Who else wants to see her cover ALL of ABBAs songs! Julia does a fantastic job!

[ziblot]

I never realized Abba had such Monster bass parts. Theey really had strong bass parts that were the foundation of the melodys

[excaliburhead]

That intro to Gimme Gimme is just so inventive. Hats off to Rutger Gunnarsson. Wow.

[offsuiter]

When you bring bass to the front, it shows how much it drives songs and how unnoticed it goes. Thinking of getting a bass for the first time at age 42.

Finally the instrumentalists in ABBA get the the recognition they deserve thanks to video's like this. ABBA songs are such a perfect machinery. Everythings falls into place.

Most people wouldn't know Rutger gunnarsson but he made ABBA songs tick he was actually one of the great bass players thanks Julia

[joakim]

Rutger Gunnarsson is one of the most underrated bassplayers ever!

[KRAZEEIZATION]

Rutgar Gunnarsun was one of the best bass players ever. He and John Deacon of Queen are two of the greatest understated bassmen in the history of the instrument!

[DudemanSwede]

Ahhh, seldom that I hear bass players that can imitate Rutger's sound. LOVELY! Respect from a ABBA-loving Swede

[xyildiz]

Julia's bass face always melts me 💛

[TenorReacts]

I absolutely love Gimme’s bass. Can’t explain it but sends me to “that place!”

[curtismapman]

I've never seen anyone cover these complex bass lines with such feel and accuracy. Rutger would give you a big hug if he were here. I am in awe...

[karmicselling]

Julia your playing is sensational. Rutger was one of the greatest Bass players in the history of music. Bjorn and Benny knew exactly what they were doing having Rutger on ABBAs recordings. Rutger literally makes the Bass sing - like an extra vocalist! Much love from the Land Down Under, a country somewhat familiar to the great ABBA.

Voulez Vouz has an absolute monster of a bassline

[Collwila]

At last, somebody super appreciates the true genius of the ABBA bass players. Thankyou

[nentihaiudittu]

I love how bass guitar is the perfect bridge between drums and guitar, sometimes more melodic and at times completely driving the rhythm.

[saxyjones]

What a great musician this young Lady is. Spot on.

[aopoczko]

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! and Voulez-Vous are completely off the charts, but never seen them included in any "hard bass lines" ever. Amazing!

[matt]

Wow..This gives me the chills...45 yrs later and I've never grasped, or was truly even conscious of, the genius bass lines driving their music. Thank you, Julia, for using your wonderful talent to bring this to us.

Wonderful! Another bass player that understands that bass underpins the GROOVE of a song, NOT the sound. Absolutely fantastic tone!
