The Dig That Groovy Bassline Thread.

Topics

Prometheus

Bass players. They never get to do solos, most of the time no matter how famous their band is people are at a loss to remember their names (even drummers get more recognition) yet some songs just wouldn't be the same at all without them. Post your homages to Godlike basslines here.

I'll start with this one. The bassline on the verse just grooves along all by its little self without a care in the world for anything else.

Issy I like the song but that's one of the most basic bassline I've ever heard

A great bassline (in the middle) from the masters themselves.

Cagney, go to youtube, choose your song. Highlight the web address (top bar on your screen) and press control C to copy it. Come here and reply then click on insert/edit embedded media on the right side to the left of the quote button then click insert and submit reply.

I hope it's not your web browser stopping you doing this or that will have sounded really patronising

I would just like to say that what I thought was a bassline was not a bassline so now I am not sure what one is anymore so I am sulking.

This one has someone playing Bass, in it, somewhere.
Does that count?

This is an INCREDIBLE bass line not opinion not subjective nothing to do with personal taste just plain old fashioned FACT!

Most songs are overpowered by lead guitar. Don't get me wrong....I LOVE lead guitar and I'm teaching myself at the moment (actually I've been teaching myself for about 5 years)

BUT IMO it's bass that holds a song together. I annoy my OH because I every song I hear I pick out the bass line and point it out to him (with my air bass guitar)

I'm sure I've seen Patrick O'Hearn do a bass solo.

Fight the good fight Cagney

I wrote all my songs on guitar but absolutely adore really good basslines. Unsung heroes to hell and back

Most musicians use paper I think - do you have a special pen?

Can I just add the criminally under-rated Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order). Something of a genius on the quiet.

Hooky - great shout
