cool easy bass lines

[vindy500]

ya know bass lines which sound real cool so i can impress everyone without trying hard?

 

[terp]

some Jack Johnson bass lines sound cool but I don't think it would impress to many people, Primus have some songs that sound extreamly difficult but are pretty easy I can't think of any right now other then Wynona's Big Brown Beaver.

Moon over Bourbon Street - Sting
Scotch & Soda - Kingston Trio

I'll help you out...but what style are you looking for?

here's a few to start:

"What you're doin - Rush", really easy main rif...easy verses...there is a gtr/bass riff that comes in after the choruses...sounds very tricky, but it's really kinda easy (I can help you here)

"Spirit of Radio - Rush"...Main riff is very cool, and remarkably easy for beginners

once you post a style you (and your friends) are into, I'll post more.

Greenday has some cool / easy riffs

Money - Pink Floyd
7/8 time and everyone has heard it.

the beggining solo for "corporate trash" by choking victim
"i am the owl" by dead kennedys
"viva las vegas" by dead kennedys
"no face" by the suicide machines
"money" by pink floyd
"gay rude boys unite" by leftover crack
"psycho" by lower class brats
"throw a bomb" by mustard plug
"feel good inc" by gorrillaz (i hate the song and the band, but the bass is cool in that song)

i just started playing two weeks ago, so these are pretty easy since i can play them.

No More Tears by Ozzie.

Drop tune to E flat. It's a total no brainer that rocks.

Leftover crack - crack city rockers
Dead kennedys - holiday in cambodia
Dead kennedys - pull my strings
Choking Victim - Money

There are lots of Bootsy Collins grooves that are pretty easy and very cool:
Give Up the Funk
Funky Stuff
The Name is Bootsy

And, of course, 'Another One Bites the Dust' by Queen. A little cliche, but what the heck.

Playing the guitar part of Marilyn Mansons version of Sweet Dreams is pretty sweet and easy, and everyone knows what it is. It sounds awesome on the bass.
