EdwardHimself Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 well anesthesia (pullling teeth) by metallica basically IS a bass solo and for whom the bell tolls has a bass solo in it, it doesn't sound like one really tho, the only reason i could tell was from whatching the rockumentary on St. Anger.

Happy Jack Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 How on earth did this thread reach p.2 without mentioning [i]Taxman[/i] [i]Come Together[/i] [i]Dear Prudence[/i] and possibly, just possibly, a few other obscure tracks by some old fart called Macca? Quote

bottomfeed Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Percy Jones (Brand x, Tunnels) - nightmare patrol & malaga virgen - from the Brand x album - Livestock Patrick O'Hearn (Frank Zappa) - Rubber shirt (album - Sheik Yerbouti) & the purple lagoon (album - Live in NY) Stanley Clarke - many solos!... but I like what he does with a double bass on Blues for Mingus (album - I wanna Play for you) ...check the shredding run towards the end!... gasp! Alan Thompson (John Martyn) - Looking on (album - philentrophy) Philippe Bussonet (magma) - Nebehr gudhatt (album - Theusz Hamtaahk trilogy 2001) if u don't know this french band, they're amasing!... it's under the genre - "zeuhl music" the band is built around Christian Vander (drummer) & although the line up changes over the years... the vision is always the same.... Philippe is my favorite bassman with them.... great player! Quote

I shall retract that statement forthwith, etc, etc, etc and shall take many trips to local charity shops and use Ebay extensively to research and to assemble all aforementioned tracks - preferably on vinyl.

It's maybe not the most demanding bass-line you'll hear, yet it sounds really good (so it's a good one to learn). Quote
Dood Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Big Bottom - Spinal Tap. I think the bass pretty much has a monopoly on that track! ;o) Quote

I love the lack of overdubbed rhythm guitar in the guitar solo in "cult of personality" on that album... you can really hear the groove & space.... & then the bass filling it out a bit...tasteful! & those fills on "open letter..." prick my ears up everytime!

He currently plays with Ted Mason's band Blue Mockingbird. Wikipedia is the law Quote
