Here's Davin Terrizzi's bass cover of one of my favorite 90s rap tune.

 

[Badwater]

Here's one from the great Albert King

The Record Company has a great bass line in this song.

 

[Afc70]

Was it him, or Chris Chaney?

It was Flea, he also played on "Bust a Move" by young Mc if my memory serves me.

KISS had some decent lines in their Disco era:

 

[crusie]

when I first heard waterfalls I thought it had a good groove - but could never put my finger on why. Relistened it after I started playing bass. Awesome bassline in this one.

[Son of Wobble]

I find the bass line for "You're Lost, Little Girl" by The Doors to be surprisingly good considering the band had no bassist.

 

[Bunk McNulty]

This one kills me. Michael Rhodes, of course. On an album he says was one of his best, that hardly anybody heard. Wait for the wah...

 

[Spidey2112]

I'm primarily a hired gun, so I get some interesting set lists from time to time that force me to go back to the original recordings to make my own charts. A couple of tunes that I've played in the past year that fit this criteria:

- "Midnight at the Oasis" – Maria Muldaur (1974)
- "Help Me" – Joni Mitchell (1974)
- "December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)" – The Four Seasons (1975)
- "You're The One That I Want" – Grease Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1978)

Garp, I second you're selection for "You're The One That I Want", and I raise you, "Rio", by Duran Duran...

 

[Spidey2112]

Some people just never get it.

Ja... yes, I agree.

Okay. I'll see your "Rio" and raise you "Rock and Roll, Hootchie Koo" by Rick Derringer (1973).

No Reply At All - Genesis.

KILLER bass line. I love playing the chorus.

I find the bass line for "You're Lost, Little Girl" by The Doors to be surprisingly good considering the band had no bassist.

The Doors did use bassists in the studio. Doug Lubahn and Harvey Brooks were used most. "You're Lost, Little Girl" sounds like Doug Lubahn to me but I could be wrong.

Some tasty Joe Osborn here:

Great bass lines, all!

Duran Duran was about more than hair gel. Some $%-&%$#, but some decent pop.

 

[Killed_by_Death]

Some $%-&%$#,

This part literally means nothing w/o more words for context.
