what a bassline. not the hardest, not the funkiest, not the fastest, but I've had it stuck in my head for the last year or so.

Rankin Full Stop
Whine and Grind
They were full of great bass lines.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Naples, FL | | | Wow, surprised at the number of Catch 22 fans. I'd have to say my favorite would be 1234, 1234 by Catch 22. Great song, great bassline. Say Ten by Reel Big Fish is really cool also. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: South Florida | | | wow mostly all newer punk/ska selections in this thread.
I don't know if i can seriously pick one, i love ska and all offshoots of ska so much its alll good. but if i had to pick one it might be
Ernest ranglins version of King tubby meets the rockers (done in a ska-jazz style).
other notables : the specials - gangster, the slackers - almost all of marcus's basslines, but mainly rider, and international war criminal.
Can't forget the skatalites either! the wailers simmer down is a great ska line too!! |

| | a bongo cured my gas. | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: masury, OH | | | i always enjoyed skankin' pickle bass lines. 'gas in my car' springs to mind. that whole green album was pretty good, actually. i used to enjoy some ska, back in the mid to late 90's. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
