I reckon it is near perfect, Bass wise. I absolutely love playing along to it. Just wish i could get my band to be brave enough to have a bash at it!![/quote] Same here. Im always playing this bass line at sound checks and while the drummer joins in the other two dont really want to know. We will never play it live. Real shame.

tom5string Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 This one is really cool and funky - although I received lot's of laughter ..... until they took a close listening :-) One of my favourites of not-so-long-ago - Guy Pratt at his best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 May have been mentioned before on youtube links but I love the bass line on "Starlight" by The Supermen Lovers and more recently I've loved the bass parts on "Left My Heart In Tokyo" by Mini Viva (total one hit wonders for sure) and also there's a very cool disco-y type bass part on Dizzee Rascal's latest tune. Cheesy chart guff I know but reassuring to know someone out there is putting good bass lines into at least a couple of the mass produced nonsense out there........OMG I sound like my dad!

Love this Bass line - especially the cover version by Gwen Stefani and her merry men. Really nice bass line to play too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 OK, so not *strictly* a 'brilliant' bass line - certainly in the pocket on the original version of the track - but when in the hands of a Bass MONSTER such as Mick Karn, this version makes it in to my top ten favourite songs ever I reckon! Oh - and Brian May on guitar is just.. just... well, I can't hear the sax version ever again! ha! :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Yeah, I have this version on DVD and keep listening too. The fretless fills are delightful. I've heard the original maybe once or twice at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 'I'm the Man', for that matter!, primarily; Fools in love I'm the man Got the time Done on an Ibanez- either a Roadstar or Roadster by all accounts. Dunno whether I'd call it "Pop", but if I didn't, I don't know what I would call it! I'm tempted to chuck in "Babooshka" or "You Can Call me Al", but I'm not sure that they're Pop either. Otherwise, a +1 to "Slip-slidin' Away" and (the inevitable) "Sledgehammer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mog Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Top stuff IMO. Its a great album for basslines. Lots of groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Ok, cheeky one here... It's a live fretless solo in a song that was originally recorded with a synth bass, I believe. I just think it's a wicked fretless tone and a nice tastey solo! fast forward to 4 minutes for the solo if you aren't a fan of the track!

keeponehandloose Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 All those lines from the Imagination singles stick in my head . Dont actually think they were played on a bass though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
