Here he is with another (at least 90% of this one is "D" I think). Edited October 15, 2019 by darkandrew Add video clip Quote

LeftyP Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 "Groovin' by The Young Rascals. The bass just sets the mood perfectly. Quote
Rubbersoul Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 Some great suggestions here. Quite a few I’ve not previously heard: I will check them all out when I get the time. Quote
Ricky 4000 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Here's another - It don't get much simpler than this groove 👍 However, you might like this better: And this is pretty simple: I love that girl's playing, and her sound ^^^^ 😎 Edited October 21, 2019 by Ricky 4000 1 Quote

If you start the Savages one and then bang on four seconds start The Screaming Blues Messiahs one, the first minute is great. 1 Quote
Maude Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Here's another couple of great simple lines. 1 Quote

KevL Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 In The City another one from The Jam, so may not be a simple riff but the intro, alongside Weller's guitar, is so direct and grabs your attention - the first bars of their first single, the promise of so much more to follow. From the same era how about Too Much Too Young by The Specials? The album version, particularly, with Terry Hall singing at the end about 'Beans on toast for tea' just supported by Horace Gentleman's grooves. 2 Quote
Hellzero Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Their last CD is glued in my car radio. 😉Excellent all through. And always simple and groovy bass lines. 1 Quote
Guest Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Whatever You Want, by Status Quo. Classic track from their peak, doing what they did best. Only 7 bass notes in the whole song, but lifts and carries it along beautifully. Quote
NHM Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 'Happy Ways' by Joe Walsh - must be one of the simplest ever. Quote

BrunoBass Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 It doesn’t get a lot simpler, nor effective, than this. One note, on the beat. What a groove... ...sampled incidentally from this: 3 Quote
