Current fav bass line

[Junior Shark]

Lately, it's been the incomparable Pump it Up, by Elvis Costello and the Attractions.

 

[drunkenDAYlewis]

My fav bassist.

 

[A.K.]

"Summer Nights" by VH. Great playing by Michael Anthony . . . or Eddie Van Halen.

 

[Stranger Danger]

Always and forever

THE CISSY STRUT

 

[Woolber]

That's a good one. Pino's rad.

For the past two days, my current favorite has been Hyperactive by Robert Palmer. Huge fan of Bernard, but I'm not really a fan of Chic, so this really hits the spot! Riptide is gnarly!

Speaking of Htperactive, I've always been a big fan of Thomas Dolby's Hyperactive. Fun to play.

 

[N.F.A.]

Mayor of Simpleton XTC
Radio Radio by Elvis Costello
Either one

 

[N.F.A.]

Honorable mention to Only Living Boy in New York from Simon and Garfunkel. Joe Osborne sweetness.

 

[SasquatchDude]

The James Gang, Funk #49.

Dale Peters really knows how make it happen there.

 

[4StringAxe]

Black Sabbath - Children of the sea, toss up with Lady Evil

 

[thunesBARROW]

Lee Sklar on "Stratus", or maybe Ralphe Armstrong on "Mirage". I've been listening to the Spotify's Fusion Fest playlist non stop lately!

 

[A.K.]

Black Sabbath - Children of the sea, toss up with Lady Evil

"Children of the Sea" is one of my favorite basslines to play. A truly epic part from Geezer.

 

[sneakyblueberry]

Probably the noobiest thing I could say but I've been learning 'Portrait of Tracy'. Doing okay for a guitarist I suppose.

 

[buldog5151bass]

I Want You Back

 

[Stranger Danger]

The James Gang, Funk #49.

Dale Peters really knows how make it happen there.

My favorite bass tone.

 

[fourstringdrums]

Lately, it's been the incomparable Pump it Up, by Elvis Costello and the Attractions.

I will see that line and raise you two more of Bruce Thomas' lesser known lines that are my favorite lately:

"The Loved Ones"



"Walking on Thin Ice"

 

[RobBottom69]

I did an audition for a classic rock band about a month ago and had to learn 4 tunes in 3 days or so. While I didn't get the slot, it was good to learn the songs on the fly and just show up and do it.

Anyway, one of the tunes was I Wish by Stevie Wonder. I worked like heck to get that down. Another few days and I had it nailed. I use it to warm up and get the fingers loose when it's rehearsal time with my classic rock band. Now if I can just get them to do it

 

[telecopy]

That hit the spot!

Davo

Yeah!

Recently learned the bass line to Sweet Jane (Mott version). It is a really sweet bass part! Check it out.

 

[Aqualung60]

"Finding my way" by Rush.

 

[tuci77]

Fire-Jimi Hendrix
