Epic Basslines?

Tristesse · 02-12-2012, 02:44 PM

I have a gig tomorrow night with my band, and I want to play a few epic basslines for the soundcheck. Seven Nation Army is on my ideas list, but I thought I better ask the music expert community. That's you guys. Any suggestions?

I think Kevin Barnes has written more of my favourite basslines than anybody else. Gronlandic Edit is a classic example.

Royal Trux - Fear Strikes Out

Get this song. Epic bassline for 4 mins.

Talking Heads had some great basslines that make you want to hit the floor and make an idiot of yourself.

Another one Bites the Dust by Queen is a pretty funky and catchy bassline, I'd start off with that.

The Awakening ... Les Claypool's version, or the original. If you can

Just pick a superb Les Claypool riff or something.

I'm not sure what your limits are.

SO true. We could make a list just of Heads basslines. All of Talking Heads 77 is good!, and a first album too. At least check "Uh-Oh Love Has Come To Town".
