[crazy-in-az]

Most of Deep Purple's "Machine Head"
Also, the Red Hot Chili Pepper's version of "Higher Ground"
Traffic- "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys"

 

[PioneerHPMLuver]

Thomas Dolby - Budapest By Blimp
Will really get those woofers pumping!

 

[electronjohn]

Donald Fagen - Morph The Cat

That whole album is all about the bass.

Gotta mention "Tomorrow's Girls" from Don's "Kamakiriad". Walt gets right down there on that one.

 

[zebra03]

Pink Floyd - One of These Days
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell

 

[noogies]

We Are Family - Sister Sledge (Best bass line of disco era in my Book)

Tut, tut -- not while there's such a thing as "Disco Inferno"!

 

[gmann77]

Elvis Costello and The Attractions - Lipstick Vogue. Bruce Thomas is the man!
The Spinners - It's a Shame. I believe the aforementioned Motown session man James Jamerson played on this one.

 

[Cactus Bob]

Leo Lyons on "Good Morning Little School Girl" or just about any Ten Years After tune for that matter.

 

[+48V]

Ace - How Long
http://youtu.be/Vo_GMMLULXw

Lead singer Paul Carrack composed the song upon discovering that bassist Terry Comer had been secretly working with other bands. Comer returned to Ace in time to play on the song.

 

[spicer]

From disco how about Funky Town. Stevie Ray Vaugh's Tin Pan Alley. Don Walker's My Ex Wife. Eagles Witchy Woman. Chambers Brothers People Get Ready. Leonard Cohen Ain't No Cure For Love.

 

[zebra03]

Not Fragile - BTO

 

[BLAH BLAH]

Stir it Up...Bob Marley...

 

[Montycat]

Herbie Hancock/Head Hunters - Chameleon

a little different than their popular hits, an obscure H&O song i just happen to be listening to right now

 

[VinylHanger]

A japanese band that no-one I know has ever heard of,
but enjoy when they hear them.
EP-4
This bass line, (5:21) is an ear worm.

Man, that site is great. Unlike YouTube, I don't have to sift through a bunch of idiots doing dumb things to find some music. :thmbsp:

 

[harman/kardon]

Renaissance live, "Ashes Are Burning"

Mountain live, "Nantucket Sleigh Ride"

 

[JURB]

Thread is TLDR so I jump in.

I like that one. In fact I would say I like the bass line better than the tune itself.

 

[petes'picks]

Stanglehold - Ted Nugent Its a bass line that makes you feel like you would be able to return an NFL kickoff running through 250# linebackers without fear of injury. :guitar:

 

[Christian B]

Renaissance live, "Ashes Are Burning"

Mountain live, "Nantucket Sleigh Ride"

+1 on Renaissance Chris. Saw them during their first US tour, and Jon Camp just went wild on that Rickenbacker.
