Yeah, I know it's a blatant steal from Chic...talking of which, they had some great bass lines too. That's all I can think of at the moment.... Oh, (not sure if this is really retro enough) the Armand Van Helden remixes of Tori Amos' Professional Widow and CJ Bolland's Suger Is Sweeter - awesome bass riffs

Nik Kershaw had some esp on When a heart beats which is his best Mark King of Level 42 had some goodies up his sleeve too was My baby just cares for me bass ??? it was good though and whenever i think of double bass' (bass's/basses erm) Stray Cats (i always think of little pussycats playing them) they were cool though i must admit

However - I was torn between two Stranglers tracks, Peaches being one but the one I've gone for is this - jqfqVDHNW6c Love it! The best version ever of this song. Norma

I like The Dooleys :) like father like son... Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 5,606 User: 100	Well anything by Primus tbh, especially Tommy The Cat. Black Sabbath have some amazing bass lines on their first 2 albums, NIB and the bassline during the guitar solo of Iron Man stand out as pretty amazing. For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica uses good distortion pedal to great effect at the start. Take These Broken Wings by Mr Mister has a nice little bass riff going throughout the song. Cool For Cats by Squeeze has also got a funk-tastic bassline

Always wear a clean pair of knickers, cos you never know when th Joined: 12 March 2006 Posts: 18,586 User: 190	"She's In Parties" by Bauhaus has an amazing bassline, very Dub.... "Epic" by Faith No More... "Sir Psycho Sexy" - RHCP, in fact most of Flea's basslines are cool Dean Garcia - Curve bassist, did some absolutely pounding stuff, especially "Die Like A Dog"... Iron Maiden - "Phantom of the Opera" John's right about Les Claypool from Primus, an amazing bassist, plays bass almost like a second lead guitar...
