ezbass Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I recently changed my ringtone from The Who's Baba O'Reilly to something more suiting my instrument of choice, to wit, Stanley Clarke's School Days. Now I don't receive many calls and had pretty much forgotten that I'd made this change. I just had someone ring me and that classic opening made me smile massively. Anyone else got a bass centric ringtone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Not myself, but I did help my friend set up [i]Lost Johnny [/i]by Hawkwind for his ringtone. Only trouble is the little speaker struggles to reproduce Lemmy's thick, heavy bass tone so he never hears the bloody thing ringing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coilte Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I'm an "old school" kind of guy in that I dont like ring tones. I prefer the old, ordinary, boring... "ring ! ring!" If I want to listen to my favourite bassists/music, I have my hi fi, ipod etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbayne Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I have The Beatles Hey Bulldog on mine. It starts with piano and then the bass comes thundering in. I agree about the little speaker though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeh Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I have a Biffy clyro tune for my ring tone, 'living isn't a problem because every body dies'. Then a funk slap thing from zedge as my text alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesparky Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I have had the bass riff of wake up by RATM and also summers in bloom by reef and also cannonball by the breeders but you could barely hear it. It's now the bulls on parade riff by RATM or the guitar solo of wake up by RATM depending on who's calling. Text message alert is the last chord of "more than words" by extreme. I keep meaning to do a snippet of the first 6 notes of rebel rebel by Bowie as a tone too, but haven't gotten around to it yet. When the wife calls it's the synth bubbly intro to fireflies by owl city as that came on the radio as I drove to our wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehux Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I have the Magic Roundabout theme tune as my ringtone. No bass, but it does make people of a certain age smile when they hear it go off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] And consider the tone ................. lowered!! Not a bass tone as I could never hear it in the workshop where I work so I have the intro to 'Dead Skin Mask' by Slayer, that cymbol can be heard above a surprising amount of noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I used to have the bass riff from Beck's Minus (Odelay album), but my ancient version of Android doesn't let you use a custom ring tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
