Dirty, Filthy, Rock and Roll Bass

[OPBASSMAN1994]

Malignant Narcissism by Rush. Sick funky and rocking line. I love that song!

 

[ster]

Great thread.
For me, Stranglehold by Ted Nugent. Its long but bad ass.
Also Buckcherry's Lit up, AC/DC's TNT and Deep Purple's Knocking at You Back Door.

My Generation.

[DanNowhere]

In and Out of Grace - Mudhoney

 

[Marty Forrer]

The nastiest, dirtiest bass I've ever heard (and a bitching line) is "Nice and Sleazy" by Jean-Jacques Burnel and the Stranglers (studio version.)

 

[hip63]

Just about ANY Lemmy/Motorhead tune you can think of... (not much dirtier or filthier than that!)

'nuff said!

[Joe Gress]

Clean My Wounds by Corrosion of Conformity.

 

[NorthTexasBass]

This song rules it for me as well.. Thin Lizzy - Emerald



Phil Lynott must suck though since he uses a pick.

I want so badly to cover this song, but Mastodon already does on a regular basis and probably way better than my band ever could.

Always dug Phil's black bass with the mirrored pickguard. A great look.

Lots of greatness in this thread, I need to set aside some time tonight to check out all the links. I'm familiar with most of it, and most of the stuff that's new to me sounds great so far.

Keep 'em coming!

Another one:

Humble Pie - Four Day Creep

 

[TC2112]

Humble Pie - 30 Days in the hole
Grand Funk - American Band

 

[thump_dumpster]

it isnt classic, but sounds it, lol, but Wolfmother - "Woman"

 

[flyingfinbar]

Definitely Meatplow by STP.

The first song I played with my new p bass!



Listen to that raunchy live tone!

 

[Muddslide]

Blindness by The Fall, 3 note headsplosion

In and Out of Grace - Mudhoney

These are men of taste!

The Fall is one of my favorite bands, though I miss Steven Hanley.

That bass line to "Blindness" is such a killer. There's a Peel Session version of that song that is the best version I've heard, though I think it might have been called "Blind Man" at the time it was laid down.

 

[ERIC31]

Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue.

Simple, heavy groove....one of my favorites to play. =)

 

[Richbass101]

I'd like to add another one - The Real Me ( The Who ) - its just a amazing, a must to know...

 

[stratovani]

For me it's:

Baba O'reilly -

 

[MrGotBass]

Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue.

Simple, heavy groove....one of my favorites to play. =)

I was just about to post that!

Motley Crue could hardly be considered musical geniuses, but they NAILED the dirty, filthy feel on that song. You can actually hear the sleaze.

 

[Lowbrow]

Cheap Trick 'Hot Love.' Grinding 'n growling Tom Petersson mixes virtuosity with ham-fisted slam:

Clash 'Janie Jones.' Not great in the tone department, but dig that cool descending bass riff! The first Clash tune I ever heard.
