Sign in to disble this ad
Hiho all,
I'm in some kind of schoolband that plays a few covers every year. Now I'm thinking of purposing a song to cover with a cool bass solo in it, but I don't know many songs with cool bass solo's, so I thought I'd ask here. So far the coolest bass solo I found is the one in Coffee Shop from the RHCP. Does anyone know something I should listen to before going for that song?
Thanks,
Nanne

| | | | Well, if you like the Chili Peppers you could go for 'Aeroplane'. It has some great slap parts, and a solo. Give it a listen.

This song has several short, tasty but very cool fills in it, and has the bass almost soloing above the noise and frenzy of the end. Might be worth trying =) |

"Brian Wilson" - Barenaked Ladies - fun and challenging bass solo covers the last minute of the song.

If you like fast up-tempo kinda stuff check out Anthrax's Got the Time. No, its not a thrash metal tune, its more punk. Its easy to play with a bass intro and the bass solo in it kicks arse! IMO ofcourse!  |

Cool songs (IMO) with bass solos a beginner can actually play.

Now about the solo's: I like that Anthrax song, it's my style, though other styles are welcome too; I like alot of music 
The one from Lenny Kravitz: did you happen to mean 'are you gonna go my way'? Because I can't really find a song called 'are you gonna be my girl' by him I do like the song though, but I think the bass solo is a bit boring...
That Shuba-da-du Ma-ma-song... I have some trouble finding it never heard of it either. What kind of song is it?
Same question for those last two: Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - "My Bag" and The Housemartins - "We're not deep": what kind kind of songs are they?
Still looking for those Led Zeppelin songs, but I'm quite sure I'll find them, I know someone who's a pretty big fan of them
EDIT: after listening a few times, I think coffee shop is still the best it's just a very good song

Lloyd Cole's now a Solo artist and The Housemartins became The Beautiful South, while the bassist Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim went on to found Beats International.

Thanks for the quick response |
