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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevL Posted October 23, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted October 23, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted October 23, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrunoBass Posted November 7, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
