  • Cool bass lines

    Man, this section is slow moving. Let's get it a little attention. I was out working in the garage the other day, and heard some cool bass lines in some songs, so I thought I'd list a couple of my favorites, and then some other people could post some, and we could get this section of the board moving, again. Here they are:

    Alice Cooper, Schools out
    A Perfect Circle, Judith
    Iron Maiden, The Trooper

    Go ahead, don't be shy, list a couple.

                    Peabud - yer right, thanks for catching that - after a while the Black Sabbath catalog kinda runs together [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
                    It does lead into NIB but it's a separately named track, which is actually a segue from Behind The Wall Of Sleep into NIB.

                          o Steppinwolf - Born to be Wild
                          o Testament - Deciples of the Watch (bass solo!! o Steve DeGiorgio's version sounds better imo)
                          o Dreadnaught - Any of their songs *check em out! http://www.dreadnaughtrock.com *
                          o Black Sabbath - N.I.B.
                          o Annnnnnnnnnnd *thinks* Metallica - Seek and Destroy, or Blitzkrieg (not an awesome one, but it just sounds good, and is fun to play)

                          And there's a buncha others, but i can't think of them right now, because the TV's on, and i don't wana turn it off.

                              ok let's face it, the best bass lines are on Motown records... either played by James Jamerson (like Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" ) or Bob Babbitt (like The Temptations "Ball Of Confusion") most influental electric bass playing ever... they influenced everyone
