Recommend Some Basslines

[TheFunPolice]

So I just saw a thread asking people to suggest some guitar solos and that got me thinking. I've been playing bass for about a year now and have built up a reasonably big music library and recently I've run out of songs (with interesting basslines) to learn. So Escapists, any nice/interesting basslines out there? Many thanks!

Also it might help if I post a list of songs I know,

I'm not too familiar with waht Bassline are, does it mean exactly as it sounds? as in something with a tonne of bass?

Would Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden count?

Go on ultimate guitar archive and click the top 100 list. Just choose bass tabs, and you can get a lot of ideas there. Personally I would recommend any bass lines you can find by L'arc en Ciel. The bassist is really good and the basslines are a lot of fun to play.

You must learn this.


Fun to play, and not as hard as it sounds.

Anything by primus

He's been learning bass for a year. Only a year. No. Don't be cruel.

It's so nice to hear some really audible bass.

Well, the baseline in Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz is great, but it is also incredibly simple. I would suggest many of Rush's songs.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

For advanced basslines, try anything by Ryan Martinie from Mudvayne. Fucking wicked bassist...

 

[Ewyx]

Pink Floyd - Time
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.

Both amazing bass lines, both take you 5 mins to learn.
Schism and The Pot by Tool are also fun, good luck getting the sound right though.

It's good and not too complicated, but quite fun. Although I play the ol' six string, so I'm not an expert on bass.
