What's the last bassline you learned?

[ianrunci]

Thinking of you - sister sledge
Spinning around - Kylie

[BigAlonBass]

Starstruck-the Dio version, for a depping job over the weekend. (I knew all the other stuff)

Great song - by coinceidence I was listening to that on the way into work this morning

I tried learning Motorhead again yesterday as our guitarist can play it better than me

[waynepunkdude]

Flobots - Handlebars, easy but effective.

Brilliant example of why bass is awesome, Rhythm Stick would work without a complex bass line and Flobots would sound awful with a complex bass line but they both make the song.

[Duarte]

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes - Paul Simon

Love it

[Eight]

The Temptations - Ain't Too Proud To Beg

Lovin' my Motown right now and this is such a good fun track with an easy (but groovey) bassline.

[acidbass]

Been very busy over the last six weeks learning 60 songs (only 3 of which I'd heard before!) for a new band, as well as Footloose The Musical - the title track of which has some fantastic bass playing!

[Marvin]

Brick House by The Commodores.

I even do the moves, otherwise my fingers just don't get funky enough. :blush:

[Lylodile]

Stone Cold Bush- RHCP

Fun solo...

[cocco]

The Jackson 5 - I want you back. Turned out to be a good cure for bone idle little finger syndrome too

[HMX]

Slither by Velvet Revolver

[4-string-thing]

We're not gonna take it, Twisted Sister & Everything about you by Ugly Kid Joe.

[Marvin]

Free - Heartbreaker

[Lylodile]

Shadowplay- Joy Division

[Fitz666]

Caught in a Mosh - Anthrax.

Fabulous bass line.

[Toasted]

The Calling - Whereever you will go. "Learned" is an awfully grand title for that.

[thumperbob 2002]

Roadrunner- Junior Walker- sounds simple enough but Jameson does some surprising things on this tune- as always!! Great Song- hope our sax player gets it.

Sweetback by Ivan 'Boogaloo Joe' Jones. WELL FUNKY!

I love the bass intro to that song

[iamthewalrus]

I'm currently working on "I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea" - the band I'm in plays this in the set, & having recently discovered a transcription by John Currie whilst demolishing my collection of bass magazines, I found that what's transcribed is different (in parts) to what I'm playing!

Cheers,
iamthewalrus.

[cureswhatailsye]

Sir Duke...Stevie. Been running it over in my head for days and days since I learned it. A good way of cementing your transcriptions.
