Angel Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I'm not a dyed in the wool bassist like many of you lot. I'm a multi-instrumantalist who plays many things equally badly. I'm mentioning this because I don't particularly focus on bass playing when listening to music. Every so often (not that often!), I hear something I haven't heard before and the bass playing just leaps out at me in an inspiring way. Needless to say, I have just had such an occurrence. I was listening to an American jazz show and this song came up - Shakatak 'Endurance'. Thank goodness for Shazam! We all like different things so maybe no-one else like the track, but personally I can't wait to get home and dig a bass out! As an aside, if you feel led to, why not post a song that the bass playing has inspired you recently .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I could post a link to Murder on the Dance floor - but the lockdown licks video is more interesting. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 @Richard R Hey, thanks for sharing that! I never realised that Guy Pratt is such a delightful guy. A total natural in front of camera as well. I shall be checking out more of his videos. Great bassline as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Just about everything that involves Justin Chancellor playing (Tool). And this, from 1968, by the Danish band Savage Rose (Jens Rugsted on bass): Edited March 1 by Baloney Balderdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
