Greatest bassline of 1992

[Eldon Tyrell]

Last week, I started the "greatest bassline of 82" thread - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/501289-greatest-bassline-of-1982/ 

It attracted some really good posts. Thanks for the great contributions 👍

 

Instead of starting the "greatest bassline of 83" thread, I decided to jump 10 years ahead and start the "greatest bassline of 92" thread instead. I was a kid in 82 and an adult in 92, so I came across more great songs and basslines in 92 than in 82. Here is my personal fav. For me, it is not only the greatest bassline of 92, but of the whole 90s, and, I know some/most of you will disagree, one of the greatest of all time. I am a huge AIC fanboy, so I am obviously biased 😉

This is the sort of bass I was listening to in 1992 - Animal Behaviour (the following track) also pretty awesome - Bootsy Baby!

 

 

More Bootsy:

 

 

 

And more jazzy

 

 

And some kids...

One of my fav basslines to play, nice and melodic

Speaking of melodic...

Goodness, in a year that gave us albums like Angel Dust, RATM, Automatic for the People, Dirt, Images and Words, and Us (I think this was released in '92), if so this is a simple but so effective bass part.

Still one of my favourite basslines. He was excellent at glastonbury that year too

Does this count as 1992? The awesome bassline is actually sampled from a 1977 track, Bamba In Dub by The Revolutionaries

That delirious cover with the as delirious Les Claypool on bass and vocals was released in 1992.

Great stuff, who needs more than 2 strings? 😉

This has always been a favourite of mine.  I did have to check that it was released in 92, though!

[Hellzero]

 

 

Certainly the hit of that year. What a tune !

I had forgotten about that album until this summer just gone, when I stumbled across the band on Spotify and started listening to them again.

Great band/trio.

And the whole Magic and Loss album, one of the best album of that year.

 

[Hellzero]

 

 

And again it was good for metal.

The single was released in 1993,but it was a title from the album Love Deluxe from 1992...

Great driving bassline from an excellent, overlooked record.
