I was wondering if anyone knew any good slow basslines that have a lot of emotion in them?
Such things as Bob Seger/Metallica - turn the page, or nothing else matters, again by metallica?
I'm new to posting here although I try and read what i can when i visit, so i'm not sure if this is the right place, but it looked like the most likely board 
Many thanks in advance

Simple bluesy bass line. Sad sounding song all together though.

"Something" by the Beatles alway struck me as a sad line during the verses... same with "I Want You (She So Heavy)". They have a sense of longing to me |

| | | | Simple Man by Lynard Skynard is very melodic and "sad" sounding. Excellent bass line. |

| | | | Nutshell from Alice in Chains is as sad as you can get indeed.
Also the studio version of pearl jam's Betterman has a little intro with a super simple bass line, but strangely powerful and solemn. Basically G D D, A C C

It sounds lame discussing it, but just download the tune and give it a listen. WICKED sad, and LOTS of emotion in just that one lil' old note.
