Bassplayers: Which songs are your favorites to play?

Featured Replies

I think he's wrong too.

 

The only songs I can really hear it in is DMB's "Crush" and "The Space Between."

 

But, I was just thinking... maybe that's why it's called a "bass" drum.

 

Hey, Eric, didn't you like the bassline for Incubus's "Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Long Song)?"

yeah it was cool

i heard like a live version of it with no sax solo

my friends who like incubus say that the new guy sucks but idk

oh and the bass drum...

idk

prolly not

becaue bass is like a sound not an instrument you know? (well it is but...)

Hmmm... I think that "Deep Inside," has a similar bassline. Keep in mind, I think. I don't know much about bass....

 

I have to agree with your friends on the new bass player. I think he sucks. He just doesn't look right with them. They need to bring back the old bass player, who I think is actually my favorite bassist....

Fuck, I forgot another good one...

 

Led Zeppelin - The Crunge

 

Actually, you can kind of notice the bass drum/bass thing there. Especially in the beginning of the song when the bass comes right in.

phantom of the opera , I am playing it know ;)

nice list man! Everything's not lost has such a sweet bass line. And the radiohead basses that you listed are brilliant.

Can you play the paranoid android one? Cos i've been trying to play it for a few weeks... ok, actually, a few months. lol And man, that bass is the devil!

 

In honesty, I'm actually a guitarist, but I occasionally play the bass. This has worked to my advantage I guess, because I can play lead guitar pretty well so I've transferred the technique across to the bass. I don't find it all that hard, but when I started learning the lead guitar part it took me a few months to get it nailed - now I can play it blindfolded.

 

Don't give up - keep going and eventually you'll get there. The bass is probably the hardest part of the song!

 

:lol: when i was scrolling down fast, it looked like that blue arrow was going up that .....dogs butt....hmmm...whats his name.....

It took me a while to understand what the hell you're on about, but I'm assuming you're referring to my avatar.

 

His name's Brian. He's a character in Family Guy.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I seem to do that to people and i dont mean to! Thats one thing i hate about key board and having teeth... *wonders what the gay hell that has to do with anything*

Hello Brian! Me name is julie!!

I'm even more confused than I was before.

 

I'm not called Brian. The dog in my avatar is called Brian. My real name is Ryan - even though it sounds similar, I can assure you it did not influence my decision to have a dog named Brian in my avatar.

 

I'm from a small town in North Hertforshire in the UK. I doubt you will have heard of it, (since 99% of the UK's population haven't heard of it).

 

Anyway, I'm rambling...

 

blah blah blah blah blah

Ahh!! Hello Ryan!! You seem like a Brian!! May i call you Brian instead?!?! :smug: lol! thankyou for assuring me about the dog thing from Family Guy!!

 

honestly, that sounds familiar.

My father has/ had family in London Somewhere... i dont remember where...but that sounds familiar

 

Ramble on!! I insist!! :confused: :lol:

Ah, this thread owns. it's been a long time since i last posted here... so yea, my favourite songs to play...

 

Radiohead - i might be wrong (cool lil bass line. not as cool as the guitar riff, but still...), and where i end and you begin (it's soo awesome. i cant even describe it). Blur - girls and boys (man, i have so much fun playing it... it's scary)

And the big winner...

 

The Strokes - Reptilia.

Gotta luv it. seriously.

But yea, seriously, I LUV that bass. It's so fast and intense.

Last nite's bass is awesome too.

Now i'll probably try the 12.51's bass. Sounds cool too.

you know last nite?

i looked all over but they are crappy tabs

which ones do you use?

yeah 12:51 is alright, its boring though

learn automatic stop its #3 on room on fire

ha

i put the cd on and play 2-4 on that cd

i should learn the rest

i have to play carefree high way by that guy on bass

pretty lame

 

im tyring to learn what is and never should be by led zeppelin but its so hard

Yeah, I guess John Paul Jones was a pretty great bassist.

 

I noticed that I like a lot of the basslines from DMB. (Stefan Lessard) Particularly "Crush."

 

Remember how I told you about the bass/bass drum thing, Eric? It's actually really noticeable there if you ask me.

No, I checked with some more musicians online, and the bass player works together with the drummer to keep the beat, even though you might not hear it.
