ianrendall Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 The oft-ridiculed Disco genre provides us bass-types with much groove and many a funk. What is your choice disco flava? To start, I'm really loving this: http://youtu.be/RcYD_jeu1-U Quote

sammybee Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) it's a cover, but this version is superior https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRtpqdazjYE Edited March 23, 2016 by sammybee Quote
drTStingray Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Ah takes me back to my youth!!! But where do you start with these as there are so many. I picked this one because If you went to a club in 77, 78, 79 they would play this monster at least once - monster because you'd need some stamina to dance for that long but people loved it and the bass parts are wicked!! http://youtu.be/EwjZEEsMJaU Quote
BrunoBass Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Ooh where to start? Disco Inferno by The Trammps I Shoulda Loved Ya by Narada Michael Walden (TM Stevens on bass) Stomp by Brothers Johnson and Get On The Floor by Michael Jackson (both Louis Johnson) Shack Up by Banbarra All wonderful basslines...

bubinga5 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Its a genre that i adore, some of the best basslines ever recorded imo. . I just wish i was old enough back then to live in America and go to Studio 54 back in the day. A few not so well known crackin disco records.

This is just a fantastic Disco record from Quincy. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwU6pef--To&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ&index=481[/media] Edited March 24, 2016 by bubinga5 Quote

Kiwi Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Disco will never die. It was more punk than punk at the time because it was so inclusive. Sure the clothing got a bit daft but it still stands for good times even 35 years later. Just when the world needed cheering up after the recession, who should pop up but Nile Rodgers. Exquisite timing on his part (or perhaps luck). My faves: I Feel Love - Donna Summer?Georgio Moroder Pretty much anything by Chic Gimme Gimme - Abba Lady Marmalade - LaBelle Givin' Up Givin' In - Three Degrees Quote
lowdown Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 They are all good!! http://youtu.be/fXmmWBzS-_o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imYJpr09IgQ Quote
spongebob Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 So many to choose from - so I'll add 'Instant Replay' by Dan Hartman, and the entire first two albums by Mcfadden and Whitehead - classics. Quote

Old Man Riva Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Many mixes (and re-recordings) of this out there but this one really shows that killer bass line.. Flares are compulsory!
