In a similar fashion - Chas n Dave at Knebworth 1979. I felt sick due to the bass in the chest!

Anyone mentioned Mountain Song by Jane's Addiction yet? If not, then shame on you all!

[zax]

Fishbone - Bonin' in the Boneyard.

Best bassline ever. Sadly all of the YouTube clips are utter crap for sound quality, but Spotify has it...

[rumpelstiltskin]

I was listening to the radio the other day and before reading this post the bassline of a song that came on the struck me as being great,although i hadn't particularly paid attention to it before.House of Fun by Madness,quite an active little bassline if you listen to it.

journey to the end of esat bay - rancid. cant access youtube here so you will have to search for it. find a live version if you can, and yes, he is playing it with his fingers....

[ratbane]

Great bassline by Entwistle, played and sung by the mighty Geddy Lee:

Brown paper bag... Sir Roni

Good call, but the one for me is Double 99, Ripgroove. I remember hearing it through a massive club system when I was 15 and it blew me away.

[carmadgaz]

I keep getting Greenday's Hitchin a ride bassline stuck in my head so I'll say that for now!

[Forthright MC]

One of Geddy Lees finest hours!,

Awesome rythm work on this song!

[Forthright MC]

While i'm at it, must add this too, Larry Graham, the inventor/originator of Slap Bass grooving along,

[CommanderJameson]

Just listening to Anthrax's cover of Got The Time by Joe Jackson.

Stunning fourstringslinging by Frank Bello!

[ratbane]
