the_gloaming09 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navegador Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 ^Yep, the bassline on New Year's Day is amazing.

hotdensestate Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotdensestate Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
