Barking Spiders Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) This is one I've been working on for a while now and it's a bvgg3r to nail down. Here's the man himself playing it solo in a bass store, Julian Crampton of Incognito, The Pasadenas, Sunburst Band, Down to The Bone, Heaven 17, George Benson, Donna Summer and Paul Young among others.

Rodders Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Predictable I'm sure but I'd go with Teen Town.. 16th notes and me don't really mix that well so I've never managed to get anywhere near it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vantagepointrocks Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 As much as I'm a fan of Steve Harris & Geddy Lee and would love to master loads of their basslines. If there was one I'd like to be able to play as a party piece, that would go down well with, I think, most people, it would be, The One That I Want from Grease. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naxos10 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 For me it has to be Roundabout by Yes, the excellent bass playing of Chris Squire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last 5 years I've had cracking this as my new years resolution..... Progress is slow. Buying a Status S2 did not improve progress.

nilorius Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Donna Lee by Jaco. I learned it allready 15 years ago, but then was faster tempo - very close to Jaco record. Now i play it sometimes a bit slower, when i am sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Most of my favourite lines would be too simple or not well-known enough to serve as a party piece. So I'll go for "Good Times" by Chic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Rhythm Stick for me too. YMMV but I think it's pretty close to being the ultimate combination of Right / Left hand synchronicity combined with great groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asingardenof Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I think Rhythm Stick is my great white whale, but more realistic party pieces I want to actually be able to play are Hysteria and Master Blaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassfinger Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Not found a bass line yet that I couldn't master given sufficient time and determination, and that's with two fingers that don't work properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
