[jsingles]

Anything by jaco or chris squire

 

[Craithius]

hmm, good call on this thread.

One Minute Silence - "Price of the King's Ticket" and "Into our Own"

Mudvayne - "Death Blooms" and "Happy"

Rush - "Animate" and "Open Secrets"

If anyone wants to hear the selections from One Minute Silence, let me know, I know they're not very well known.

 

[KwinS]

Living Color-"Broken Hearts"
Iron Maiden-"Revelations", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", and "Sign Of The Cross".

Almost any line by Jon Gagan...

 

[BluesMan845]

I was hoping this one would be missing so I could add it ! Nice.

The Lemon Song!

Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady" with Chuck Rainey on bass

 

[BluesMan845]

Pretty sure it was Hugh McDonald on the original recording

Not to derail the thread, but was that Alec J. Such, or was it Hugh McDonald? . . . .

 

[Jared Lash]

All of Jamerson's lines, but especially "I Was Made To Love Her" and "Darling Dear".

Also Nathan Watt's on Stevie Wonder's "Do I Do" and Rocco on "What Is Hip?"

I absolutely love Tony Levin's lines on Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer". Simple, but it fits the song perfectly and oh man that tone.

I liked a lot of Jeff Ament's lines, especially off the first Pearl Jam album.

Lastly, I really like Colin Greenwood's work on the new Radiohead album, especially on "Jigsaw Falls Into Place".

 

[MrHarrison]

I liked a lot of Jeff Ament's lines, especially off the first Pearl Jam album.

And all on fretless too...

 

[Flabby1]

pretty much anything by Korn, Blink 182, Greenday and limp bizkit

 

[GlassJaw]

Wow, great thread. I'm sure I have a ton more but here's a few off the top of my head:

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" by Stevie (and pretty much everything else on Hitsville USA Vol 1).

"Soul to Squeeze" RHCP

"Everyday I Write the Book", "Alison", etc - Elvis Costello & the Attractions

"So Lonely" - The Police (and a ton more)

"YYZ" - Rush

"Moving Pictures" - The Cribs - just a great pop-bass line

 

[bassmancai]

Anything by jaco

+1 trillion.

 

[Chili]

theres too many to name off the to of my head, but heres a few that comes to mind:

I want you - The Brothers Johnson, i love the bass line on this song, i love this song lol, its a shame the winners album isnt available on CD, i would buy it in a heart beat. also loads more basslines by louis johnson.

Pretty little ditty - Red hot chili peppers, Love the bass in this instrumental, especially the middle part, also soul to squeeze, and more from Flea.

The bass line from i want your love by chic, and the break in Le freak, simply awsome, again theres alot more from bernard and alot more from people i havnt mentioned, but theres too many to go through.

 

[PikeoftheLake]

Spacehog - In the Meantime

No matter how hard I try I still can't mimic his sound.....

 

[Ron Plichta]

Cream - "Badge"

 

[dvh]

All of Jamerson's lines, but especially "I Was Made To Love Her" and "Darling Dear".

+1, oh to play with that kind of easy fluidity.
