I love you really, you're just so effortlessly good, and I'm arthritically bad

I'm arithmetically bad though. Always miss the count in
But I order pints in pairs, so we've got to do that again soon

Re: Songs where Bass takes the lead
I realise that I'm so ancient that I'm irrelevant to these things, but here's just some of my fav bass work songs:
Beware old fart songs ahead!
I used to play them all in various bands, but now.. I just reminisce.
Van Morrison

Average White Band

Re: Songs where Bass takes the lead
Favourite bass lead ever. Andy Fraser picks up the band and carries the whole thing on his shoulders. Such fucking power and... grace.
I also find it sad how the people that usually filmed them had no idea what was happening (the way they keep filming Kossoff even though he's not doing the lead)

Re: Songs where Bass takes the lead
I had to play that tune for a friends audition many years ago. I was utterly hungover, on about an hours sleep playing that tune at 9.15am
wasn't great

There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Gov't Mule - Don't Step on the Grass Sam from the Live at Roseland album. Allen Woody on bass. It has a fantastic hook.

We’re waaay too deep into this thread to not have had “I want you back” by the Jackson 5! (Incredible bass by Wilton Felder)

Tony Levin on Peter Gabriel “Don’t give up” is a nice one too
