July 4, 200817 yr I'm gonna say Another One Bites The Dust by Queen. 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

July 4, 200817 yr Hmm. 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
July 5, 200817 yr Rob's nicked my first choice: Public Image Limited - Public Image. So........ I go for Paul McCartney's reverse V sign to all his critics..... w30K1GUpYwI Wings - Let Me Roll It
July 5, 200817 yr Author police 'beds too big without you' juicy lucy 'who do you love'... what a great bassline that has! it changes! and is very lively.
July 5, 200817 yr Grandmaster Flash's 'White Lines'...as sampled from Liquid Liquid's 'Cavern' of course ;) Deee-Lite's 'Groove is in the Heart'...as sampled from Herbie Hancock's 'Bring Down The Birds' of course ;) The Stone Roses 'I Am The Resurrection'...as sampled ON MC Tunes vs 808 State's 'Tunes Splits the Atom' (of course ;))
July 6, 200816 yr A lot of Level 42 stuff (mid-career - early on and much later on they were a bit pants). 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
July 7, 200816 yr I said Level 42 also earlier..... was there bass on Sex Pistols ?? (finally my ugly mug is on BJ : http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?a...03&img=1550 )
July 7, 200816 yr was there bass on Sex Pistols ?? There was until Glen Matlock was kicked out! Badum-tish! Just remembered another... The Clash's 'Guns of Brixton'
July 7, 200816 yr 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 :D
July 7, 200816 yr "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...
July 7, 200816 yr Rage Against The Machine - Calm Like A Bomb RdnxBA7qLjU Rancid - Maxwell Murder [the bass solo is also amazing in this] 1bimNMiz250
