Scott Walker - The Old Man's Back Again as played by Dave Richmond (Bass cover with tabs) 

Another great bassline by Dave Richmond, very challenging, too.
Thanks to him for confirming that it was played with fingers and recorded with a DI.
I believe it was in a radio interview where I heard him talk about this recording : He was not convinced by the written bass line and asked the arranger if he could try something else. We really hear his jazz double bass playing in this improvisation : He plays in the chords of the grid and spice it up by adding tensions, chromatisms ... It’s pretty close, in my opinion, to what James Jamerson, also a former double bass player, did on "What’s going on" and Motown tracks in general.
This is a 1963 Burns Bison with rotosound tru-bass tapewound black nylon. It was recorded in cubase direct to soundcard.
