'Interestingly, Frank rarely wrote particularly demanding bass parts. There are plenty of difficult passages in his music, but the bass guitar doesn’t usually get the most technically challenging material.

... Frank wrote basslines that his bass players didn’t actually play as written because they couldn’t quite manage them.'
