BASS
« on: October 13, 2022, 01:18:41 am »
It took me many years to realise that for most of the music that I liked, the bass guitar was often what made it stood out. Lying, sometimes quietly in the background setting the tempo, sometimes out there at the front. A thread to celebrate the under appreciated Bass, guitar or otherwise. 


Here are a few to start


Ian Dury and the Blockheads-Hit Me With Your Rythym Stick (Norman Watt-Roy)

Love bass driven tunes and Kim deal always comes to mind. So many pixies tunes and the breeders cannonball being her most recognisable.

My favourite bassline is Rogers Waters bass on Echoes (I prefer the live Pompeii version) when it goes to the jamming part, love that bassline and Gilmour alongside complimenting it being a guitar god.

I just watched "Some Kind of Monster" (the Metallica documentary) and my favourite part is the bass auditions.

Favourite bass parts? Anything by Hooky and "Guns of Brixton" by Paul Simenon.

Brilliant thread.
I've loved the bass for years. There's an enormous amount of the lovely twang throughout loads of 80's music, mostly unheard by the unkeen listener :)

The pop version of Stanley Clarkes Heaven Sent is brilliant, but the subtleties of his excellence are seen here in the studio mix.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/JsVbPlacOLM" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/JsVbPlacOLM</a>

Proper version here, well worth a listen.

And later in the thread we must introduce the master thrapper - Mr Mark King. A magnificent bass player.

I too would find myself being drawn to a bassline before many other elements - you can almost forgive some guitar histrionics if there's a good bassline holding it together. I was a huge Bauhaus fan in my mid teens and adored the bassline of Spy In The Cab - this singular repeated note played thru the whole song. Everything stripped down. Fond school memory was of friends (and enemies) berating me for liking this, when they liked Rush - proper musicians. The more they took the piss - the more I liked it.

Phil Lynott was a great bassist. Most people would probably recognise him as the lead singer but it's his bass playing that helped create the Thin Lizzy sound. There's so many of their songs instantly recognisable because of his bass. The man was a genius. This one is Dancing In The Moonlight.

Kim Deal's bassline for Gigantic was a bit of a gateway drug of mine in my youth. Still sounds glorious. I don't even need to link that one.

Similar basslines. Some suggest Tubeway Army nicked the bassline, but My Shadow In Vain predates My Sharona by a year.

A Tory, a worker and an immigrant are sat round a table. There's a plate of 10 biscuits in the middle. The Tory takes 9 then turns to the worker and says "that immigrant is trying to steal your biscuit"

My favourite bassline is Rogers Waters bass on Echoes (I prefer the live Pompeii version) when it goes to the jamming part, love that bassline and Gilmour alongside complimenting it being a guitar god.

6.26.

Echoes has taken me on some mad, trippy 'drifts' over the years.

Another Floyd piece of genius with a great bass:

Love Cannonball, one of the best starts to a song I've ever heard as each instrument comes in and it gets rolling.

Anything by Derek Forbes when he was with Simple Minds.  He plays the bass on Sons and fascination and New gold dream like it’s a lead instrument.
