In today’s video, we handed a bass to the legendary Tony Franklin – best known for his fretless wizardry in stellar supergroup The Firm – and asked him to tackle one of Vulfpeck’s super funky and beautifully syncopated rhythm tracks. The crazy part? He’s NEVER heard the song before! We gave Tony the track without bass and asked him to come up with his own bass line. Did he nail it..?
