miles'tone Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1497031275' post='3315475'] Hey - would this guilty pleasure of mine by the Stone Roses earn a place on this list? http://youtu.be/ct-qa6SjRZo [/quote] Yes, and this will always be one of the best to me as it was the bassline that made me NEED to get a bass and try to be a musician for the first time. It's the bassline that got me started. Priceless. http://youtu.be/vY9g-PgSiGA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfrasho Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 [quote name='missis sumner' timestamp='1496167293' post='3309310'] This. Shivers down my spine when I first heard the bass, which, embarrassingly, was only recently. I also like a bit of ABBA as well though... [/quote] This is up there. This was on a list from a recent dep I did... it was on the 'absolutely no chance' pile! It could easily go unappreciated but it's a master piece of feel and groove!

The bass player (whose name escapes me) was brilliant. They did a one of big a few years back that was on the telly and the tone he had was just perfect.

Al Krow Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) [quote name='tinyd' timestamp='1497089267' post='3315758'] Great bassline! Worth re-posting this I think.... [media]http://youtu.be/IBWY8oAnnww[/media] [/quote] Thanks for reminding us of what a superb little bass line this is! I think in the original they play the riff on a 4 string with a drop D, but it clearly lends itself to a 5 string without needing to de-tune. I was wondering whether I would be able to manage this without a pick - I think it's just about do-able; and as T-Bay alluded to, it is darned catchy! And adding a bit of overdrive and an octave up just fills it out nicely But as well as loving the simplicity and drive of this iconic bass line I can't get over just how much I love that TONE in the YouTube clip!! Please someone tell me what rig / effects Trevor Horn is playing through to get [i]that [/i]bass tone?!!

Skol303 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 It's cliched to the hilt, but it has to be Good Times for me. That bassline [u]is[/u] the song. And to some degree it was instrumental in the birth of hip hop. And it's funky as hell. And fun to play. Too many boxes ticked for it not to be at the top of my list.

He sends the lows to one head and the highs and FX to the other. He says there is no point in having the FX on the low channel. Sounds blindingly obvious with hindsight. That's why he's a major producer. He is asked about his rig in one of the two clips that follow. Sorry I can't remember which one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm1fH_csOX0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFwHcz9k8mM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
