Your favourite basslines?

You could probably pick any song off that album and it would fit right in.

You know who else is an underrated bass player? David Wm. Sims.

I enjoy the R&B/Soul and Funk percussion I get from this particular single. This song Do I Do is a little more complicated on bass than most of the other ones from this genre. It really takes awhile for me personally anyway, to master just all of the little accents on songs of this nature.

Whats Going On by Marvin Gaye has always been a personal favorite. Everyone one was excited when Marvin Gaye announced that James Jamerson would be playing bass guitar on this song. I remember reading that he actually layed on his back in the middle of the studio floor while recording the bass tracks. When I listen to it, the vocals seem to dominate the length of the song with James Jamerson accenting bass guitar along side his vocals. I doubt anyone could ever imitate Jamerson to the tee.

One of the easier songs to cover on bass guitar would be I Was Made To Love Her by Stevie Wonder. James Jamerson is on bass with this one as well. Jamerson does change rhythm a lot of separate different times on this one though! (Be Careful).

I'd never noticed that about bass in The Cure songs, but I also agree and think "Fascination Street" is great musically. Probably the bass blends in so much with the other instruments on most of the band's songs that Gallup doesn't get the acclaim he deserves.

Anything by the Flecktones, because Victor Wooten is a monster.

Nick Beggs' Bass certainly wins! Not the biggest fan of the song, but since this is about Bass lines, it seriously saves it.

...but if you want 80's with pure class and great music, Mick Karn of Japan provided some great Fretless Bass playing for some stylish sounds.
