Ah, i got that album when it came out, and saw her at V when she played there.
She did a bunch of good songs.
Good call.

Lovely bottom end action, in both senses.[/b][/quote]

I always liked the only song the free radicals did.
Nice fun song, with a surprisingly busy bassline.

Great line from Guy Pratt....[/quote]
Ah-ha! Yes!
I'd not heard that since it came out, and it was on some obscure radio station yesterday and my ears certainly pricked up when heard it, and now i've just read this.
Funny how you don't think of something for years then it crops up a few times.

This is a great bass line. Purely because it shows how GREAT a bass line can be when you hold back a bit and try to be subtle and clever.
Plus the playing in the middle 8 is brilliant (2:08-2:20mins)

Isn't that the mall from the original George Romero "Dawn of the Dead"? The escalators and fountain look familiar.

Great song / bassline too. I love the sound of the bass on that song.
Even the Emma Bunton version managed to sound good!!

Delightfully simple bassline, but sounds great. Edited September 3, 2010 by bluesparky

Ha! Even the random / pointless little snippet of save a prayer at the start has a great bassline too.
This thread could run and run.

I always liked what the guy in Crowed House did, Nothing flash but suited the songs.

I wouldn't use the word 'brilliant' but they worked

Love the bass in this, also the words are so on the ball
