StickyDBRmf Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Lotta good stuff here. When Stanley Clarke was w/ RTF, it's that snakey noodle rumble basslines that just perkolate w/ Lenny White... I Know, not a solo. The Fish. The whole thing is a Bass Solo line after line after line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Weeks playing with Donny Hathaway on Everything Is Everything, play the whole song to get into the feel or start at 8:20 for the bass solo. This was my first thought too. Perfection! But since you've posted it, I have another one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikel Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Glen Cornick's solo in Bouree, by Jethro Tull. The bass in the rest of the song is not too shabby either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1957 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I know this might seem a bit strange but have a listen to Dirty Joker by Slade. Jimmy Lea plays an unbelievably good solo in it...its based on Bach but l suppose it would be as Jimmy was originally a violinist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franticsmurf Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 This is the piece of music that got me playing bass. Listening to it on 'Yesshows', I assumed the solo was on guitar. When I found out is was on the bass, I knew I wanted to play the bass guitar in a band. It took me a few years to get there as I was playing guitar at the time. Whether or not its the coolest bass solo song - I don't know but the bass is pretty much up in the mix for the whole 20-odd minutes. (Don't worry, the clip below is just the solo). 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterMute Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Aforementioned Micheal Manring, solo bass is rarely my thing, but he takes it on to another level technically I think. I was very fond of Portrait of Tracy when I first heard it. Some of Eberhard Weber's contrabass stuff is fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice little bass solo on this one off Vivid. Solo around 2:20. Yes, definitely. So many people often focus on doug, and forget about muzz. Like you say, he was on those first two living colour albums after all, with writing credits for songs like ‘cult of personality’ and ‘desperate people’. Both great tracks 👍🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
