The Strike - S9-E10
Visible crew/equipment: When Jerry is chasing after Gwen and when he returns to the table, you can see the shadow of the boom mic on the wall. It is most noticeable to the right of the framed picture. (00:20:57)
Visible crew/equipment: After Elaine gets out of the taxi, she starts walking on the sidewalk, before chasing after the taxi once it drives away. The reflection of the filming crew can be seen in the windows of the buildings next to her when she starts walking. (00:06:32)
Answer: Composer Jonathan Wolff used a synthesizer, although in seasons 7-9, a real bass is used in addition. Wolff also recorded himself making hundreds of mouth noises, pops, and slaps to add to the synthesized bass licks so that each episode has a different theme. The only real "back-story" is Jerry Seinfeld was having trouble coming up with a theme song and talked to a friend who happened to know Wolff. They wanted to avoid that cheesy late 80's sit-com theme song and Wolff came up with what we enjoy now. Jonathan Wolff has also talked about this further in interviews, recently Reed Dunela interviewed him, so for a fuller account of his story; check out "The Wolff of 116th street".
