A Bassline That Never Fails You

[RickyWoo]

So RickyWoo, what *exactly* did you mean by "never lets you down"?

I meant this?

 

[RickyWoo]

How would a bassline "let me down" per se?

So RickyWoo, what *exactly* did you mean by "never lets you down"?

Well, in all honesty, I believe you both know exactly what was meant and you are choosing to use semantics. It's a figure of speech. What's your favorite bass line that you keep coming back to? One that never grows tiresome. That clear enough? If you have one, post it like the others who have posted some classic lines and lines that are completely new to me and possibly others who like to expand their horizons. You might here something new and great yourselves!

No, no semantics arguments... just wondering. I posted one of my favorites myself already. "Never grows tiresome" is a pretty good explanation. Thanks!

Lets get back to it... I've listened to this track and played this line countless times and it's always a fun one!

This song is so joyous, and the great bass gets more and more active and funky toward the end. The way he builds his lines and the variation is wonderful. I should figure out who played bass on it.

My keyboard player got me hip to this track some years ago. It's a great soundcheck line.

Finally I know where De La Soul got their bass groove from. Thanks.



Some of "my" basslines.





And the king.

Tons of amazing ones mentioned. I just put my bass down. Felt like practicing and of course went too long. At 51 you'd think I'd learn heh, anyway this was in my practice set. Always gets me there as a listener and a player.
