Every Bass player needs a Theme Song

[TerribleTim68]

Wow, this is a tough one. It's for sure one of these two -

 

[Moford]

The hook lick is a great groove. I use it when we have to play Old Time R&R. Try it, you'll like it.

 

[BOOG]

After thinking and sleeping on it...

 

[Troutman]

I'll go with the first thing that popped into my head:



Janik Top on bass - 18 minutes should be ok for a theme song, right?

 

[funkinbottom]

 

[Pings Bass]

and Chuck Rainey.

Lou Donaldson?

I don't know who played the bass, but it sounds like two distinct tracks, one main, and one for fills. Not sure if Quincy added the fills later or what. He said he wrote in in 20 minutes recorded it in another 20 minutes with four musicians. Link Removed

 

[75Ric]

 

[TNCreature]

 

[Martelino]

If only one is allowed...

 

[Erik Turkman]

This one came to mind first for me.

If not that, then this one:

 

[Phaidrus]

Cedric Im Brooks, Father Forgive (same Riddim as in Declaration of Rights by the Abyssinians).

 

[Old_Noob]

Hello fellow ska fan! Pick it up!

 

[Old_Noob]

Not very original,.....but

 

[220_Hz]

Pipeline, the version SRV and Dick Dale played for the surf spoof Back to the Beach. It's one of the first bass lines I learned for surf, and it's double-time compared to every other bass line I've heard for this tune.

This version, to quote Dick Dale, is the most bitchin' version ever cut!!

Love it!
