    This is a thread where you can talk about the greatest basslines of all time,or basslines you wish YOU made up.Mine are probably...

    Megadeth-Peace Sells
    AFI-The nephilim

    These basslines are both easy but just have that sound that seperates them from the others(well to me atleast).

    What are yours?

    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!

    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.
