arthurhenry Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 [quote name='muttley' post='1241590' date='May 23 2011, 01:48 PM']Is that a song or a reference to the taste of the compiler of the OP's clip? IGMC[/quote] Jethro Tull song in 5/4. Glenn Cornick on bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomE Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 A shout for Franki Valli and the Four Seasons - The Night. Not complicated intro but just sets the tone for the whole song and a very good song it is too. Even includes hiss on the tape from the studio. Nice.

TheRev Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I always like the intro to Rotten Apple by Alice in Chains -it's my music shop riff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Good evening, all... Being 'old school' (read 'old'...), I would suggest Jack Casady, with the Airplane, live... ...In a different vein (not really an 'intro', rather an 'intro/solo', there is Mr. Casady, and Jefferson Starship, with... Now, for me, that's bass playing... Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawtooth Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The O'Jays - 'for the love Of money' ... Sly and the Family Stone - 'if you want me to stay' ... The Fatback Band - 'wicky wacky' ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_skezz Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Reminds me of Peaches a tad, prefer Dead Ringer's riff though... Loved these guys when I first heard them, playing on the same bill as em on Friday...some great basslines. Bit of Krist Novoselic never hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 [quote name='MacDaddy' post='1240466' date='May 22 2011, 04:27 PM']Ace of Spades - Motorhead a bit cheesey but still great [/quote] ^ You beat me to it! Incredibly simple but a truly legendary bassline by Lemmy on that one. I'd also add (in a similar vain) 'The Day Everything Became Nothing' by NoMeansNo: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJi0_WcJHkg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJi0_WcJHkg[/url] ...and maybe throw in - on a totally different note! - 'Brown Paper Bag' by Roni Size: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEBoVhx_hDk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEBoVhx_hDk[/url] From those on the OP's video, I'd certainly highlight Dazed & Confused, For Whom the Bell Tolls, 'Bites the Dust and N.I.B.

Vinny Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 [quote name='Count Bassy' post='1241524' date='May 23 2011, 01:10 PM']'Handy' by Wishbone Ash. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNJqVW2L5is"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNJqVW2L5is[/url] Give it a listen - it's worth 3 minutes of your life (IMHO) Love it, and wish I could learn it.[/quote] Good call, that man! Surprised there's not much mention of Martin Turner around these parts, I love playing 'Throw Down The Sword' and 'Ballad Of The Beacon'. (which neither of my bands will entertain. Boo!) F.U.B.B. has a nice growly intro, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Or maybe this from Charles Mingus - lovely playing: I'd also nominate "Turn the page" by Rush and "Stone Dead Forever" by the 'head. Also "Fish On" by Primus, kinda goes out of tune in places, but still a lovely line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got into Phronesis (what a ridiculous name) when I heard them on Resonance FM a couple of years ago. Couldn't get into the Vortex gig in February... sold out, unfortunately. Too many adoring bass players, I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
