Duran Duran - We Need You - bass performance video free download
I've always loved this track. Warren's arpeggio guitar line and the almost hypnotic chord movement paired with the super simple, super effective bass line by John work so beautifully together. Add in Simon and Nick and you've got a stellar track. It should have been a single! I also love that it's short and sweet like a great Smiths song.
You will hear the Kubicki's amazing 36" D string in the bridge section. Just play that D on your A string if you don't have a Kubicki Ex-Factor, a 5 string or a de-tuned E string. ;-)
Dedicated to Phil Kubicki who passed away earlier this year. Thank you for creating such a wonderful instrument. You will be missed.

I love all of Zuma's Duran Duran bass lesson videos.. If I remember correctly, 'We Need You' was written during the early 'Notorious' recordings about Andy who was off in LA recording his solo album and ultimately left the group for the first time back in 1985-8610 years ago

Agreed - this bass line is so hypnotic - thanks for bringing it back! Also, wasn't this song written by Simon, JT and Nicky as a message to Andy Taylor to return to the band? "We Need You"11 years ago

Glad to see back on the tubes brother! Thanks for toasting Phillip Kubicki too. I was hoping to commission a custom factor, but unfortunately that idea came too late. Hope you find the time to resume your lessons. I final11 years ago

Wow, I haven't seen a Kubicki Factor bass in years. I always thought it was unique with its approach to dropped tuning. I haven't seen any other guitars or basses like it.11 years ago
