    Which bass line changed your life?

      One of the most life changing bass lines for me was Cinderella Man by Rush. The way Geddy Lee moves around the fret board was so amazing to me. Not to mention that during a very interesting solo from Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee plays a really cool riff that keeps building on itself with ghost notes everywhere.

      Pat Travers' bass player Mars Cowling on the studio version of Snortin' Whiskey. Once you dissect it musically, you'll know why!

    By none other than John Paul Jones AKA Jonsey.

    Yes, I CAN COUNT Schism! After years of trying, I figured out it's (5+4+3)/4. Yes you can count it in (5+7)/4, but the phrases descend counts by 5, 4, 3. It just seems to flow better and fits into Tool's overall structure of patterns.
    Wolstenholme isn't human. Only a machine can play that many notes for that long.

    Life changing for me were a lot of '70s R&B songs that I heard on the radio along with Roundabout by Yes and much of the Deep Purple Machine Head album.

    Paul is so underrated as a bass composer. Nothing athletic, just perfect for the tune. Always love and study his stuff still. The small amount of time I've had in the studio, the really good tracks were somewhat by accident or chance. It's when the engineer is listening back when I walk in and overhear, "Whoa, how cool is that?" Sometimes unplanned. Then re-learned for later. But I'm not like these others in your list.

    Good ones! "Something" is a perfect example of throughly overplaying, yet it's absolutely perfect. My 5: Starship Trooper -- Chris Squier Bernadette -- James Jamerson What is Hip -- Rocco Prestia - Back in the Village -- Steve Harris Aimless Lady -- Mel Schacher

    Super Trooper and One of Us, by ABBA. Great breakdown of these 5 gems!!! Never realised the octave drop in "Something"; always played that song as a guitarist!!! Gonna have to hit it on bass now. Thank you, Andrew!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

      I was unfamiliar with "One of Us" until I played the Mama Mia show. All the bass parts were exact transcriptions and One of Us was not easy! It wound up being my favorite track to play. An amazing part.

      @@NelsonMontana1234 YES!!!!! Incredible bass line. When I first heard it as a kid, I thought, "Nah, that's gotta be synths bass, maybe a Moog". When I started playing bass, it's one of the first ones that I tackled. One of my favourites to play along with now!!! Try this one: "Mayor of Simpleton" by XTC. Let me know what you think of that one!!! :) Enjoy, Nelson!!!

    Spot on to James on ain’t no mountain high enough . I’m waiting for McCartney now. Geddy Lee . McCartney is always shows him playing a Hofner when in fact he was playing a 4001 or Fender Jazz. I knew you would pick Something. Definitely a master glass in melody .

    This list is awesome! I'm a huge fan of Steve Harris bass lines and Iron Maiden as well as Gedde Lee and Rush. But I'd be remiss if I didnt add John Logde and Moody Blues. Songs like Question or Story in your eyes and I'm just a singer...great bass lines that add so much to the songs. Under rated fir sure in my opinion.

    I'm going to go out and say it. Chris Wolstenholme is possibly the strongest bassist currently touring. If you're inclined to see them live watch how effortlessly he plays, it so casual and it rivals swiss trains for time keeping. Even in the studio he's know as a one take wonder. Hysteria is a great example of his playing. Go back to their second album and listen to the bass the whole way through. Amazing gems in there

    • @GrantSchinto
      @GrantSchinto 25 днів тому

      The opening line to “Hysteria” is pretty epic IMHO. That one alone at least makes him someone to notice and appreciate for sure.

    1:45 Because Jamerson originally was an upright bass player, he would play this line starting on the 2nd fret on the G-string, and use open strings instead of the 5th fret. He could get away with it because he used heavy gauge strings.
