Your favourite bass line

[GlynMo]

Difficult to pick favourites.

Almost anything featuring Tony Levin - solo, B.L.U.E., King Crimson, Peter Gabriel....

And most stuff by Brand X (Percy Jones).

Legend.

For me, just about anything from Macca, Bruce, Entwistle or JPJ.

But the two closest to my heart are the Animals: "We've got to get out of this place", and the Beatles: "Rain", because they're the ones which I cut my bass teeth on.

Some other personal favourites are, Beatles: "Something" and "Come together", Ten Years After: "Good morning little schoolgirl", Cream: "Sunshine of your love", "White room" and "Badge", Hendrix: "Hey joe", Zep: "She's just a woman" and "The lemon song", Free: "Alright now" and "Mr Big", Sabbath: "Evil woman", and Lindisfarne: "Meet me on the corner" - lovely walking bass.

Favourite bass solo: Tal Wilkenfeld on "Cause we've ended as lovers" with Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's.

Two classics, and both from before the era where anybody thought very much about the bass doing anything but holding down the bottom end.

I think what made me want to play bass was listening to one of my older cousin's records - Nivram by The Shadows.

Bit of insomnia so I've been working my way back through this thread, some really good stuff.

Here's one that a few of you might remember...

RDF - Rogue Trooper

I saw them live at the Boardwalk in Manchester circa 1990 something - great band!
