Man,I wish I wrote that bassline!

Anyone that sounds nice!

 

I'm with George.

 

Jah Wobble (Primal Scream) - Higher Than The Sun (A Dub Symphony in Three Parts)

Hell, anything by heem...

 

Toad's Place - Jeff Lorber Fusion
Rampage - Marcus Miller

Peace,

James

 

Root by Deftones.......is so......basic!!

 

Pink Floyd - "Money"
Led Zeppelin - "The Lemon Song", "Ramble On", "What is and What Should Never Be", "Black Dog" and many more.
Rush - "YYZ", "Red Barchetta", "Limelight" and many more.
Cream - "Sunshine of Your Love"
Thin Lizzy - "The Cowboy Song"
Anything Jaco ever played.

 

Two that spring to mind are both Flea bass lines!!! Californication - 'cos there's just so much space in it, ain't overly complicated but sounds great, and also the bass line for the Alanis Morrisette song - You Oughta Know.

I'm also quite partial to Creeping Death by Metallica.
And also Phantom of the Opera by Iron Maiden.

I think all of the above would rate in my great basslines of all time list, but yes, I wish I'd written them too!

 

"Are You In" by Incubus
"Cosmic Girl" and "High Times" by Jamiroquai
"Maxwell Murder" by Rancid
"Plush" by Stone Temple Pilots

just to name a few

 

My favorite bass line at moment is from a Nickelback song called Never Again. Its not that hard but it sure is sweet. I recommend it for downloading.
If you do download it, tell me what you think.

 

I agree
