| | | | good bass lines!!
Well I truly believe some of those suggestions are awsome, John Paul Jones from LedZeppelin, John Entwistle from The Who. Another of my fav's is James Jamerson from Motown; try some stuff like Cloud Nine from the temptations (Yes the Temptations) It will shock you, maybe another song from the Late 60's 70's Bernadette, Pretty sure that was the Four Tops.
James played on those and many many more. His method is a challenging one for passing notes, percussive thumps and phrasing. An Awsome player. It would never have been the "Motown Sound" without him. Even Entwistle, admired him.
Just my 2 cents..
Happy Jammin!

| | | | Bruce Thomas
Bruce Thomas, the bassist for Elvis Costello and the Attractions has some great bass lines. A few that spring to mind are This Year's Girl, Lipstick Vogue, I Hope You're Happy Now and Shabby Doll. His playing is pretty busy as Elvis's guitar parts are fairly minimal. |

And I'll second BQuinn recommendation of Bruce Thomas - "Radio, Radio"and "Pump it Up" off This Year's Model were two of the first really cool basslines I learned and I still play them today.

| | | | It's baffling to me, as a musician playing all kinds of instruments all of my life, that when I google to hopefully find a list of songs that have fun bass lines in them to figure out and jam to I'm led to forums like this. That's not the baffling part. The part I absolutely can not get is that none of you, calling yourselves bass players and naming 'fun' cover songs to play, don't mention a single word about any of Flea's riffs from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. That guy is GOD! lol
How could you not mention the Chilli Peppers and Flea in lists like this? You should all be ashamed. haha |
