April 9, 201115 yr The past year Bass has been an instrument I've really bee into playing, so I wanted to see what are some of your favorite basslines.
April 9, 201115 yr You really have to learn Hyper Music. I don't care if you hate Muse with a burning passion, it's an excellent bass piece. [ame= ] [/ame] And then of course Time Is Running Out has a pretty good bassline too, but it is dwarfed by Hyper Music. :wacky: [ame= ] [/ame]
April 9, 201115 yr Can't remember that much now..some of my favourites are "Timebomb" by The Whitest Boy Alive & Panic Switch by Silversun Pickups

April 9, 201115 yr herp a derp [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a01QQZyl-_I]YouTube - Queen - 'Under Pressure'[/ame] is the correct answer
April 9, 201115 yr I don't know why but I've always loved the bassline in Ob La Di Ob La Da. Also New Years Day by U2.
April 9, 201115 yr ^Yep, the bassline on New Year's Day is amazing. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LR1mweAxsI]U2 - New Year's Day[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSwHcD9HPFw]Genesis - One For The Vine[/ame] I can't believe nobody posted "Money" yet!

April 9, 201115 yr Ohhh, Jaco :mellow: I can't even include him in a list of "basslines", though, he didn't even write basslines, just fucking awesome parts/solos. Not much of it was close to repetitive enough to be a "bassline", or at least not a bassline on the same level as what we normally refer to in pop (ie riffs/grooves) edit: I could also indulge in my love of 70's porn music right now but perhaps I shan't :P
April 9, 201115 yr I was trying to find a decent-sounding youtube video for Billy Squier - Everybody Wants You but I came across this instead and I started laughing uncontrollably :| [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaOiZxl-lKM&feature=related]YouTube - Billy Squire- Everybody Wants You (speed)[/ame]

April 9, 201115 yr Author [ame= ] [/ame] ^nasty song, nasty bass [ame= ] [/ame] ^yes it may be the easiest and most repetitive bass line, but it's infectious [ame= ] [/ame] [ame= ] [/ame]
April 9, 201115 yr All the times I've listened to Haiti, I've never even noticed it has a genuine bassline played on an actual bass... >.> I think I always assumed it was a keyboard cuz it sounds like one in the beginning? And I've listened to Haiti a LOT. I'm embarrassed now :sad:
