Bass-off

Sign in to disble this ad
Soon i'm going to be trying to show up a friend in an old fashioned bass-off. Only thing is that I need some ideas for bass lines to play and to link together, any songs you know of with good bass lines in it? No hard stuff like Wooten either!

Find some concert footage of Gene Simmons' "bass solos."

Any other suggestions on things i could play? I think I am going to do some of the intro from Sabbath's N.I.B. and maybe some Californication

I'm sorry man, don't do that- I was kidding. Gene Simmons' "bass solo" is hitting the E string and he spits out blood. Really, I don't think that's what you're looking for- I was just being a smartass.
