Favorite basslines to listen to

[kenjikun]

I really like listening to MOTOWN and '70s Disco basslines. How about you?

 

[JazzyJames]

Slap with alot of octaves and hammer ons, and hammer on/pull offs. Thats always what I like to play the most. Most Marcus Miller basslines keep me happy.

 

[ProfGumby]

So many....

But as I read this, Flea's bass line in their song Aeroplane roared into my head.....

 

[Nimiety]

For me, Rush: big money or marathon always get my ears perked.

 

[Pako]

Lot of Rush, and...... Tower of Power's "What is hip" helps keep me centered.

Should this be in the "recording" section of Talkbass?

 

[JazzyJames]

I thought we were state bass line types not actual basslines.

Depends on the day of the week.
Monday: Rush
Tuesday: Iron Maiden
Wednesday: Cream and old Who
Thursday: Stanley Clark and Jaco
Friday: Stu Hamm and Billy Sheehan
Saturday: Rosco Beck from Eric Johnson and Noel Redding with Hendrix (RIP)
Sunday: Dream Theater
I need more days on the week for other good bass players and styles!

This belongs in recordings.

I like Rush, particularly stuff off of Roll the Bones, Farewell to Kings, Hold Your Fire, and S&A.

Relax, I don't think that's exactly what he meant.

 

[gkbass13]

"diamonds on the soles of her shoes" by paul simon is probabaly one of the biggest reasons i ever picked up a bass, and is still one of my favorite lines ever.

 

[Marve]

At the moment am loving Big Sir, Calibration from the Omar Rodriguez-Lopez quintet, The Who and some John Frusciante stuff.

 

[Solarmist]

Not in any particular order but:
Tool - Dream Theater - Primus - Iron Maiden - Rush

 

[notforrobots]

im down with rancids maxwell murder such a sweet bass line even has a nifty little solo in there

 

[TylerlovesAva]

A lot of Marcus Miller (particularly 'Scoop'), Pino Palladino ( most notably 'New York Minute'), disco, funk, hiphop, gospel, and rock songs played on a musicman with a pick.
