daz Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) First one is [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ea0QFcfGTw"]African and White by China Crisis[/url], this is a Youtube clip, although its sound only. There are a few videos of them doing this live, but none are as good as the original release. the Second is [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE3WaSETf8k"]Stir it up by The Wailers[/url] This Wailers clip from youtube is of The old grey Whistle Test in 1973 and has the original Wailers with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. Far superior to the [i]I Threes [/i]period.Top stuff. Both these bass lines are very simple and easy to learn in minutes. I belive they show that simple is often best when it comes to bass lines. .

velvetkevorkian Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Yes, but simple is not always best, contrary to popular belief. There are times when lots of notes is actually what the song calls for. It depends on the music, and we should be swayed by our ears not by dogma.

dave_bass5 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I dont think Geddy Lee would agree with simple is best lol. I do tend to dumb down most of the song i have to learn if done in a hurry though. simple can sometimes be best and certainly easier.
