Greatest Bassline of 1982

[Eldon Tyrell]

For me, it is not only the greatest bassline of 82, but of the whole 80s, and, I know some/most of you will disagree, one of the greatest of all time. I am an 80s kid, so I am obviously biased 😉

It certainly typifies the 80s, best or not subjective but def up there

I'm even yet more smitten with Side 2 Track 2

 

 

PS the photo of Nigel used for the SBL video is so bad I didn't recognise him. Recognised the bass, obvs.....

Best bassline of the 80s? Surely this: 

 

 

[Lozz196]

That’s a good call

And the rest of the album.

Ok, if you want to stick to 1982, this is certainly one of the iconic bass line of that year:

All the album here:

And this gem:

Yep, this was also released in 1982:

Indeep, and this bass line:

Was it good for metal, yes it was:

Nathan Watts popped into 1982 for a bit of grooving fun as well.

 

 

[Hellzero]

This is a really good bass line too:

And then something really different from the rest:

Probably the first time a Boss OC-2 Octaver was recorded, a fun bass line to play:

Some great grooves around in 1982. Lukather and Jeff Porcaro certainly left their mark in the studio in the 80's.

Greg Phillinganes, Steve Lukather, Jeff Porcaro and Louis Johnson.

Edit: Sinking

Probably not the ‘greatest’ bass line of the ‘80s but this album made me want to learn bass.

Just checked was released in’85. Time flies!
