Bass lines that can be memorized

[whiterelic]

Hi!

I am looking for songs that easily can be memorized. The songs doesn't have to be easy to play, just easy to remember. Please no Red hot chili peppers and Green Day

Thanks

So you're looking for catchy memorable bass lines?

If so some that come to my head are:

Another One Bites the Dust - Queen
Money - Pink Floyd

The Barney Miller Theme song

The riff in Stevie Wonder's Sir Duke

 

[coffin blurt]

Ace of Spades by good 'ol Lemmy

 

[Skitch it!]

If You Want Me to Stay by Sly and the Family Stone, not difficult but slinky, cool line.

"Come Together" by the Beatles is pretty memorable.

This is also a pretty infectious bass line played by Me'Shell Ndegeocello:

Oh here's another one...

Muse - Hysteria:

That bass line defines the whole song.

 

[phillipkregg]

Damn, thought of another one...

The Staple Singers - I'll Take you There:

 

[James_E]

Play that Funky Music
Plush

ummm... Just about any bass line can be memorized with enough practice, including RHCP. "Can't Stop" is a fun line and not too hard once you get the hang of it. I'm partial to the first part of Starship Trooper (Life Seeker) and Astral Traveller by Yes. Astral Traveller sounds great but it's actually quite simple, just a series of minor pentatonic scales apart from the instrumental part in the middle.

Or for fun party stuff, how about Love Shack or Low Rider?

Damn, thought of another one...

The Staple Singers - I'll Take you There:

Since you said that one i'll throw an equally good oldie that is similar in the way its played : Express yourself!

The bass part to "Living in the past" by Tull is pretty easy to remember. It's very "composed" like most of Tull's bass lines, so once you learn it it sticks with you pretty well.

Jamiroquai "runaway" sticks in my head.

If you can hum a tune, you can memorize the bass line. Take the time to learn the song without the bass in hand, then learn the bass line. The rest should fall into place.

If You Want Me to Stay by Sly and the Family Stone, not difficult but slinky, cool line.

+1 For Sly

Brick House by the Commodores - This song is ALL bass and anyone who's ever heard it can sing the bass part.
