Rubbersoul Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Lucretia (my reflection). It’s so simple, never varies but just drives the song so hard! Love it. Gimme your favourites! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Overdose - AC/DC He just plays one bleedin’ note but it works so well under the guitar chords. It really makes the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Great idea for a thread! Fontella Bass - Rescue Me John Holt - Help Me Make it Through the Night. I only thought of these 'cos I'm playing them at the moment. Planning on learning the songs suggested above now 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Just now, hiram.k.hackenbacker said: Are You Gonna Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz Are you gonna go my way is a great bass line, but it has a bass solo and several trills and very tricky timing at the end, I wouldn't really class it as a simple bass line at all. I thought we were discussing 1-3 note lines or repetitive patterns? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I just thought it fitted the OP criteria - agreed it can be a bit dirge-y unless covered by a really good singer (and likewise I used to nod off when playing it years ago in a covers band - same with "with or without you") but the original is a great and powerful song. Some really good examples in posts above, although some I wouldn't call all that simple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
