Maude Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 At the moment this one, purely because I've just learnt it when I was supposed to be be freshening up on others and went down one of those rabbit holes. Not technical but a fun, driving bassline if ever there was one. The usual 'use headphones' applies. 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the most challenging, but when it locks in with the drums, it never fails to make me smile. Yeah Soul Limbo is one of my go-to basslines. I like simple basslines. Some others I always seem to be playing: - Groove is in the heart - Gangsters - Good Times - Stir it up - Peaches - Express yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyk Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Anything Chuck Rainey, some of the most melodic bass lines ever from a mainstream act in years gone by. All Bassists should learn at least at Four of Rainey's Lines,and they are not that difficult to be fair. My Old School, And Ricky Don't Loose That Number are both a crackers but i think Walter Becker played Bass on those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Blame it on the Boogie - Jacko. On a side-note, I'm not sure if this would have been his best defence... It must be love - Madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back On The Chaingang and Kid are two of my favourites to play. Back On The Chain Gang is one of my favourites too! Thankfully, it gets a regular airing at gigs. Some others that I love playing: Night Out - Ellen Foley Suedehead - Morrissey Hammer To Fall - Queen Sanctuary - the Passions Losing My Religion - REM Turn - Travis Another Girl Another Planet - the Only Ones Cover Me - Percy Sledge Up Around The Bend - CCR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
