I also can't get Ressurection Joe by The Cult out of my head.

Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley. That pair of double stops at the end of the chorus get me every time.

[dtbass]

First time i nailed "The Lemon Song" by Led Zep, i got goosebumps.
Also, I love "for Whom The Bell Tolls" - Metallica, especially the live version ala Cliff Burton.

[quote name='neilb' post='35342' date='Jul 21 2007, 07:07 PM']Already mentioned.......The Real Me - The Who.

However, Rio by Duran Duran makes me sit up and get down!!![/quote]


Rio is just sounds so complicated...gives me a WTF moment like when I hear 'Hit me with your rhythm stick'

[theosd]

Anything by Rage Against The Machine, and a few of Audioslave's, but not so much.

Bomb Track anyone?

Oh, and Jamiroquai's "The Kids" has an awesome bassline!! Shame the song is a bit repetitive though...

Everybody here has mentioned some great players/lines jamerson, marcus, willie weeks, entwhistle, flea etc etc but there is one guy for me who is conspicuous by his absence. Jimmy Johnson on anything by James Taylor, any of the sessions he has done with huge artists, his own thing, flim and the bbs not to mention the groundbreaking material with alan holdsworth.
guys, check this man out he is the epitome of taste, time, placement, and choice
Jake
PS
The line that really blows me away that he is on is 'The frozen man' on the James Taylor Pull over tour dvd, The reason? because he plays so little, so well

[TheRev]

Just thought of two more:

Danny Thompson on John Martyn's Solid Air
Flea on Alanis Morrisette's You Aughta Know

Both fecking amazing - they move the song along, don't get in the way and make you feel all funny.

[bottomfeed]

recently... 'the sloganeer' by meshell ndegeocello & 'us annexed' by Grand Island

If I ever get the chance to sit down with a bass set up in the right tuning I might try and figure it out but otherwise all my attention is on figuring out Martinie's lines and Dirk's as well.

At the moment its Funk Me by Marvin Gaye
