gary mac Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The bass playing on most of the Wailers stuff. It sounds so simple and it kind of is but the feel and the space just really do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The much maligned UB40 (who I generally cannot stand) kicked off with a really good double A-sided single King/Food for Thought. The latter has a really nice bass line.

Fionn Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Days chasing days, by The Congos Total pressure hook ... pushes air like a warm storm ... the notes swell so much that they sound almost latent ...

lettsguitars Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Any Dr Alimantado stuff. That, to me, is some of the best reggae music EVER! Also Culture had it going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Maybe more "Lovers' Rock" than reggae... but still a very nice, tasteful bass part IMO.

Skol303 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Oh boy… so many to choose from! Here’s some of my favourites – not necessarily the best basslines, but classics in their own way… Wadada (Means Love): Dub Syndicate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czXE8ig8jW8 All About Da Weed (Chuck Fenda) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ4vv4YRUo8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 ... and a couple more (sorry, just being greedy here!). 56-46 That’s My Number (Toots and the Maytals) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHrECHho14U Street 66 (Linton Kwesi Johnson) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH1BblEnK38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Natural Mystic - like someone said earlier, it's the simplicity. The space then falling onto the root at 2 and 4, with some lovely playing behind the beat. AFMB is the man! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKtX6cf0_0A Too Much Too Young (Specials)- one of my favourite basslines ever. Busier than your average reggae bassline, but it works really well. I love the timing. Guns in the Ghetto (Morgan Heritage) - We use this groove for one of our songs and it's a joy to play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlRqagppNzo No No No (Dawn Penn) - Classic and timeless line Also - Ultra Stimulation (Finlay Quaye) - You can take your pick from this superb album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
