Recently, I went BAIB RealTrack-searching for a bass track - one that is ~ 60 - 80 BPM and mostly plays notes on the 1 &, 3 & with the occasional pushed 1 note. Something like I'd expect in Neil Young's 'Old man' or 'Heart of Gold'. After a bit of fruitless searching, I put 'Neil Young' in the title search and up popped both songs but showing 'swing' feel. Swing? Nah. I was tapping away on my desk while humming to confirm that both are 'straight'. I've always associated swing with triplet 8th notes - long, short as some describe. I went looking up YouTube videos describing swing music theory which all seem to confirm my historic understanding.

Am I too narrow in my understanding of swing? What feel would you classify 'Old man' and 'Heart of gold'? Is BIAB title database just wrong? If so, how can we change it?

PS If you happen to know of a bass RT that meets my requirements (BIAB or user style track), please let me know the number or where to find it - I haven't found one yet. Also (this is a more extreme request), if anyone familiar with Split Enz and their song 'One step ahead' knows of a bass RealTrack like it, I'd be happy to hear about that as well.
