jonunders Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi, How do you define or what constitutes a great bass riff. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgmh315 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 For me it's when the bass leads the song, ie Under Pressure, Another one bites the Dust, Dancing in the Moonlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immo Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The groove. You can listen to it continuously, your head and/or feet are moving and the song simply dies when the bass is silenced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 As the above answers, all exactly how I`d describe this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just a great riff that happens to be played on bass, don't think 'groove' or dancibility is any pre-requisite at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
