[Music] What is the best BASS track of all time?

[Is it PotG?]

Maybe not the best technically, but a lovelier bass/drum combo I have yet to meet.



Intense

 

[Don Tmatter]

Surprised these haven’t had mention yet.

Clearly something wrong with my laptop as all I can see are black rectangles!

Exactly the same thing has happened to me in the last two or three days - it was fine before that. I've asked on another thread (probably the best guitarist thread) if any of the technical experts on here can help with suggesting reasons for why it has happened - and more importantly, how to deal with it.

The silence has, unfortunately, been deafening. If you find the cure, please share it!

I learned to play to these records when I was 15, still great . .

I saw Queens of the Stone Age live in Davenport, Iowa about 16 years ago.

At one point I went outside the building on the roof terrace bar for 5 minutes whilst they were mid-set and they were so loud, that I didn’t miss anything.

Theme for great cities - Simple minds.
Derek Forbes is a sublime player, and this track showcases his talent.
Also agree with the nice n sleazy suggestion, JJ at his best .

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

The bass line in 'All Along the Watchtower' (Hendrix version) , is fabulous. My fave anyway.

TTFR

 

[Boys 9d]

Any track on which Jaco Pastorius plays.

Great call. An amazing track, by a great band.

Saw Simple Minds at The Dome three years ago. A brilliant gig.

Bassist Simon Gallup was only 19 when the Cure recorded this:

This song deserves a place on this thread. Bass playing by legendary session man, Chuck Rainey.

This far in and no mention of either James Jamerson or Carol Kaye?

:ffsparr

 

[RexCathedra]

From jazz --- anything by Ray Brown'd do, really, but this is for starters:



As an old bass teacher of mine said "Any clown can swing at m=120. Can you swing at m=80"?

 

[RexCathedra]

There are those who maintain Carol Kaye was on guitar, w/Don Begley on bass, for the Glenn Campbell track.

So, to be sure: On Joe Cocker: Feelin' Alright



Who says you can only put presidents on Mt. Rushmore?
