songs with surprisingly good bass lines

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.

My post was of course ironic. As for Doug, he has or used to have an account on TB and has written (somewhere) on the site about the heavy rehearsal period with the three instrument-playing Doors in the run up to the recording of "Strange Days."

I figured y'all could play mad libs.

Son of Wobble suggests we instead play:

No Reply At All - Genesis.

KILLER bass line. I love playing the chorus.
Excellent call. Actually found myself humming that tune the other day, which is pretty amazing, considering the song is 35+ years old already. Then I had a good laugh recalling the video for Phil Collins' "Sussudio" featuring the esteemed Lee Sklar, because I'm fairly certain there's no actual electric bass guitar on the song.

Robert DeLeo is the master of good bass lines!






Not a huge STP fan but I think DeLeo is truly one of the greatest rock bassist of all time. Part John Paul Jones, part James Jamerson and a whole lot of awesome.

Here's one that I've heard a million times but only recently realized how cool the bassline and bass tone were.
