JakeBrownBass Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hey, Looking for some slow songs with some good bass playing. Got more than enough quick and funky stuff to listen to so just wondering what slow songs you really enjoy playing?? Cheers, Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickH Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 The recorded bassline isn't anything special, but the potential to improv and really get a good groove on is fantastic: Black Velvet by Allana Myles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGit Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'm partial to "Need your love so bad", especially if you play parts of the strings lines from the Fleetwood Mac version on bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexclaber Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 How slow is slow? Most of my favourite basslines are in slower songs. Sir Psycho Sexy is a nice one. Donny Hathaway - Live, is just one great slow bassline after another. As is D'Angelo - Voodoo. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
