Songs with propulsive chromatic bass runs!

[tedmanzie]

John Paul Jones on this Dusty Springfield song, I love that propulsive rising chromatic run thing in the intro (also later on) and the busy Motown-esque bassline. 

Got any favourites that do this kind of thing? I like the way it pushes the song along.

This is full of chromatic bass runs! And lots of other stuff... Though I didn't realise he'd changed his name again to Jamaad-Len!

I guess this counts, propulsive in a laid-back, fractured way.

Is it just me - where's the chromatic run in this?

Thanks for posting! I'd forgotten about him and badly need to revisit.
Sorry to see the fans never forgave Len for doing the Cottage Delights Jam ad in the seventies. 😉

I'm not going to post it, but he's also recently done gigs with The Wiggles in Oz, one song being "Play The Bass Guitar (Jamaaladeen you're a star)"

These boots are made for walkin....

 

Heard that song, or parts of it today as the background noise level was high, and I noticed the decending bass line. Impressive. And it works.
