beardybass Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 My first vote goes for, 'cutie honey' by Kumi Koda, the song's right cack, but the video is worth a watch... only in a 'hot Japanese girl waving her bits around' kind of way, but still. Oh yeah, great bassline too innit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanSpeeltBas Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Elton John's "Nikita" has a beautiful basspart by Pino Palladino but the song makes me go YUK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basswesty Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Ain't no doubt Jimmy Nail. A certain Mr Pratt, I believe, was responsible for this bassline. Terrible song but one of those basslines you just have to learn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 'Men In Black', Will Smith. Sampled (i.e. utterly stolen) from 'Forget Me Nots', which is infinitely the better tune. Also, Gary Numan's 'We Take Mystery (To Bed)'. The song is very average, but Pino's bass is gusset-dampeningly fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Thought Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 We used to do 'Black velvet' when we had a female singer. Hate the song, but used to like playing the bass line-shame I never had a fretless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor_of_the_bass Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 ...Micro-Kid - Level 42 - great line, awful song! Same can be said about `Tracie'!! Thinking about it, `Running in The Family' was pretty naff but a nice line! I thought David Paton (ex Pilot) played bass on Nikita...? I've been listening to `No Parlez' alot recently, one of my fave albums - the slap tone on Sex is awesome! Ku Ku Kurama - another naffish song but the bassline is stonking! Can't really believe that that album is now 26 years old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
