BLONDIE - Call Me - Bass cover

The tune was released in 1980 for the film American Gigolo. The form is very direct — intro, verse, chorus, repeat — and the arrangement relies on tight drums, pulsing synths, and a bass line that sticks closely to the root notes to keep the momentum steady. It sounds simple, but it challenges one's precision and stamina.

Lyrically, it is desire mixed with control, the repeated title line works like a command, which fits the song’s sharp, assertive tone.

Bass used: Maruszczyk Elwood L Custom Shop Bass (bridge pickup in parallel, front pickuip single coil). Sound demo under    • Maruszczyk Elwood L Custom Shop Bass - Sou...   and    • Maruszczyk Elwood L Custom Shop Bass - Sou...  

Recorded with GarageBand and OBS Studio, powered by a PreSonus Studio 68c. I used the Darkglass Anagram with the public preset PilsBassRecordWarm

Not necessarily 100% like the original, but for use in a cover band. This is neither a studio recording nor a tutorial video. This is to honour the composers and previous generations of musicians and to enjoy the song as it is. Yes, there are mistakes and I hope to be able to play the tune better one day :-)
