Favourite Bass solo

[Haynzy]

we've done greatest intro, songwriter, song, etc etc.

Now it's time for the most important person in the band.

What's your favourite bass solo in a rock song?

At the moment I'm digging Juan Nelson's solo on the live version of 'steal my kisses' on Ben Harpers live from Mars CD.

The stuff that he does on the jam in the bootlegs on the 'plearure and pain' dvd is awesome too.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hard one.

Do I know any????

There is one in a song from "The Who" .

Can I just say the intro to "Howzat" by Sherbert?

That's a bitchin bass line.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Probally "Tommy The Cat" by Primus (with Tom Waits singing). There's a pretty nifty 8-string bass solo in there.

I think the Who song you mean is 'My Generation'?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Cliff Burton (Metallica) - (Anaesthesia) Pulling Teeth
Les Claypool (Primus) - The ol' Diamondback Sturgeon

 

[nöyd]

I don't know many but Frank Bello (Anthrax) doing the intro and solo in their version of Got the Time is pretty cool.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

I suppose you could nominate pretty much anything by Primus. My best picks would be:

Jerry Was A Racecar Driver
Mr Krinkle
Over The Falls
My Name Is Mud

 

[Bastard Squad]

The theme music from Seinfield has a pretty good bass intro.

 

[HevyDevy]

Billy Sheehan's funky little number in David Lee Roth's 'Two Fools a Minute'

 

[PARRA_FAN]

RHCP intro in Around the World.

 

[hrundi99]

My Generation, and that's all.

 

[hrundi99]

Having said that, Paul Mac's bass runs in Taxman are fun.

 

[Alex28]

No One Knows - QOTSA

 

[LESStar58]

Rob Trujillo's work on the "Funk it Up" intro by infectios Grooves

P-nut on 311's "What was I thinking?"

 

[sydraider]

Anything by Cliff Burton R.I.P

The major rager on the four string motherf**ker!

 

[julian87]

Yeah, anything by Primus, probably
Jerry was a race car driver

 

[Red Bear]

Maxwell Murder - Rancid

 

[Mr. Snrub]

My Generation - The Who

 

[Mong]

Not a solo, but i love the bass in Chilly pepers song Give it away well worth specially listening out for..

 

[Nuke]

I love the bass in Queen's 'A Kind Of Magic'.

'Another One Bites The Dust' probably comes 2nd. I know there are a few bass solos that I enjoy, but I can't think of what they are at the moment.
