For some reason I can't get over this one...

[Grayjack]

[aruseusx]

Bass lines I can play
For Whom the Bell Tolls (easiest)
Number of the Beast
Peace Sells

OT- Necrobutchers bass lines. Although they were simple, they were always awesome. (Chainsaw Gutsfuck, Deathcrush, Freezing Moon, etc.)

 

[Nazulu]

The main reason I love the 'Sympathy for the Devil' song is because of the bass line. Go listen to the original studio and prepare to groove.

 

[Aunel]

wow this entire thread about bass

I feel left out

OT: The song that got me into bass playing is Burn the Witch by Queens of the stone age.
so easy to play, and so awesome.

 

[2xDouble]

Both are remixes of old songs, and are deceptively complex.

and

Yeah, they're old and a little repetitive, but some of the best bass work I've heard.

 

[AndyMcNoob]

the start of Horsell Common and the Heat Ray on the war of the worlds album

[Plank of Wood]

No-one has mentioned PF's Money yet? Don't pretend you haven't heard it.

 

[Burwood123]

Love Buzz by nirvana has a pretty rad bassline

 

[Spectrum_Prez]

Hokay, I'm back. Round two:


Youtube is pretty awful for bass quality, but this is better than the other version that's up - marginally. I really enjoy what the bassist is doing here, even though it gets a little repetitive.

 

[Gardenia]

The ending is especially awesome.
