essexbasscat Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) The list changes every week for me, but often includes a lots of what's already been said. But one that is always welcome is 'Midnight Train to Georgia' sung by Gladys Night, with bass played by Bob Babbit (I believe). The bass line is just about everything other than the root notes, which are generally avoided like open manholes. Love it for that alone. But's it's also just about as melodic as practically anything Mc Cartney ever wrote IMO and there's very few songs of that calibre for me. Here it is Class and style.

achknalligewelt Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Girls and Boys - Blur Something - Beatles Town Called Malice - Jam Man Sized Wreath - REM Breathe - Pink Floyd Keep The Customer Satisfied - Simon and Garfunkel Basically, anything played by Alex James, Joe Osbourne or Mike Mills. I love the sound of Chris Squire and JJ Bunel's playing, but can't do it, so I make it up. That's fun, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 This bassline is just "it" for me, and the classic Kubicki tone there is very nice too. Probably my favourite Stuart Hamm song, and the bass solo is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hmmm... this has made me realise just how weirdly eclectic my music tastes are! Anyway, off the top of my head I'd pick: Brown Paper Bag (Roni Size) The Day Everything Became Nothing (NoMeansNo) Call of Ktulu (Metallica) ... all very different, but I love playing each for various reasons.
