Count Bassy Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 The Bass solo at the start of Handy by Wishbone Ash. Unfortunaetly the only Youtube copy of the original I can find misses it off, though there is a cover of it, which I wouldn't reccomend Quote
witterth Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 what is worth a mention is Pino P's fretless doodle on Nick Heywards middle 8 of "Take that situation" circa '82/83 I couldn't find it on youtube but ...christ..... I love that stuff!! the whole bass line "drips" groove ... Pino..........up there with the VERY best.... Quote
witterth Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 speaking of solos....I saw a little Bio Pic on John Entwistle on you tube today and it was good.features Pino in all his welsh accent glory...... I dont know how to do you tube links but put "john entwistle bio" in you tube....and enjoy the legend.......a bit emotional for me.... btw, how do you do that you tube link thing? help at a very patronising level appreciated!!!!!

witterth Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 sorry P, take that down even a level further (if you can imagine!!!!) still way above my understanding (amoeba level) about computer tech...... dont worry if ya cant go that low BTW!!!!! thanks W Quote

Which one(s) are the most well executed, cleverly constructed and beautiful to your ears? I am guessing there will be plenty of votes for Willy Week's 'Voices Inside' from the Donny Hathaway live album, Jaco's "A remark you made" and "Havona" and from the punk contingent (Wayne!) Rancid's "Maxwell Murder" I will throw in a left-field one - the gorgeous double bass solo on "Topplue, Votter and Skjerf" by Miroslav Vitous on Terje Rypdal's album "To be Continued". Here is a link to a free (slightly lower quality than MP3) version, the solo is at 1:27.

Makes me smile very time..[/quote] Same here, dude. Geddy Lee does some fantastic stuff. Other than that, just some of the songs already mentioned...The Who's 'My Generation' and Cliff Burton's 'Anaesthsia/Pulling Teeth'. It's hard to pick a favourite, tbh. Quote
Linus27 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 [quote name='samkeen' post='715523' date='Jan 17 2010, 11:10 AM']Sorry to be so samey but my vote's got to go to Vic too. So many amazing solos... I just stumbled upon this little gem yesterday, a great little solo on The Beatles' Yesterday: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcXI74PaI2w&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcXI74PaI2w...feature=related[/url][/quote] It's good but I really do not get it. Its seems like something a guitar would play, it even sounds like a guitar but its played on a a bass. Why does he not just play a guitar. Please note: Not dishing old Vic, he is a superb player but I just don't get the point of this on a bass if its going to sound like a guitar. Quote

Somebody also mentioned Brian Ritchie's solo on Violent Femme's "please do not go", another stunning, musical solo. Muzz Skilling's solo on Living Colour's "Broken Hearts" from Vivid is pretty cool as well. Quote

Sounds like the Chuckle Brothers now!! That clip does nothing for me. I can see that it is technically challenging, but I wouldn't want to listen to it and I have no desire to be able to play like that. Horses for courses!! Quote
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 One of my personal favourites is the bass solo in the cover of Overjoyed by Stanley Clarke - mind you the guitar solo that follows ain't that bad either!! Quote
Pete Academy Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I have to admit to loving this. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k3kqYDm44M&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k3kqYDm44M...feature=related[/url] However, I reckon he could make more money as an Arnold Schwarzenegger lookalike.

Saw them about 4 or 5 years ago at the Barbican I think. Really taken by his style. To say I'm not impressed by the technical ability of Marcus's solo here would be a lie. It's just that I'm so inspired by the fashion that everything else takes a back seat. Since first watching this video my wardrobe has gradually seen an influx of saggy wifebeaters and massive trackie bottoms. Also, whenever I'm on a gig with an alto sax player, quite without realising it I often end up next to him doing the same weird grooving leg dance during his solo. Quote
