‘About Damn Time’ is a song from Lizzo’s fourth album, Special. Featuring an inventive bass part that is dominant in the mix, the song was a worldwide hit when it was released as a single in April 2022. The bassline on this song was performed by producer/bassist/singer/songwriter Eric Burton Frederic (under the name Ricky Reed), who also co-wrote it.

I performed the line using a '66 Fender Jazz Bass strung with Rotosound strings.
