I'm curious as to what are your favorite basslines played on a keyboard. Mine are:
"You Are in My System" - The System
"One More Shot" - C Bank
"Mama Used To Say" - Junior
"AM/FM" - Natasha Smith
"Planet Rock" - Soulsonic Force
"Flashlight", "Aqua Boogie", & "Mothership Connection" - Parliament
"All Day Sucker" - Stevie Wonder
"So Fine" - Kashif
"Hangin' Out" - Bernard Wright
Too many to name, I guess.

I recall that SP stuff being double tracked with live bass as well.

I also remembered "How Will I Know" by Whitney Houston. IIRC, "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson played keyboard bass on that track.

|  | Unprofessional TalkBass Contributor | | Join Date: Dec 1999 Location: Brighton, England, UK, Europe | | | "West End Girls" by the Pet Shop Boys - the bass lines has such a fantastic sound/timbre and it is the most interesting thing about the song - the bass line is the hook!!
Also - "Life's what you make it!" - by Talk Talk.
Anything by "Leftfield" - although "Original" is my favourite.

Too many to name, I guess. | "You Are in My System" by The System is hot! I used to go nuts everytime I heard that tune! "Hawk" Wolinski is an unsung monster of a keyboardist! |
