Yeah I did that, I do it all the time on NZG but it didn't seem to work either of the times I tried it...

Weird. Quote mine to look at if it is the same
Re: Top bass lines of all time ...
You would have to argue about #25 "Come as you are" as the bassline is ripped from Killing Joke 80's

Re: Top bass lines of all time ...
Hi,
What about simple but supporting the song? I'm thinking My Girl with James Jamerson on bass, or Papa was a Rolling Stone (unknown bassist- Larry Graham?).
Just a different slant.
Cheers,
Mike

Re: Top bass lines of all time ...
Yeah good list ,trying to get a copy of each,probably cant play most of em
but do want all in the collection.
Here is one that i found the other day by chance,Paul does some really cool stuff,and i just fell in love with when it was released,still remember the video plain as day,16 at the time,but that bass line just mesmerized me.
A sign of what instrument i was to play (taken loosely of course) 8 years later ha.
sorry cant remember how to embed doh can some one do it for me please

Re: Top bass lines of all time ...
Got a bit excited by the guitar, until I realised it was a Travis Bean, not a Kramer. Still, nice to see an Aluminium necked cousin.
