Ah the 80s...it all started so promisingly and ended up with Deacon Blue...never mind.

One of my faves from the mid 80's... if you can get past the syn drums, it still sounds great to my ears.

Love that album - Pat Thrall's OTT 80s guitar playing is fantastic.

Was a big fan of this lot at the time... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh4Ce-8z8Gw[/media]

Anything from Stump, a great band and a very inventive bass player.
I think the bass player is on Bass chat, so respect

God, I'd forgotten about Stump. They were often on the The Tube, as I recall. Yeah, good/interesting bass player - did a flamenco finger-picking type thing.

Here's another (often) forgotten 80s band with a good bass player..

Yup, "I shoulda Loved Ya" was T.M. Stevens on bass.

Another cracker - this time with Randy Jackson (of American Idol panel fame) on bass.

Narada Michael Walden "Divine Emotions"

just love that bass line....kinda greasy,gnarly. Don't think I've ever seen a stingray bass so beat up...unusual with such a tough poly finish.
