Massive.

Really? I found that release to be a letdown, even though he was predicting dubstep wobble back then...

porter ricks - nautical dub

 

who's with me

me, porter ricks is my first associations with the phrase "bass line"

No one mentioned it yet (???) but it's one of the best :

I just love the "bridge" in this song...

More electronic stuff, Silver Island by Surking. Both bass line AND bass sound are IMO very good in this track.

Last but not least, a song by Yes : Roundabout. I just love the way Chris Squire plays the bass...This track is a good example of what he's able to do !

How did I even forget that one ?

full stop, one of the best

The bass lines on this whole album are fantastic:

This bass line has stuck in my head ever since I was 11. Never understood why it wasn't included on an album, one of their best imo:

I got to play bass in a Beatles cover band for a while, and Hey Bulldog was always a good work out:

This one's just fucked... it drools in your face then gives you a cold clammy slap in the dick. It bewilders, awes and cracks me up all at the same time:

And say what you will about STP, Robert DeLeo's melodic bass lines are second to none. He may actually be my favorite bassist, knows his way around the music so well and he does it so effortlessly:

Oh hey, I'm good friends with this guy's sister! I'm actually doing sound for a play she's putting on and we're rehearsing two hours from now. Are you familiar with his brother's music, Hrdvsion (Nathan Jonson)? It's good shit. I've just been scouring youtube to find a track of his with a bass line suitable for posting in this thread... Here we go:

And some Tom Jenkinson at his funkiest:

God, the bassing all throughout this album is fucking ridiculous...
