So what is your favorite or some of your favorite bass line/riffs/grooves? I have way to many to mention but i am listening to "yyz" by Rush and Geddy has a great bass line on that song. Sorry if their is another thread like this....

I'm partial to "Red Barchetta", myself. Geddy has played so many great parts, it's hard to pick just one. Or 20.

| | | | another Rush bassline that i like....That riff in the beginning of Cygnus X-1 that fades in slowly (it sounds as if it is in an auditorium)...Do you guys know what I am talking about? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2002 Location: Edmonton AB | | yeah I love the intro to Cygnus X-1, thats such a cool proggy line!
Since we're all Rush fans here  the track Hemispheres has one of my favorite bass lines ever, Geddy was such a master on that one, I wouldn't want to change a single note!
Roundabout by Yes is another classic line, love that Rick tone, Squire is a god  |

For years it was Orion, and it's still top five, but now I would have to go with Wooten on Sinister Minister or Sex in a Pan. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
