Dood Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 [quote name='dood' timestamp='1498249640' post='3323466'] All this talk of hypnotic bass lines, I have to post this one. [b]One note bass line[/b] and it's almost perfect. If Clive from Lowestoft is reading this (Sorry chap I can't remember your BC ID) then a knowing nod will be the response.

Al Krow Posted July 8, 2017 Author Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Guilty pleasure: Van Morrison, Brown Eyed Girl. The energy of the song is, for me, entirely driven by the off-the-beat bass line. Just downloaded an excellent tab posted by Constantine Isslamow available for free as part of his YouTube post. Looking forward to having a go at over the weekend [url="https://youtu.be/GNgVAI4OGLs"]https://youtu.be/GNgVAI4OGLs[/url] Edited July 8, 2017 by Al Krow Quote
Japhet Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Just had Can You See The Real Me (The Who) come up on the 'learn for rehearsal' list. Yikes! Doesn't seem too hard but a huge amount of pentatonic noodling up the dusty end. Really looking forward to having a bash at this one though. Quote

[/quote] Well I'm a child of the 80's so a big fan of Moving Pictures, Signals, Grace Under Pressure, Hold Your Fire & especially Power Windows. Saying that, now I think my favourite is Clockwork Angels. If that does prove to be their last album, they went out on an absolute high IMO. Quote
ezbass Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 The bassline to this is pretty marvellous. http://youtu.be/uMyCa35_mOg Quote

[/quote] MJ has some awesome and iconic bass lines and no doubt whatsover and Billie Jean was defiinitely one of those! This little number by Charlie Puth (330 MILLION + YouTube hits so far) is completely made by the bass line starting at 48s in. https://youtu.be/nfs8NYg7yQM PS I LOVE that [i]tone[/i], but I've been told that the only way to get that is with a P Bass. Is that correct? Is there not a pre-amp pedal that can do the same? Quote
flaxholmelis Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) The Stranglers - Down in the Sewer - final movement.

Osiris Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 After weeks of constant bullying from a certain [i]Mr Al Krow[/i], I'd like to add throw one of my favourite bass lines into the mix. It's nothing complex, but the simple, repetitive, hypnotic groove courtesy of the legendary Jah Wobble is a work of minimalistic genius. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFxpL5TpZH0 Quote
