Synth bass, and awesome to boot. [/quote]+1 more. I loved those '80's synth bass lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japhet Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Fretless was in fashion. The Pino stuff for Paul Young, pretty much anything by Mick Karn. Who did the fretless stuff foe Nick Heywood/Haircut 100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 [quote name='daz' timestamp='1331616125' post='1575838'] I remember dancing to this in Vogue night club[b]* [/b]in Chester, many a time. [b]*[/b]Great club for a time, in the early 1980s They didnt let in people [i]improperly dressed[/i]. I remember seeing two incredulous guys in suits get turned away for being dressed wrong, as a guy in a donkey jacket dirty jeans and doc martens wandered past without a look from the bouncers. Ahh bliss and karmic re payment for all the times it was the other way round. [/quote] Vogue? Which one was that? (my memory's quite hazy from then!) I used to go to Roxy Bowie night at Angels and Friday/Saturday at Olivers with my Dave Sylvian haircut and German Army black jodphurs.

Japhet Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Pretty obvious I guess. No wonder it sounded good! Here's another one; Pigbag - Papas got brand new pigbag. Great groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kusee pee Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 [quote name='41.2Hz' timestamp='1448033038' post='2912542'] Sir Horace Gentleman - pretty much all of the first album by The Specials. This is why I play bass. A special (no pun intended) mention for Nite Klub - part of my warm up to this day. [/quote] So many amazing 80s' bass lines but I'd forgotten Nite Klub. I remember learning it many years ago, an absolutely cracking line and great fun to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1448035366' post='2912582'] Although the album was released in 1979, this track didn't hit the UK charts until 1980. Does that count? Narada Michael Walden (Killer Bass line and tricky to nail). 02:50, there is a breakdown of just Bass and Drums, and the Bass really jumps out http://youtu.be/dFSB_tbHb6Q [/quote] That is bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin_lindsay Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yup, "I shoulda Loved Ya" was T.M. Stevens on bass.

lonestar Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 [quote name='risingson' timestamp='1331504340' post='1573984'] Don Henley - New York Minute. Cheesy, cheesy as anything, massive guilty pleasure but one of the best fretless bass parts on record. Pino Palladino at his finest.
