Rich Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Let's Dance - Bowie The bassline IS the song (apart from the vocal line). AND it's got Stevie Ray on it. Superb tune and, being Bowie, as cool as feck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyalfa Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Went to see Simple Minds a couple of weeks ago, and they were supported by Deacon Blue. Can’t comment on Deacon Blue’s bass lines because the sound in the arena was the worst I’ve ever heard. All I could hear was an overblown bass drum and some quiet sounding vocals in the background. It was utterly, utterly horrible. For Simple Minds, they turned everything else up to match, which made it painfully loud, but at least I could get some pleasure from them playing New Gold Dream album in its entirety. That was the first album I really learned to play properly after I switched to Bass, so it was quite sentimental. Saw Level 42 the month before and the sound for that was superb by contrast. That Mark King sure can play. Mr Pink blew my socks off. Edited December 9, 2008 by Andyalfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in attempt to redeem myself, how about Into the Void by Geezer Butler, with the rest of Sabbath somewhere in the background)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Some real good lines here, but I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the classic Son of a Preacher Man (or SOAPM, as it turns up in our setlists!), where the bass has loads of space and makes the song, or Greenday's Holiday.
