timhiggins Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Express yourself has to be one of the most instantly recognisable basslines and Real Rock riddim is probably the simplest and most well used reggae rythym around ..also a perfect example of how drums and bass should be one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzy Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Bass doesn't come in until the chorus, but it lifts the whole song with a dead simple line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I Could Have Lied by RHCP. Flea just sits in the roots and locks in with Chad’s kick. Superb playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozkerr Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Reactivating a zombie thread, but this has to meet the OP's criteria. Simple, quite repetitive, but this would be nothing without the bassline. That's my next transcription exercise sorted.

Hellzero Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Louie Louie by Motörhead. The original by Richard Berry having no real bass line, but an idea of what it should be. Simple and effective, just like Once in a Lifetime by The Talking Heads or Papa was a Rolling Stone by The Temptations, already mentioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) On a more serious note, my band has just started to do this song. Never heard it before it was suggested. Not a fan of the artist but i really like playing it. Edited October 15, 2019 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Electric Six at Glasgow Green many years ago. They were fab. Once went on a camping site stag do, and on the first morning we were playing some songs on a ghetto blaster (remember them?) and Gay Bar came on. There were some kids there (under ten yrs I’d say) and they started jumping about and singing along. Their parents came running over and actually covered their ears saying “you mustn’t listen!” . It was hilarious and also extremely bizarre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Is Dancing in the Moonlight (Thin Lizzy) too complicated for the thread? That’d be one for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
