Hi, I've been playing bass for several years, and have torn through the same dozens of tunes ad nauseum and am looking for some fresh material. I love Rush and can play just about anything from Fly By Night til Moving Pictures and several from other albums too. I need suggestions containing great, busy basslines like the ones in Xanadu, Closer to the Heart, Vital Signs, Big Money. Any bands are good. Thanks |

Not the simplistic 80's stuff, but the 70's material. Start off with Fragile and the Yes Album, then move on to the Close to the Edge album. Then, if you are feeling REALLY ambitious, grab the Relayer album and learn the Gates of Delirium, and also Sound Chaser.
That should keep you busy for a few years.
