This recent article focuses on Randy’s bass-playing style. She thinks Randy is particularly unique as a groove player: http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2018/09...5tVry8RL0SOq-E

Thanks for posting this! I’ve read it before—it’s gratifying whenever musicians take note of Randy’s work. I thought I recognized Randy’s bass playing in “Calico Lady” and it seems the writer agrees. So I guess not all his bass parts were wiped from the album.

This passage is also interesting:
As a groove player, Meisner’s attention to note duration is quite unique. He often players shorter, punchier notes with rests in between them; this assertive rhythmic approach helps to define the feel of the song as well as his personal style. This attention to note duration, and particularly in keeping his notes short and precise, is evident in songs such as “Hotel California and “Life in the Fast Lane.”

I have a copy of Bass Player magazine where the writer, Brian Fox, says something similar:

Don’t be fooled by the long notes in the “Hotel California” intro (letter A)—the song is filled with ghost notes and slides that combine to make the tune a treasure trove of tasty techniques. Throughout, pay special attention to note duration—it’s clear from the recording Randy carefully chose when to let notes ring and when to cut them off.

(I don’t why I’m getting these different fonts...)
