Some cool songs with lead bass

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of some cool tunes that use a technique called "lead bass"?

Lead bass is a technique that stems back to the 1960's, and has been popularized by Peter Hook. If it weren't for him, I'd probably be one of those bassists that doesn't cut through in the mix.

Since then, I've heard some other cool bassists who use the technique, including Les Claypool, Cliff Burton and Justin Chancellor.

So, does anyone know of any cool songs that use lead bass? If you're unsure of whether you're hearing a high-pitched bass guitar, or a normal guitar, then please inform me.
