Looking for bassline progression/scale degree listing

[dominicw78]

I'm looking for a in depth list/chart of bass lines, progressions, etc listed by scale degrees in all genres.

Does anyone know where I could find such a thing? A list of common bass line archetypes if you will.

Wow. No one has answered IMHO because to answer that would involve several chapters of a large book.

If you are still interested see if you could narrow down what you want - just a little.

A. Bass lines- which ones! You wanna know that the intro to "Badge" is 1, b3, 5, b3, 5? And that's just the intro, let alone "in depth".

B. Progressions- well that's the same thing. Do you already know a crap-load of different blues forms? Just putting out basic blues forms is going to be huge list, let alone common song forms, and we've not gone into uncommon songs.

This is like asking for the history of music in one comprehensive post. Try giving us some direction and narrowing your scope to something useful. And I do mean that in a constructive, and not flippant manner.

"The versatile bassist" book is a small smattering of what you are actually looking for. Goes though and give you like 3 or 4 examples of bass lines from each major genre. Really there are so many possibilities that your best bet is just looking up chord charts and learning a whole lot of songs. Personally I got to point where I knew my next step as a musician had to be learning a bunch of progressions which meant learning a bunch of songs, so I joined cover band and got paid for it.
