Davo-London Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Loved the Jamiroquai track. My fav sound is from Burke Shelley from Budgie. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54H3EUAzpVg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54H3EUAzpVg[/url] Davo Quote

leftyhook Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 [quote name='LawrenceH' timestamp='1322342776' post='1449785'] Not generally a fan of the later Jamiroquai output but that is awesome! Great distinctive bass sound too. [/quote] Jamiroquai...terrible melodies!!! one saving grace, the funnnkeii basslines. Quote

louisthebass Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 [quote name='TonyBones' timestamp='1325366510' post='1482651'] Man in the corner shop The Jam, cos it made me want to play Bass. Still makes me feel the same way i did when i heard it for the first time [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPdFQc1w5Ys[/media] [/quote] Good call, plus anything on Tamla Motown or Stax for me.

jonmohajer1 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB31_P63-ng Andy Rourke is probably my favourite bassist. But to be honest I can't think of many records I really love that [i]weren't[/i] played on a precision bass... Quote
Deep Thought Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 I can only agree with preceding comments regarding the Stranglers-my personal choice would probably be Tank, closely followed by Hanging Around, Grip, or Threatened. Honourable mention also to Fall on me by REM, Debaser by the Pixies, and as I'm currently having a bit of a Foo Fighters period, probably Times like these (A Precision-alike at least, if not a real one).

The whole of L&D, incredibly tight, considering Lynott's relaxed approach to the timing with his vocals. An incredible talent. Yes, good call. Quote

Russ Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Everyone's mentioned some great stuff, but, for me, it's all about Eric Avery from Jane's Addiction. Stupendous bassist, very influential and hugely underrated. Precision + pick + SVT + taste + talent = WIN. Here's one of his best basslines, on "Ted, Just Admit It": [media]http://youtu.be/1CpRCc4Jre8[/media] He's awesome on the first three Janes' albums, but also try and track down an album called Deconstruction that he did with Dave Navarro after JA originally split up back in 1992. There's some fantastic bass on there. Quote
Prime_BASS Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Anything from Mad Capsule Markets 4 plugs album or the self titled 1996 album!!! Pure lead bass dirt slag tastic ness. Make sure those headphones are in! [media]http://youtu.be/XqxixMlclzs[/media] [media]http://youtu.be/ANzvQTsSFe8[/media] Quote
pst62 Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 The much overlooked powerhouse that is John McCoy. [url="http://youtu.be/UY9SQHhaf5U"]http://youtu.be/UY9SQHhaf5U[/url] and sort of in a similar vein, Algy Ward. [url="http://youtu.be/5sB6IuSPna0"]http://youtu.be/5sB6IuSPna0[/url] Quote
