On the back of the "best guitar riff" lets talk bass lines
When we talk bass guitar the usual suspects pop up.
Flea,rick james,les claypool,cliff burton,john entwistle to name a few
But what song has a really killer bass line running through it
RHCP-black eyed blonde(any early chilis song tbh)
Chic-la freak
Any early 70s funk disco sing usually has a funky slap bass line in it......any more bass lines?

Led Zeppelin - The Lemon Song.
A real master of the bass is John Paul Jones. |

Correct, done with a modified acoustic guitar and processed to drop it by a few dB to achieve the bass sound.
Which in itself is rather clever and intriguing.
All covers have been done using a bass guitar, it is far simpler. |

Not their most well known track, but when I saw this on Whistle Test in about 1986 it hit me like a hammer!
New Order "Sunrise"
Like a lot of Hooky's stuff, it drives the song and is the main melody, Bernard just plays simple chords over it. Worth a listen

"Can't believe that nobody has said Public Image by PIL Jah Wobble may be a bit of a dick but it's a perfect example of how a simple but strong baseline can make a good song great"
Totally agree |

I don't claim to know very much about music but in my humble opinion, I Want You Back by the Jackson 5 is a good one. |

Although played on a synth, the bass line on Biffy Clyro's Born on a horse is good.
The bass play for The John Butler Trio is also pretty good.

They were live in Nottingham one night in 89 and they did LFO. Made half of the people on the raised dancefloor sick with the vibrations .
