3 piece rock covers band - song ideas?

[FlyStraight99]

Hi all, I hope everyone’s well? 

 

I’m in need of some tips to fill up the attached image(s) of the setlist. 

 

What are some good songs that involve a decent bass melody for a 3 piece?

 

Myself, guitarist/vocals & drummer.

 

I love a bit of melody when it comes to the bass, handling the low end and also serving as a rhythm guitar when necessary to help out the guitarist, so I’m keen to know what songs you guys would recommend for a 3 piece that you’d like to hear a bass play in a pub setting?

 

Majority of the time I use a pick (which is shamefully preferred)

Thanks!

No Who? Check out Substitute and Won't Get Fooled Again ... two of my favourite basslines.

 

You should probably also take a look at A Town Called Malice.

 

If your band has three people who can sing (= harmony BVs) then other satisfying basslines to play include My Best Friend's Girl and Listen To The Music.

Any of The Jam’s greatest hits are your friend in this regard.
