Guest treader. Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 So, what is everybody's favourite bassline!?My personal three favourites right now are (off the top of my head):Nightshift - The CommodoresCome On, Come Over - Jaco PastoriusTired of Sex - Weezer (not fancy by any means, just cool)These will probably be updated/changed once I actually sit and think about it.

WoodyRATM Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 1. Know your enemy - RATM2. Tom Sawyer - Rush (simple yet effective)3. Bullet in the head - RATM (the part near the end...the E part)4. Blood to Bleed - Rise Against.I really seem like bands with "R's" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 More wacky basslines than you can shake a stick at:Ron Cocker <roncocker>Start with 'Belt & The Dead' and 'Rythym Futur' and 'Cuntry Music' and then take it from there.

Lemonade Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 While I'm at it:YouTube - ronckr1's VideosThe top one is a guitar solo for some reason. There's also a video of me singing and looking fat in a red t-shirt. But ignore them.Pay attention to these, they're pretty amazing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
