It was realy wonderful to read al the examples of his bass works. But i felt the thread name should have been Rahman's Bass Works or something similar to it. I say this because using the Bass Guitar is not unique to Rahman. Ilayaraja is considered as one of the Greatest Bass Guitarists himself.
to know more read this http://www.geocities.com/violinvicky/BossOfBass.html http://www.raaja.com/guitarprasanna/ No intentions to start a debate here. Jus felt that certain facts needed to be cleared as we shouldnt be ignorant of certain landmarks in tamil music. So only thing i wanted to say was that it wasn't "Unique" to Rahman, others have also used it.
