Mr. Musicface Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Wow, I just realized nobody (myself included) mentioned The Who! Apparently Jaimoe isn't online at the moment... Entwhistle's a classic, there are dozens of great ones but "The Real Me" and obviously "My Generation" jump immediately to mind. - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I can't believe I forgot this one the first time around! Probably my first real "experience" with bass. Tripping balls in my basement with my brother in high school and we must have listened to But Anyway by Blues Traveler 50 times or more with the bass cranked and everything else at a minimum.

hamilton Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 How about Lou Reed's "Take A Walk On The Wild Side"?!? I think Herbie Flowers (session player extraordinaire) laid down the fat four strings on that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are longer titles than that one as well... hmmm, another thread perhaps? ...before it becomes another thread and I forget, I think my favourite long title has to be Alice Donut's "The Son of A Disgruntled Ex-Postal Worker Reflects On His Life While Getting Stoned In The Parking Lot of a Winn Dixie Listening To Metallica" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first bass line that jumped into my head when I saw the post title was 'Happy Jack'. That's one of the first licks I ever learned. peace w/deep bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popper gets and deserves a lot of credit, but as a harmonica player I'll be the first to admit that a lot of what made those first couple BT albums really rock was Bobby Sheehan's bass playing as much as the harp or anything else.

peipunk Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 quote:Originally posted by ahess6488: I'll second this as a killer bass line: Peg - Steely Dan and add that Jaco Pastorius in his Weather Report/Joe Zawinul years was unrivaled in melodic bass lines...perhaps not a bootsy but a really smart and nerdy bootsy? I have to jump in (and revive this thread-sorry I'm slow) and enthusiastically agree with these sweet picks. Bernard Purdie/Chuck Rainey and Jaco/Peter Erskine are probably my two alltime favourite rhythm sections. Although I may like the Kid Charlamagne bassline a little bit better than Peg. Shit, Tom Barney does a sweet Josie on Alive in America thats hard to ignore, too. And the melodic Jaco stuff, I always rave about the Black Market opening track of 8:30, thats the sweetest major key vamp ever....me likey.
