I'm wracking my brains for the answer. I LOVED Level 42 - Mark King must be the most proficient exponent of that type of bass playing. I lost interest when they went all poppy though - "Running In The Family" and all that bowl-locks.
Favourite albums: Early Tapes, Level 42, Standing In The light, The Pursuit Of Accidents. If that name suddenly springs to mind, I'll let you know (unless someone beats me to it).
