Favorite Bass line?

[Thunderbird91]

So what is your favorite or some of your favorite bass line/riffs/grooves? I have way to many to mention but i am listening to "yyz" by Rush and Geddy has a great bass line on that song. Sorry if their is another thread like this....

This is in the wrong forum, this is the basses forum for 'basses' you might want to try re-posting it in the 'Recordings' forum, or wait for a mod to move it..

this is in the wrong forum... but I'm gonna answer it anyways

I would have to say either Shyboy by David Lee Roth, Flow My Tears by Stu Hamm, or anything by Victor Wooten. both are very great riffs and also very challenging.

those work for a 4 string but get above that & you can't beat any Primus or anything by Jean Baudin

Very hard/impossible for me to even pick top 5, too many out there.

Definetely the bassline to Is This It? - The Strokes

This bassline introduced me to the bass guitar.

[Daffy Funk]

The opening solo for IIB.S. on Mingusx5 by Charles Mingus.

I might have to go with the bassline from the verse of Layla. Its so elegant.

[Thunderbird91]

I like them all..

[Kronos]

alright...I'm going to sound cliche, but forgive me. I've just started listening to Jaco, and I'd have to say my favorite bassline would have to be Portrait of Tracy...man, that song is beautiful...

Pink Floyd's "Money" - way back when I first learned that, it opened my eyes (and ears)!

some of my tops are

"Blowin Cool" by Swervedriver
"Crystal" by Curve

I'm not sure if I agree with the selections or the order, but there's a website that has the "100 Greatest" listed. It's pretty cool-- the list does capture the bulk of great bass lines for rock anyway.

Here's a link:

My fave is the one by Scottie Clark and the Clueless Five for the song; 'I may not know where to correctly post threads but I'll always love you'...

[Oliver]

for me its easy, Livin' on a Prayer - bon Jovi.

that bassline IS the song

[Larry99]

Come On Come Over - Jaco

Right now I'm waffling between 5:15 and The Real Me.

Awesome. I get to be the first to post that my favorite bassline is the song "Kiss" by Prince.
