Train Kept a Rollin' by the Yardbirds

Paul Samwell-Smith
my brother and i were the rhythm section in a little garage band way back then. he labored over those Samwell-Smith bass parts. 'Smokestack Ligthnin' and 'I'm a Man' (live) ain't bad parts either -- when he breaks into those walking runs -- well there weren't a lot of players doing that back then

Seal - "Future Love Paradise". One of the baddest basslines ever put to tape.

"Girls and Boys" by Blur

Learned the bassline and then saw them live. The bassist was off his head and could barely play the part

Les Claypool (& the Holy Mackerel)- The Awakening

simply the most amazing bass solo I have ever heard, gives me chills every time I listen to it.

"Love Machine" by Supermax has a pretty damn great bass part as well. Maybe not the best of all times but certainly enjoyable.

Yep, and a nice phaser as well!

Without a doubt Thin Lizzy dancing in the moonlight.

Which song has your fave bass part?
