You should check out some of Keanu Reeves' basslines from his band Dogstar. I saw him bust his Low E String on Letterman and it was totally sweet!!!

LOL that was a good hardy chuckle! Made me think of Canned Heat's guitar player, with a big ol STP sticker on his git if I remember correctly. I thought it was cool because I had STP stickers on the banana seat of my bike at the time.

to the original question:

a "jazzy" bass line?

"moondance" by van morrison. not really jazz, or double bass, come to think of it, which makes it perfect for this thread...

Did you hear the one where somebody did an arrangement of CUTE, but instead of drum breaks they had snippets of Buddy cursing out the band?

Found it! It's on this page, along with some other bits. I'm currently d/l-ing the "Jerry Lewis vs. Buddy Rich Drum Battle".
