Considered one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, Seinfeld is also synonymous with slap bass. You may recall that a somewhat synthetic example of the sound was used to underscore Jerry’s opening monologue and to create the show’s between-scene audio transitions, and proved divisive to say the least.
On first listen, you might think that this was just a preset from an ‘80s synth. The names of the Yamaha DX7 and Korg M1 have both been put forward in the past, while others have speculated that it was the 360 Systems MIDI Bass that provided the sound. However, when this last instrument was suggested by Robotussin on Instagram, who should pop up to provide a correction but Seinfeld soundtracker Jonathan Wolff.
