The Best Basslines Ever?

[zen5887]

There aren't many words I can say to accompany this video. Cliff Burton is God, you will worship.​

I have a few words.

To much distortion

I love Cliff, I think he was a great player (Orion is awesome!). However I really reaaally dislike his solos.

Clearly this is the epitome of awesome.

I agree he needed to tone down his distortion a bit, but the actual melody of both his song lines and solos were usually exceptional.

]Hysteria by Muse

Ha! I clicked on this thread hoping that someone would say Muse. My cousin plays that bass guitar! XD

Oh wait, this is the internet, which makes me some random lying twat. *roll eyes*

 

[UnearthedArcana]

That or anything else he's ever done. Seriously.

 

[Kirky]

Pretty much anything by the Chili Peppers I suppose.

Flea's got the skills.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

Kasabian's drums are awful. He hits the same two notes for the whole damn song.

I'd say this

 

[ShakyFiend]

Just incredible

 

[stone0042]

Anything bassline that I play on my tuba

 

[MalevolentJim]

]Hysteria by Muse

I agree.Other songs i would include

Souls Of Black - Testament
Longview - Green Day

and as a cop-out..Anything by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

 

[smudgey]

How do you pick just one? screw it, i'm going with....
Jaco Pastorius come on, come over

 

[Agrael]

Any Iron Maiden song.

 

[Elburzito]

Either:All together by the Beatles(simple but fun to play)
or Genghis Khan by Iron Maiden

[johnnyjazz]

i have played a lot of bass, and throught the years i must say jaco´s music is the most genius.

 

[pelopelopelo]

Fleetwood Mac's The Chain, Peaches by The Stranglers, and for a dose of more modern winnery, this:


FILTHY FILTHY

 

[Fenby]

[Spookboy666]

I'm gonna have to go with this:

The solo starts at 1:38

Nekromatix are awesome and I think we've forgotten here the glory of the upright bass and how awesome it is to play slap on it.
