Iconic bass lines / parts from famous songs.
Nail Soup replied to Gray C's topic in General Discussion
From the punk or new wave era, a very recognisable one (and also good to learn when you are starting out) is PIL's 'Public Image' played by Jah Wobble. -
While I say in the previous post that I don't agree with the above, I would make an exception for stuff like "IS EVERYONE READY TO GET DOWWWWWNNNN?". If you can't think of anything better than that then maybe say nothing!

I think I'll have to disagree a bit with the other posters. If you have some good chat between numbers it will really help a lot with how well you go down. You can do it in a tight way... plan the set into groups of two or three songs, and only have chat between those groups. Many of the gigs where I've come a way with a smile on my face are when the between-song chat was good. Many bands are good musicians and the chat (and similar stuff) can be a differentiator. This applies even if (especially if?) you are a support band.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab

I have to admit to not being very aware of session players. Most music I listen to is played by a band with their own bass player. For example Gail Ann Dorsey may well be a great session player, but she impinged on my consciousness due to her star quality. The other session bassists I know are because they are a leading member of a famous ‘crew’ like Jameson.

Great new(ish) post-punk band Deadletter in Bedford Bass player out of sight in this pic but very audible (and good). Excellent band.

I've bought a few things from Coda Luton - Acoustic Guitar, an echo pedal and my beloved ukulele. Had a guitar set up there too. But mostly went in for picks and other sundries. As mentioned Coda Luton closed down... I think they just kept going until their rental term was up. I went to the Stevenage branch for a repair to a banjo..... and at collection time had to wait around a while amongst all the stock. But a roomful of guitars, basses and so on doesn't really interest me. I just go into the shop on the rare occasions I am after new gear (or a repair), look at the minimum amount of objects to make a selection and leave. I know it's unusual, but I can't be the only one... can I?

I think your point is the same as the author of that quote??? Sorry if I’m missing something.

A comment on the "if you read music then you not using emotions or expression" etc. BTW I can't read music, so I've no vested interest. I read an article in a musician magazine (may have been One-Two-Testing or something) and there was a comment: "Classical musicians use their emotions to express the music, and rock musicians use music to express their emotions". Or something like that!

I guess the poster who put Killing Joke, Mastodon and Voivoid as their top picks just forgot that they actually prefer Donald Fagen ?

Dave Roe’s Johnny Cash bass story
Nail Soup replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
So if JC’s voice was dropping, why did he want to *raise* the key? -
Brilliant song, I was fortunate enough to see Robyn perform it recently.
-
From The Doors, it would have to be the debut album for me... that really is a stone-cold classic.
-
Heard this on 6music the others day.... Adam and the Ants - Animals and Men (Peel session version)
-
Same here.... take the album as a whole. It has to be far worse than filler to get skipped.
-
Seems like a few BCers there then! I was there courtesy of @upside downer …. Thanks again for the spare ticket! It was a fantastic gig…. Very good trip down JW’s musical and verbal flights of fancy👍. And a great (and loud) bass sound to boot!

True, he was a conscript not volunteer on bass.
