Who played bass on Herb Alpert's "Rise"?
Rise (instrumental) doesn't say.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  22:21, 28 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Did you followed the link to the original album that the instrumental solo track was issued as a single here: ? The bass is said to be: Pat Senatore under members. Perhaps? Maineartists (talk) 22:50, 28 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Tricky, but I don't think it was Pat Senatore. The album features several bassists, including legendary James Jamerson ... The original album credits appear to say it was Abraham Laboriel (see for example AM Corner or discogs) but some participants in bass forums say it sounds more like Louis Johnson, (particularly the sound of the instrument being more like that of a Music Man StingRay than a Fender Precision Bass). See for example talkbass.com or or stevehoffman.tv's forum ... ---Sluzzelin talk  22:59, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I didn't see Pat Senatore listed as a bass player in that article.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  16:33, 30 November 2016 (UTC)


 * In the album link: at the very bottom Herb Albert under members. Maineartists (talk) 16:55, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
