Name a great bass line

[jpgray]

The one in Marvin Gaye's Inner City Blues is one of my all-time favorites.

[Richardo]

1. McCartney in "Hey Bulldog"

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[FrankBooth]

20. Another great Paul Bass line ...

... "Don't Let me Down." My favorite to play!

[6000eliot]

44. Also, Paul's bass line

on The Beatles'"The Word" is wicked bad.

[jpgray]

46. I love the guitar sound on that track (nt)

[southpaw]

2. Bernard Edwards line from 'Good Times'

Which was paraphrased by John Deacon for 'Another One Bites The Dust'

[Atlas Mugged]

3. 'Live With Me' - Stones

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. Stren is pretty good.

I've landed some nice bass with it.

[jpgray]

5. At least no one posted "It's a good thing you're large-mouthed, suga"

:D

[CBGLuthier]

6. Entwhistle on about everything

But particularly, Can You See the Real Me, Won't Get Fooled Again, and My Generation.

Any Who fans who have the Kids are Alright DVD need to check out the extra that allows you to listen to and watch Entwhistle playing his parts on Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Reilly. It was just amazing what all that man was doing and never breakinga sweat.

[Sporadicus]

13. I'd Like to Add...

his bass line from 'The Real Me' on 'Quadrophenia' - also happens to be one of my all-time favorite Who tracks.

On edit: I'm an idiot...that was the first one you listed! :silly:

[johnnie]

24. I was going to mention

The Ox-cam. That is amazing.

[Radical Activist]

27. No doubt

The Who may have had the greatest rythm section in Rock.

[Cocoa]

32. the real me

:thumbsup:

[givemebackmycountry]

7. Marcus Miller w/ Miles Davis beat that.

[elperromagico]

8. Most of the Motown stuff,

whether you think James Jamerson played it or Carol Kaye played it (I lean toward Jamerson), those lines are brilliant, melodic basslines.

[HughBeaumont]

40. Particularly "Bernadette" and "I was Made To Love Her"

Both Jamerson classics. That guy was otherworldly.

[fob]

9. Du-dun-dun Dun-du-do, Da-Du-dun-dun-dun-da-du Du-da-du

Give it to me Baby!
Give it to me,
what'd I say
Give it to me,
what'd I say
Give it to me,
what'd I say
Give it to me
Right away!

It's really good for largemouth bass.

I have always thought that the bass line to "Work For Love" was genius.
