Footloose. I didn't even notice the kickin' bass line until recently.
Now you go. |

If you listen to a bass cover you can actually hear the bass line, I like it.

Really. Many years ago, I was in the car with my mom, and that song came on the radio, and I looked at her and asked, "Why are all the coolest bass lines wasted on the worst songs?"
She looked at me like I was speaking Klingon.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: New Mexico | | I have to mention one more. The theme song from "The Jeffersons" that's bassist Chuck Rainey with a swinging bassline. I even recorded it so I can learned it, that's how good it is. Also the theme for "Sanford and son" is Chuck Rainey at his finest. It's full of his trademark double stops. Listen to it again! http://popmodal.com/video/1348/THE-J...ies-Theme-Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5DnqW3F57E

Laugh if you want, but it is a cool bassline.
