I recommend having a guitard add a nice long solo if you gig this song as it is pretty short!
Ramble on by Led Zeppelin is another great bass song. One of the best IMO.

Also, the first 2 Blood Sweat and Tears albums from this time have some totally kickass bass, courtesy of Jim Fielder!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Finland | | | There are so many classic basslines from that period.. the first that comes to mind is "Something" by The Beatles, so I guess that's the one I'd nominate. Other favourites:
"Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey" - The Beatles
"Badge" - Cream
"Soul Man" - Sam & Dave (Duck Dunn)
"Funky Broadway" - Wilson Pickett (Tommy Cogbill)
"21st Century Schizoid Man" - King Crimson (Greg Lake)
"Memphis Soul Stew" - King Curtis (Jerry Jemmott)
"Time Is Tight" - Booker T & The MG's (Duck Dunn)
"Sex Machine" - James Brown (Bootsy Collins)
"Rope Ladder To The Moon" - Jack Bruce
"Pinball Wizard" - The Who (John Entwistle)
