Pete Academy Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Is in the chorus of this song, in my opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwc0AW67CmA Any more suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.i.stein Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) well, i would've put a Les Claypool vid up, but this is equally inventive, all bass parts, no geetars. see if you can recognise the sample at the start. answers on a postcard.

phil.i.stein Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) realised i'm cheating as it isn't one bass part, so in lieu of that one, i'd go for Michael Manring.

Pete Academy Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 I think when you listen to Verdine White's part, it takes you by surprise. Who would have thought of that bassline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 [color=#ffffff].[/color] Yes: Total Mass Retain (starts at 5:47) grabbed me by the balls then, and still does. Even Johann Sebastian Bach didn't do this, and he was fairly good at what he did with bass parts. Nice bass playalong here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ami8TQr6sq8[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len_derby Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 In its melodic and historical context I'd go for Sir Paul on 'Something'. Going further back, Willie Dixon's bass playing on Muddy Waters' Chess recordings. He pretty much defined the blues walking bass style (for better or worse ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did he get that from? [/quote] Story goes that Norm saw a Jaco Pastorius gig and came up with a line in a similar style, a great bassline as is "What a Waste". I've always liked this one from Sir Horace Gentleman, has a sort of turned around inside out feel to it: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoCNQTuQkc0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoCNQTuQkc0[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Not sure how inventive it is, but this bass line/riff makes the track for me... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6XqBEhK5aA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6XqBEhK5aA[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.i.stein Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 for pure off-beat simplicity instead of harmonic/rhythmic complication, i would never have thought of this ... but i love it.

I think this was pretty damn innovative at the time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25DXcFg1TFo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru8bH9XXTfk One of the most inventive rhythmic tricks here. Don't think its in a different time Sig. comes in at 45 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmsheep Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I would say that this is pretty inventive. OK, not as "in your face" as some of the other stuff mentioned, but still pretty inventive when you can hear it in the mix (and nice to hear Mr Deacon venturing up the dusty end!!)
