Here it is, if you’re interested. One of my top 5 songs. One of those ones that makes me tearful and I’ve no idea why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that strikes me about this thread is that you can divide bass lines into two camps: 1 Those that really define a song and stand out a mile even without accompaniment - like Space Trucking or London's Calling. 2 Those that sound thin and incomplete without the rest of the song. Without any judgement on how they are played or what they are played on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and do one that is recognisable but not too obvious But 2 I’ve done recently have fallen flat on their face because they don't fall under either and also my playing isn’t great so that makes it even more challenging 😳 Edited August 5, 2019 by Jimothey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICbass Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 @Jimothey don’t be so hard on yourself. The main defining factor is simply if the listener is familiar with the track in question. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
