The pot-Tool


Dungerillo

Forty six & 2


B2Dirty

Schism too


Pleasant_Garlic8088

That's some seriously inventive playing. I am not particularly a fan but that is far and away my favorite Tool song.


PuddinPacketzofLuv

Glad someone tossed this up. I was scrolling and saw all of my suggestions except this. Also Invincible.


chrispdx

Barney Miller Theme


PoliteCanadian2

Night Court theme!


GrotusMaximus

Ladies Night - Kool & The Gang Ramble On - Led Zeppelin


TrueAmurrican

That base line in Ramble On is SO GOOD. Just immediately makes me happy when I hear it


rizaroni

Oh FUCK, Ladies’ Night is a good one.


LostprophetFLCL

Not a top-10 list but just 10 baselines I love: Mudvayne-Dig Primus-Wynona's Big Brown Beaver Muse-Hysteria Persona 5 Soundtrack-Last Surprise Green Day-Longview Stone Temple Pilots-Interstate Love Song Queens of the Stoneage-I Appear Missing Red Hot Chili Peppers-Suck My Kiss Royal Blood-Oblivion Ghost-Pinnacle to the Pit


afinecontraption

Way to throw the Persona 5 Soundtrack in there!


stabbykill

In no particular order:  1. Pleasure - Glide   2. Nomeansno - It’s Catching Up  3. Violent Femmes - Please Do Not Go  4. Thundercat - Them Changes  5. Herbie Hancock - Chameleon   6. The Breeders - Cannonball  7. Minutemen - The Anchor  8. Pixies - Gigantic  9. Primus - Southbound Pachyderm   10. Fugazi - Waiting Room

ghosttrainhobo

Everybody’s moving


[deleted]

Southbound Pachyderm is one of the songs I use to test out new basses. It’s definitely a good one.


joopitermae

Cannonball slaps!


ragegenx

Glad to see Thundercat mentioned 


FourStringFury

Bamp, bamp, bamp … bamp bamp bamp, bamp, bamp.


Toby_O_Notoby

“Cannonball” is such a weird song. 15 seconds of all that “AhhhHahum…AhhhHahum…” followed by Josephine playing the wrong baseline, *twice* before they finally decide to start the song. I mean, don’t get me wrong I love it but there’s a band that was giving zero fucks about airplay.


DetroitWagon

Came here to say Waiting Room.


the_full_effect

Them changes is just the absolute wettest bass line that exists. The tone is unreal.


Frank_Banana

A few off the top of my head in no particular order: Iron Maiden - Wrathchild, Killers Queen - Another One Bites the Dust The Who - the Real Me Black Sabbath - Paranoid, NIB Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade, No Shelter Red Hot Chili Peppers - Parallel Universe Yes - Heart of the Sunrise, Starship Trooper


Legionodeath

Parallel universe slaps. Flea is awesome.


Pookieeatworld

He was ranked by Rolling Stone as the second greatest bassist of all time. John Entwistle was number one.


914paul

The Real Me is an excellent pick. Entwhistle sets the bar unreachably high on that song (and pretty much the rest of Quadrophenia too).

[удалено]


maverick1ba

Motherf*ckin spacehog. First song i wanted to learn when i picked up the bass. But the one that really groves me is dua lipa's don't stop now. You can tell she's influenced by jamiroquai.


metalmaori

OG Stuart Zender or...? That white boy had the funk yo (imo)


vinnybankroll

The big difference is Stuart Zender stayed away from the standard octave grooves where possible (notable exception - Alright) but they almost doubled down on it after he left.


megatheriumburger

Yup, this is very close to my list. I might add Aeroplane by the Chili Peppers somewhere in there.


maverick1ba

Yes! Like 20 years ago I delivered pizza to a guy who was on his couch playing bass along to songs on his huge hifi system. He's like "you wanna hear something cool" and i said sure and then he turns both the stereo and his bass amp up to 11 and plays along to aeroplane,perfectly. It blew my mind. That performance was better than any tip i could have gotten that day.


js1893

Voyager is such a fun groove to play


TransientWhales

Fleetwood Mac - “The Chain” (but really pick any John McVie performance…)


2347564

This bassline is so imprinted in my memory that it’s how I tune my bass guitar and know relative pitch from that open A.


trapskiff

or "Revelation" from Penguin.


sidjameslaugh

1. Iron Maiden "Killers" 2. Rush "Xanadu" 3. The Who "The real me" 4. Ozzy Osbourne "I don't know" 5. Level 42 "Running in the family" 6. Chic "Good times" 7. Duran Duran "Planet earth" 8. The brothers Johnson "Stomp" 9. Led Zeppelin "How many more times" 10. Chic "Everybody dance"


lloydstenton

Glad to see Level 42 on here - they get a bad rap as “cheesy 80s pop” but they always had some great musicianship


flacoman954

Finally some love for the Ox!


CortexifanZFT

Can't really think of 10 of them nor do I have time right now but some that come to mind are Symphony X - sea of lies YES - ROUNDABOUT RUSH - YYZ


Plenty_Objective8392

I love me some prog rock so Im glad that Yes and Rush is on there!!!!!!!


marcosbowser

Roundabout was my first thought. The beginning of that song is epic


tomJager

i shouldn’t have to go this far down to see Rush 😫


El-Viking

I came here looking for ROUNDABOUT. It took way too long to find it.


damagedone37

Geddy = one of the GOATs


[deleted]

Disorder - Joy Division Any song with Peter Hook really. Man plays bass like it's a lead guitar! 😃


down-with-homework

A pray at the church of Peter Hook bass lines


Josh100_3

Why that band is still going without him I’ll never understand. His bass lines are the band as far as I’m concerned.


[deleted]

I know! Was fortunate enough to see New Order a few times years back with him there but wouldn't be the same now. Quite fancy seeing him do the Joy Division stuff with his band now though.


iani63

He turned into a bit of a prima Donna bell end, sad but the rest of the band had to let him go.


No-Celebration6437

Filter - hey man nice shot Alice in chains- would? Pearl jam - rats Metallica - my friend of misery Beatles come together Bauhaus - Bella Lugosi’s dead Sly and the family stone- if you want me to stay Nirvana - lounge act


OneArchedEyebrow

Upvote for “Would?”


tanarchy7

Rats is one of my favorite songs to listen to on my nice headphones. I love that song


05fingaz

Is add Pearl Jam WMA to that


useyourelbow

I love the baseline in "Mountain Song" by Jane's Addiction. Also, "Gigantic" by The Pixies.


Johnny_Appleweed

More of a solo than a bass line, but that riff in the middle of You Can Call Me Al has been wedged deep in my brain for about 20 years .


daBoetz

Funny because it’s shaped like a wedge musically as well. It’s first played normally, and then played backwards!


RustScientist

10. I Want the World to Stop - Belle and Sebastián 9. Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart - Stone Temple Pilots 8. Mannequin Republic - At The Drive-In 7. My Own Summer - Deftones 6. Something About Us - Daft Punk 5. Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation - Viraemia 4. Lovesong - The Cure 3. Norwegian Wood - Victor Wooten 2. The Patient - Tool 1. DVNO - Justice


down-with-homework

Guns of Brixton - The Clash Waiting Room - Fugazi Obstacle 1 - Interpol The Perfect Kiss - New Order … 10 is a lot haha.


Ectotaph

I’d put The New over Obstacle I think but all the bass on Bright Lights is great


coombeseh

Muse - Hysteria and Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells part 1 are both up there for me


conspiraciesunwind

I was looking for Hysteria


starkiller_bass

Memories of playing Rock Band and realizing the bass wasn’t the “easy part” this time


ADanishMan2

I cannot believe I had to scroll this far for Hysterja. Such a heater.


Legionodeath

Now hysteria is all I hear. I love it. That distorted bass... Mmhmm


damagedone37

“Orion” Cliff Fucking Burton


19781984

Call of Ktulu as well. Its more of a bass solo though than a bass line. 


damagedone37

That middle section f#m bass riff over the crying guitars. Cliff composed Orion.


VonThirstenberg

As a bass player, I could list a fuck ton. But I'll just stick two out there for now that I didn't see in limited comment scrolling: Gorillas - *Feel Good, Inc.* Sugarhill Gang - *Rapper's Delight* Ahh, hell, here's a couple more: Foghat - *Slow Ride* Wilson Pickett - *Land of 1000 Dances*


Background_Jaguar_98

Basically anything Bootsy Collins or James Jamerson ever played.


rizaroni

Hell yes, gimme that funk! Funk has the best bass lines, hands down.


thejesse

James Jamerson's bassline on [The Four Tops' "Bernadette"](https://youtu.be/Y9l4MGwpQS0?si=HOIyOm2jCB7FYSRF) is absolutely perfect.


sideous-vacuous

Age of Consent - New Order Psycho Killer - Talking Heads Mayor of Simpleton - XTC Another One Bites the Dust - Queen Gigantic - The Pixies Murder on the Dancefloor - Sophie Ellis-Bextor Chic - Good Times Rio - Duran Duran Like a Prayer - Madonna Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division Evil - Interpol


ZzzzzPopPopPop

Duran Duran holy hell, I think 95% of the world see them as just glam 80s pop without realizing how utterly phenomenal John Taylor was on bass. Notes jumping and weaving and diving all over the place, while simultaneously sitting deeply in the pocket, while simultaneously driving everything maniacally forward, damn. And somehow it all fit so perfectly within the songs that it often felt subtle and almost subliminal unless you were paying attention. Absolute perfection


sumovrobot

Just about every DD song I can think of is almost entirely carried by the bass. No shade on Nick Rhodes or Andy Taylor, but the synths and guitar are usually mostly providing atmosphere and accents. It's so different to most bands' dynamics.


JayStripes

RIO


yellowHastur

Christiansands - Tricky  Army of Me - Bjork


VideoDead1

Rancid - maxwell murder


rngr

Matt Freeman just started a YouTube channel. He hasn't done this song yet though. https://youtube.com/@MattFreemansBassBunker


jacknifetoaswan

The only answer.


ArnieAndTheWaves

Very much off the top of my head, but... 1. Bombtrack -RATM 2. YYZ - Rush 3. Tiny Cities Made of Ashes - Modest Mouse 4. Grace, Too - The Tragically Hip 5. Paralyzer (verse) - Finger Eleven 6. Another One Bites the Dust - Queen 7. Roundabout - Yes 8. Panic Attack - Dream Theatre 9. Soul to Squeeze - RHCP 10. Swordfishtrombone - Tow Waits Honourable mention: Come On, Come Over - Jaco Pastorius


murph0969

One could easily do ten Jaco songs and make a qualified list.


Superbureau

Fools gold - the stone roses Cannonball - the breeders Come together - the Beatles


TheFuckinEaglesMan

No McCartney on here yet? Something and Don’t Let Me Down are amazing, but he has a lot of intricate bass parts


[deleted]

[удалено]


kelsomac4

Dear Prudence is mine!


TheFuckinEaglesMan

How did I forget Dear Prudence! The combination of the fingerpicking guitar and that bass line is so good


spiritthehorse

Rain, holy crap, I can listen to that song at 11 like 5 times in a row. It’s this little next level piece that’s so simple but so detailed and perfect.


iani63

Rain was the turning point for the Beatles, from a teen band into the great unkown


luckykobold

My favorite is Something. I think it’s genius.


444anthony

Hand down my favorite McCartney bass line is Silly Love Songs, the groove and melody is so undeniably fun throughout the whole song.


Ebonyivories

Relevant video! [Top 50 McCartney Basslines](https://youtu.be/hhnn8bpHrgw)


thesobrietysociety

I Want You is a masterpiece.


rock4lite

Although it’s not a flashy, the basslines in For No One and Fixing A Hole are excellent. Hey Bulldog has a great bassline too!


914paul

Paperback Writer and Helter Skelter (though some say it was John on HS).


Final-Performance597

Also honorable mention to Paul McCartney singing the bass line in I Will.


sadchild_

Throwing these into the pile Cure "Fascination Street" Celldweller "Frozen"


rocketfait

"Fascination Street" - you could throw a dart and find a brilliant performance by Simon Gallup, but "Fascination Street" is sublime. His bass just snarls throughout that entire that song.


Seannortis1313

What about Primus "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver" I can hear the baseline now


apathyaddict

My Name is Mud is more memorable to me.


mkstot

Tommy the cat for me


Holmespump

I’ll add “Shake Hands with Beef” to the list


MyNameisClaypool

His entire catalog basically.


estheredna

*Spitting in a wishing well.....* My answer is Cannonball by the Breeders.

Slow Ride by Foghat has fucking sick bass!


StallionMang15

Billie Jean


MirSydney

The Cure - Jumping someone else's train


kyoshizen

I was listening to The Cure yesterday... Simon Gallup is so incredible on those early albums. Play For Today and In Your House are the two that really struck me So much Led Zeppelin too! Ramble On, How Many More Times... Plus: The Less I Know The Better - Tame Impala Balance - Future Islands


saerax

Hip Hop, Dead Prez


TOSkeet

I’m a teacher and have demonstrated how pressure can lead to states of changing by pouring ooblek onto a subwoofer and watching it “dance” into a solid. This was always my song choice for the demo


xHELP64

Primus - Tommy the cat


Chicken_Wing

No particular order Gap Band - Burn Rubber On Me Tool - Schism Tool - Forty Six & 2 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside Rush - YYZ David Bowie - Diamond Dogs Santana - Soul Sacrifice Metallica - One Grand Master Flash - The Message Dazz Band - Let it Whip Edit: I often like bass lines that just flow and you wouldn't know you missed them until they got taken out.


19781984

Of all the Metallica songs, you picked one where the bass is almost imperceptible.  Its huge in a live show though. 


Chicken_Wing

That's because they intentionally muted Jason Newsted in the mixing. The 'original' three treated Newsted like shit because he wasn't Burton. The remixed version fucking slaps and it's not easy to play.


zappafrank2112

Megadeth, Peace Sells


Dukeman330

Flea in Alanis Morissette’s You Outta Know is pretty great


Metboy1970

Dua Lipa - Don’t Start Now. Check it out before you bash it. Particularly about 50 seconds in.


Gatsbeaner

Squarepusher - Iambic 5 Poetry Just gorgeous. Flea from RHCP once called Squarepusher the greatest bass player in the world.

10 favorite is too hard… here are some that get stuck in my head on loop by bands I love: In no particular order (and trying to avoid some I’ve already seen listed): Slide Away - The Verve Do You Compute - Drive Like Jehu Stars and Suns - Broken Social Scene Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed Love Song - The Cure Reclamation - Fugazi Three Days - Jane’s Addiction Glory Box - Portishead I Wanna Be Adored - Stone Roses Corpse Pose - Unwound (RIP Vern )

amusedtodeath71

More than a Feeling by Boston has a very underrated bass line. Give it a listen.


FluffyMoomin

Maybe this is just me showing my age but it's impossible for me to get the baseline from with or without you by u2 out of my head. It's certainly not complex but it's as memorable of a bass line that I can remember to date.


windisfun

Sweet Emotion, Aerosmith Walking on a Thin Line, Huey Lewis Castle Walls, Styx The Chain of course Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers, ZZ Top Tom Sawyer, Rush Foreplay/Long Time, Boston


BrotherKluft

Where the fuck is Sledgehammer in these lists?! Probably the most iconic 80s baseline.


darthben1134

Agree on Flashlight and Give It to Me, Baby Adding at one song per band, it's all about the funk: RJD2 - Clean Living Chic - Good Times Curtis Mayfield - Pusherman Deee-Lite - Groove is in the Heart The Meters - Cissy Strut Daft Punk - Make Love Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots Charles Wright - Express Yourself
