Not too hard but it just shows that you don't have to throw tons of notes in for a bassline to be just sublime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, it drives the song along nicely, in both versions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevsy71 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 One Way Street - Nine Below Zero Runaway Baby - Bruno Mars Back in the USSR - Beatles ...always give me a smile when I see they are next on the setlist. And some I love playing in isolation but can be cramp-inducing: Treat Her Right at battle speed, and What'd I Say (Ray Charles). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Runaway Baby is surprisingly fun, I agree! Particularly when you're jousting with the guitarist for exactly the same bit of sonic territory - I got mine cracking up by trying to play the bass line an octave above him but found I'd run out of dusty-end fret board 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el borracho Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Not one I've played recently live but I always loved playing this one. Can't find any footage of Paul Jeffreys actually playing it as the whole band left about the time this was released - all performances seem to be session musicians. Sadly he died in the Lockerbie disaster. Edited March 1, 2019 by el borracho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Master Blaster Jammin is another bassline that I absolutely love to play along with. Again, not too challenging but a great bassline nevertheless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
