician, so would have kept them on track. George Martin played a similar role with the beatles. I have heard the individual members of ABBA play huge tribute to the backroom boys, but for image and commercial reasons they probably could not have been included in the band.

Hi, my name is Arnold Paseiro and I just came across your post. I live in Miami and was part of a group named Foxy. We also did studio sessions for an array of artists that lived here or were in town to record. Abba came to town and we were called on to do the session for Voulez-Vous. I played bass on the track and Joe Galdo played drums, Ish Ledesma on guitar. We were a recording group during that time so we were used to playing together. Abba came in with the structure of the song and we put in our parts on the fly. It didn’t take long to establish a groove and we recorded it fairly quickly. Enjoyed your page.✌🏼

The bass is the best part of any song. It’s the driving force that gives the song its primordial life force. It is the structural skeleton that the rest of song is built around.
@Ytterdahls2 жыл бұрын
It depends on what kind of music it is of course. Prince had several hits with no bassline. Kiss and When Doves Cry are both examples of songs with absolutely no bass guitar. It is to be said though, that he always wrote songs with bass guitar. He just removed it afterwards if he thought it sounded better without it. That's the nice thing about multitrack recording. Involving a bass in the song writing process, makes the musicians play differently. So the bass had a role in how they were composed, even though it was removed afterwards. Leading your statement to be true, even in the examples I provided. They were a driving force for how it was composed, but removed later.

Fantastic spotlight on ABBA’s amazing bass lines. They are set back in the mix and you did a great job of bringing them to the front. Great chops!

ABBA arent a band that mix their bass parts in the back of their mixes. They were a Disco band primarily. Bass is probably the most important instrument. I guess if you arent listening on proper headphones or through proper speakers the bass is hard to hear as with all music.
