This is a play through of Mark King's bassline from the Level 42 song 'Past Lives'. This song is from the 1994 Forever Now album. I performed this song using a Sei Flamboyant 5-string bass.
A full transcription of this song can be found in The Level 42 Bass Book - Vol. 3, which is now available from Bassline Publishing. This book features 17 songs from the band's Guaranteed and Forever Now albums, all transcribed in standard notation and TAB, with chord symbols.

The music is fully licensed and the books have met the approval of Mark King himself: 'I'm thrilled that the bass parts from the Level 42 catalogue have been so beautifully charted by Stuart and hope they prove useful to beginners and experienced players alike. Bass is ace!' Mark King - Level 42
