An audacious bump, this.

For a recent continental road trip, I got a copy of Simple Things by Zero 7. Track 1 has an effortlessly cool bassline IMO:

Top bumping Kiteless!

Just gone through the thread and didn't see:

Also, Kraftwerk live. Youtube and iTunes cannot do justice and live, even more / better / harder bass. They absolutely rocked Sonar!

If You Want Me To Stay by Sly and The Family Stone.

Great song MADE by the bassline.

Larry Graham is just the DADDY - his intro to Earthquake is IMHO one of the best rock riffs. Pity the rest of the track cannot live up to it!

[singlecoil]

Paul McCartney's bass line on Rain is rather superb.

Not sure if the "best" but my favourite is Lucretia My Reflection by The Sisters of Mercy closely followed by two Lemmy efforts from his Hawkwind days, namely "Brainstorm" and the inimitable "Orgone Accumulator".

[Justin Cyder]

Is there anyone here & by here, I mean this forum & not just this thread who isn't a white, middle aged Anglo Saxon?

A whole world of music & apart from me, barely a mention of soul, jazz, African - which is usually really involved stuff. A teeny bit of funk - Sly & the family which is pretty crossover, Weather report for the MOR boys.

Where's the Stevie, Roy Ayers, Earth Wind & Fire, Fela Kuti, Amadou & Mariam, Luther Vandross, Gill Scott Heron, Marvin Gaye, Rick James, Chic???

Only a leg pull, but Jazz funk, soul & black music in general has some of the killerest bass lines in creation

[lockhart flawse]

Don't know what you're talking about. Never heard of any of that lot. Disco Inferno is about as far as I go down that particular road.
