Sign in to disble this ad
The title may be misleading but I dont have an opinion on the subject. Instead I'm looking for a list of popular covers that every gigging bassist should know. Post some and Ill try to make a nice collective list.

| | | | Arists would help too if you guys dont mind, Im only 16 and dont really know all of the "classics" by name. I figured it'd be a good idea to start early and learn some songs that will come in handy later. |
