Songs with killer bass guitar Anonymous 06/28/2017 (Wed) 23:41:15 [Preview] No. 1702
Get in here and share and/or talk about songs that have basslines you enjoy.

It doesn't need to be overly technical (although that's definitely cool too) or impressive in terms of Music Theory or anything like that. Enjoy the groove? Post it.

Here's one: Donny Hathaway's This Christmas. Donny wrote and played this bassline on keyboard for the album version, when played live it would have most likely been played by the masterful Chuck Rainey.

This version is a "playalong" by user "accentedpassingtone" from youtube.

Here's another track featuring Chuck Rainey on bass: Steely Dan's Green Earrings from The Royal Scam, an album full of amazing musicianship from soup to nuts.

Here's something a little more off-kilter -- Percy Jones' fretless bass playing on Brian Eno's Sky Saw from Another Green World

James Jamerson has about a billion sweet basslines under his belt. Rumor has it he was pretty tipsy for much of his session work. Doesn't sound like it.

il Segno del Comando-la Taverna Dell'angelo

Bass in this song is nice. Checkout 8:00-8:25 for a little bass solo.

That's a cool track you posted. Shame you have to act like a cunt when discussing music.

Isn't She Lovely is the only thing I've found of Victor Wooten's that I thought was worthwhile. He's pretty boring most of the time, unless you just care about base technique.

Les Claypool is rad. I love this song he did with Zach Hill.

This famous meme song has some good bass guitar. I'm trying to learn how to play it on acoustical right now.

>Well, it looks like the link you were looking for has expired (or is invalid!), this is how the link originator wished it and who are we to argue! Suffice to say that the url that this link led to . . . doesn't anymore.
too bad you used a meme concept to make it so we can't actually ever find your link
