What is a prime example of an OFG bass guitar, you ask?
Why it's a Rickenbacker, of course, 4001 and or a 4003 specifically. They have an amazing growl and klank about them, think Geddy Lee, Lemmy or Cliff Burton to name just a few.
If Jesus played a bass, you can bet it would be on a Ric.

They ALL play bass on this song..
The title refers to the female behind, but also to the low, bass-heavy sound in this song. Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap says, "Historically, people love hearing low sounds. Whales, orangutan, various creatures of the night - they all love a low sound."
On this track, guitarists David St. Hubbins and Nigel Tufnel play bass, and bassist Derek Smalls plays a double-neck bass, leaving just drums and keyboards to enhance the sound. When Tufnel briefly left the band, they had the keyboard player double up his bass pedal to perform this live.

This is the bass that is meant to be felt, not heard.
