Best Bass Tab Ever!!

[BigOkie]

Lots of Steely Dan tunes rate very high for me. In no particular order: Rikki Don't Lose That Number, Kid Charlemagne, Glamour Profession, Gaucho. I have a fondness for Cake's Hem of Your Garment.

 

[NOT]

Coma - Guns N Roses

hi...God day to all bass guitarist....please teach me the bass tab of "AWAY" by BOLSHOI...thanks in advance..=)

Perhaps you want to post this in its own thread, asking for the tab ? Are you asking for the tab itself, or tips on how to play it ? Have you made a search with Google ?

 

[docwein]

or "Louie, Louie." Only kidding. My favorite Beatle tab is "Penny Lane."

 

[sub006]

Nobody has mentioned my two favorites:

Runner-up: The simple, elegant repeating riff that anchors Ben E. King's "Stand By Me".

Number One: The busy "lead bass" break on The Who's "My Generation".

Crash and Burn, Mars Cowling bassist on Pat Travers Band's Crash and Burn album. This is where grooving truly meets rocking. Its so greasy its sick.

Jamerson's bass line on Stevie Wonder's 'I was Made to Lover Her' is a thing of beauty.

Right now, the beginning of Day Tripper by The Beatles.

I'd say that while Paul plays a great bass even through today, his bass playing from Rubber Soul right through Abbey Road gave us many of the best bass lines I've ever heard

 

[sirhc1956]

+1! Awesome bassline! Here are a couple more:

"Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)" by Marvin Gaye - Jamerson at his best!

If you want something simple and really fun to jack around with, strap into "Brown Eyed Girl"

"Inner City Blues" is great, but it's Bob Babbit (at his best), not Jamerson.

I Come Tumblin'
Let's Stop The War
In Need
Winter and My Soul
Creepin'
I could go on and on. I believe Mel is so under rated.

I'm about to drop a ton of fun ones.

Buncha Beatles ones-McCartney was ridiculous.
"Rain" (my fav), "Oh! Darling", "With A Little Help From My Friends", "Wait", "Nowhere Man", "Lovely Rita", "I Saw Her Standing There", "Come Together", "Something", "You Never Give Me Your Money", "Taxman", "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", "Hey Bulldog",
"Paperback Writer" and also "Drive My Car" and "Day Tripper", but those just echo the guitar.

"Sweet Child O' Mine"-Guns N' Roses
"Hysteria"-Muse (rated #1 bassline by NME, nbd)
"Resistance", "New Born" & "Invincible"-Muse
"Limelight"-Rush
"Can't Stop"-RHCP
"Longview", "Welcome to Paradise" & Sassafrass Roots"-Green Day

Those are all great but I'd say the greatest is "Rain" because it was a turning point for the Beatles, bass guitar and music in general.

Easy, the bass line under the verse of Ramble On.

Edit: Led Zeppelin

agree!

Norman Watt-Roy of Ian Dury and the Blockheads delivered some fantastic stuff:
Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick (takes practice if you're just starting, but great for building speed!),
I Want To Be Straight,
Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.

Bruce Foxton also created some very tasty stuff with The Jam -
Start,
Strange Town,
Down In The Tube Station At Midnight,
Eaton Rifles.
(Very difficult to find these transcribed accurately though, I haven't had any luck.....)

Some other random bass-tasty songs that I just loooove to dig into that you might also appreciate....

Montrose - Paper Money, Rock Candy, I Got The Fire

Duran Duran - Rio (changed my opinion of the band completely when I heard the bass on this), Girls On Film

The Specials - Too Much Too Young

Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil

James Gang - Funk 49

The Meters - Cissy Strut (actually just about anything by The Meters is cool to jam to if you're a beginner - teaches you how to brew your own funk)

Curtis Mayfield - Pusherman

Doobie Brothers - China Grove

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes

AC/DC - Inject The Venom, Flick Of The Switch

"Hysteria"-Muse (rated #1 bassline by NME, nbd)

I`m not trying to hijack the thread...
I read about Hysteria bass line by Muse being called by NME the base line of all times....

And honestly I lost any interest in NME (never had a lot) after that.

sure Hysteria bass line is nice, fun, interesting and good.... but calling it THE BASS LINE OF ALL TIMEs is a bit of a slap in a face to bass lines (and bands) like:
Pink Floyd - another brick in the wall or money
Queen - another one bites the dust or under pressure
Beatles - come together for instance

I could keep calling others...but really ...muse having this title is a bit too much for me
And yes I admit that base line itself is great....I just think that many people will agree with me saying that it IS NOT THE BEST BASS LINE OF ALL TIMES.

PS. that was a bit off topic...I apologize for that but every time I hear about it something boils inside of me.

Going back to the subject:
I`m in Jamiroquai phase now, so anything by him, especially:

Starchild, Runaway, Tallulah (I requested a music sheet or tab to this one few hours ago)

 

[Stranger Danger]

I really like the bass solo at the begining of "Blotter" by Stone Sour.
I also like the bass part in the song "Snowblind" by System of a Down.

You should check out these songs.

Say brah, Snowblind aint by System of a Down.
