Best Bass Riffs of All Time

[Deathshead]

duck on soul man, (the belushi version sounds better to me,)
silly little love songs, paul
Rutherford on "no reply at all" by Genesis, 3 cool fin lines to play.

[TBird1958]

I really didn't appreciate John Taylor's work so much at the time but he is definately one of my fave bassists...........He and Roger Taylor are great together on "Duran Duran" and "Rio" as pop goes it's enduring music, "Save a Prayer" has a beautiful bass line, amongst many others.

Can't forget Slade !

[Pilgrim]

I'm missing my own favorites from our sets!

Green Onions - great bass line.....Nice footage of a very young Duck Dunn...the bass makes this number!





Time is Tight...another fantastic bass line!  Without it, the whole number is NOTHING.  

[Chaser001]

Muse...

It's amusing when people make comments about how simple Chris Wolstenholme's bass lines are.  My response would be, come up with something as good or better, get into a band on Muse's level, then let's hear it. 

[Basshappi]

Simple is beautiful


Love JPJ's tone on this:


Of course Pino's playing on the original album was perfection but Tim Schmit does a real good job here;


ELP

I really like "Uprising" by Muse - great song!

Can't get the starting riff out of my mind.

I always loved playing this funky song.  Their drummer Woody Cunningham passed away this past January. 

[Highlander]

Berry...





(split version is slightly better quality than one I found in one piece...?)

[Chaser001]

I really like "Uprising" by Muse - great song!

Their new songs aren't getting as much attention, or at least that's the way it seems to me.  To me the new stuff is the best they've had since the "Absolution" album.

Probably my favorite Allman Brothers song next to "Statesboro Blues."

[Freuds_Cat]

Thorazine Shuffle by Govt Mule.

[gweimer]

"Knife Edge" is probably my favorite ELP song.  Simple, yet gets the statement across.

[Highlander]

Thunderbird bonus with this one...
