>>122912760link to those gigs>>122910325lemon song is one of the coolest most alpha songs ever, the way he does a tasteful new line every few measures is something very few musicians could do without sounding redundant
>>122912882Remember when Mike Dirnt played amazing bass basslines instead of just root notes like he started doing on American Idiot?
>>122912562Patrician detected
Expecting 0 people to agree with me>>122911592Most of those and justice for Jason videos overdo the bass way too much. Still a 9/10 to me even without bass
any wetton album to be honest

>>122910325https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j2xtY89-ZsNothing too complex, but the bass really makes the band's sound.
>>122913806Yep, never understood the hype. Bass lines are shit, whole band sounds like shit, must be the fake-edgy style that worked.
>>122911592KEK. Beat me to it.
>>122913806>>122915543me neither the only people ive met who unironically like primus are drummers which makes sense since they prefer rhythm to melody
>>122915670Well i play bass but am a drummer in the first place, even like this i don't like Primus.
Here's a radical idea: picking an album made by a bassist
>>122911592best and only answer lmao
DoolittleThe bass is the center of gravity of the album. It sounds poignant and great too.
>>122915677Any Fall record
>>122916113Fall influence
>>122915677>>122916130Steve Hanley rules.
>>122910325Pretty much any early NOFX album

Fun fact: the idea to make the bass that overpowered in the mix was actually lead guitarist Mick Ronson's idea.
>>122910325This Gov't Mule album is killer. it has a bunch of different bassists in honor of Alan Woody the orginal Mule bassist who passed.Here is Bootsyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1eJVo4eq4MBassists:Allen Woody ("Sin's a Good Man's Brother")Jack Bruce ("Fool's Moon")Oteil Burbridge ("Worried Down With the Blues")Bootsy Collins ("Tear Me Down")John Entwistle ("Same Price")Flea ("Down and Out in New York City")Roger Glover ("Maybe I'm a Leo")Mike Gordon ("Banks of the Deep End", "Jesus Just Left Chicago")Larry Graham ("Life on the Outside")Stefan Lessard ("Beautifully Broken")Dave Schools ("Blind Man in the Dark", "Fallen Down")Mike Watt ("Effigy")Willie Weeks ("Soulshine")Chris Wood ("Sco-Mule")
>>122911592hahaha funny xD
>>122917240>BootsyHe's so awesome. slays on that tune
>>122910325i mean technically...
Any Yes album, really. Time And A Word especially - the story goes that the producer was wearing crappy headphones and couldn't hear the bass, so he kept turning it up and up. Chris Squire plays a lot of awesome bass lines anyways, and dominates since they were in the process of sacking their guitar player.
>>122916008Fuck, I love ab67616d0000b273bff7a2153(...).jpg's self-titled album. Thanks for the rec.
>>122917665nibba what?
>>122917677Here's a radical idea: mention the artist and album so I don't have to fucking search it up
>>122910325The goat, of course.
>>122910325Red Mitchell is on fire here.
>>122917723I'm not the same anon I was genuinely confused
>>122917225Based Tony Visconti appreciator, Trevor Bolder was also very good.
>>122917240they made a movie of that that was pretty coolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUGeYOai2kM
>>122910325The bass (from a pre-Motorhead Lemmy and others) does a lot to put this one over the top
>>122917119>underrated postThis album is so good. Sheehan is a monster
>>122911592i exclusively listen to the album versions that are bass boosted, sounds much better
Audie was taken way too soon bros
Easy pick
>>122915543every member of primus is a god tier musician and they fit together very tastefully, the guitarist has this psychedelic textural sound that is rare in the 90s
To the bassists in the thread, how long did it take you from picking up the bass to becoming an ok player? I've been thinking of trading my saxophone for a bass guitar, i don't like playing it anymore.
>>1229204931 year until I was good enough to be in a band. 2 years to get actually good.
>>122917169gotta admire when old dudes dedicate their fleeting few years on weird avante gard shit
>>122920524That's not bad. Thanks anon, that actually encourages me.
>>1229204931 year basically this>>122920524it helps if you have longer fingers or a good sense of rhythm and always use your pink, personally i use a pick cause im a good guitarist which basically makes me persona non grata among the bass clan, if you wanna get into slap bass thatll take longer but personally I got just good enough to make good bass to my own songs
>>122920621>it helps if you have longer fingersI do.>if you wanna get into slap bass thatll take longerNo interest in this.>I got just good enough to make good bass to my own songsThat's what i want to/will be doing, recording music alone in my room.
>>122910325No one said Abbey Road? Paul literally invented the bass with that album
>>122912562>>122914415>>122920447My niggas

>>122910325JPJ is criminally underrated for as overrated as lz is.
pic related fink blackout, joe the lion, secrey life arabia actually have some excellent melodic bass that really sit in this perfect phase transition between the kind of funky, bouncy motown soul bass and oblique spastic post-punk / prog shit. like you hear both vibes very strongly simultanoeusly. maybe less so on secret life but still think the bass is good and melodic in that song. joe the lion and blackout however really are pinnacles of turning soul-based music into avante garde rock, the journey beginning for bowie on station to station>>122910378excellent melodic bass>>122912562excellent album for the postpunk style it innovated albeit it repeats itself a bit too much>>122917225this actually does have some very good heavy metal bass segmentsespecially love the bit where guitar and bass bpth go mental in a cream-style jam in she shook me cold
>>122911592it's metalnobody can hear the bass anyway
