The Metro - Berlin - Bass Cover | 2021 Harley Benton PB-20 SBK

When people think of the New Wave/Pop band "Berlin", the songs "Take My Breath Away" and "No More Words" are probably the first two that come to mind. This song did not crack the top 50 when it was released in 1981. It was later released on different labels in 1982 and 1983, when it became the band's first MTV video hit in 1983.

For the bass player, this song is relentless with fast-paced 8th notes throughout the entire song. I started a 1 measure metronome in my earbuds before the song began so I wouldn't miss the first note.

I'm using a modified 2021 Harley Benton PB-20 SBK Bass + Fender Rumble Stage 800 amp. DI out direct to GarageBand.

It is a shockingly inexpensive bass that I picked up as a modding platform. I purchased mine here and saved on shipping by buying 2 instruments at the same time: https://www.thomannmusic.com/harley_benton_pb_20_sbk_standard_series.htm
