bottomfeed Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) What bass lines have been inspirational to you? "Funk the dumb stuff" - Tower of Power (Rocco Prestia) "Ish" - Brand x (Percy Jones) "stay" - Meshell Ndegeocello are three that have got my bass bone quivering recently!........

For me: Redefine, Deep Inside - Incubus Happy?, Not Falling, Nothing to Gein - Mudvayne If I Like it...I Do it, Virtual Insanity, Just another Story - Jamiroquai Skies of the Millenium Night - Sikth Teen Town - Weather Report Probally countless others but they are the main ones that do make me go "Ooo errr" everytime I listen to them.

Sean Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) I tried hard to think of one that wasn't obvious for me and it has to be Dreaming From The Waist by The Who on The Maximum R&B boxset. Wonderful example of The Ox being The Ox. Edited July 16, 2007 by Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 In a departure from my usual selection, todays choice will be the awesome playing on Thomas Lang's version of the classic "Me and Mrs Jones." The bass is right in your face all the way through. "Mwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh" like it is urging to get out of the speakers and onto your lap!

DaBassMonsta Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Led Zeppelin's How Many More Times. Every time I hear it I have to bounce. Don't think it's possible to stay still when that's playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullet-Rule Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I have to agree with the guy that said Mudvayne. Happy? has been pretty inspirational for me and Rage against the Machine songs such as Killing in the Name and Bombtrack really get me going. They're simple but I love 'em.

JohnSlade07 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Obvious but ... The Real Me - The Who What is Hip? - TOP I Was Made To Love Her - Stevie Wonder The Lemon Song - Led Zeppelin So What - Miles Davis Town Called Malice - The Jam Blimey! I'm showing my age a bit there. I do actually listen to music that's more modern than the early 80s. Honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernmeister Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Just been listening to The Jamiroquai's The return of the space cowboy album I'm digging the bassline on the track Manifest Destiny. I also love the bassline from the track supermodel sandwich with cheese by terence trent d'arby from the album Vibrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
