Top bass lines of all time ...

[zero]

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

[Shaeve]

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

Argue about this one:
37. Young Lust (Pink Floyd)

Thanks for the list jazzbass. Just what i needed, a new interest to keep my up all night

[beagle]

Yeah just grab a bass, cut n paste each one into YouTube and you're all set

[pins]

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 **Edit - done!**

[pins]

Thanks so much to the mystery fixer of my embed failure ! much appreciated.

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.

[martyforrer]

Geez Rog, ya left two of the best ever off that list....
What Is Hip... Tower of Power
Spain... Return To Forever.
