adnan Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Rudie- UB40One in Ten- UB40Rat in Me Kitchen- UB40Sparkle of My Eyes- UB40Hell, anything by UB40. Earl Falconer is a more than unbelievable bassist. The finest bassist adult contemporary, DUB reggae, pop reggae, and dancehall music has ever seen.

Ions Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'm not sure about greatest of all time, but there's a ton of cool bass in Jane's Addictions stuff. 'Mountain Song', 'Ted...Just Admit It', 'I Would For You', 'Three Days' - I could go on. Their entire first album revolved around Avery's bass lines. Let's not forget Ozzy era Sabbath either. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzy_stradlin_sweet Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Man, all of the songs you guys are saying have awesome bass riffs, also, Funk 49 by James Gang has a sweet bassline; we covered it for a show at my school, lots of fun with that song.
