This video is a play-through of Carol Kaye's bassline from 'Good Vibrations', the hit song from The Beach Boys. This song has a fantastic, melodic bassline and is great fun to play. This line was recorded using a Fender Precision bass strung with flatwound strings. The tone control was rolled all the way off, and a piece of felt was taped over the strings at the bridge to prevent any 'overtones'. The bass was recorded via a SansAmp Bass Driver DI, all controls set flat. A small amount of compres

Why is Carol Kaye such a badass bass player? 🔥🤔 Who better to answer than Beach Boys' Brian Wilson? She’s not just laying down bass lines—she’s shaping entire songs. Carol’s mastery of harmony and her creative use of melodic lines made her work stand out in hits like "Good Vibrations" and "California Girls." Instead of sticking to just roots and fifths, she’d pull out thirds, walk-ups, and all sorts of spicy harmonic ideas that were way ahead of her time. 🎶 If you want to understand harmony a

On May 16, 1966, The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" was released, featuring 2025 Inductee Carol Kaye.

Arguably, her most significant working relationship was with Beach Boys mastermind and musical virtuoso Brian Wilson, who sang her praises whenever he had the chance. Kaye worked with Wilson on many occasions, with her bass guitar featur

Good Vibrations the Lost Studio Footage 1. The song was recorded over a period of about 6 months in 4 different studios. 2. I'm guessing this film was recorded in a day and is probably more or less lip synced and acted for the purposes of promotion. 3.Bassist Carol Kaye played on several of the "Good Vibrations" sessions, and has been identified as a prominent contributor to the track. However, analysis by Beach Boys archivist Craig Slowinski indicates that none of those recordings made the fina
