Your favorite bass album
 

Not the fish silly, the instrument.

This morning as I was heading towards my favorite east coast UDL, I popped in Joe Jackson's "Look Sharp" followed by JJ's "I'm The Man". Both feature butt kicking bass. In additon, Rage's "Battle of Los Angeles" gets a lot of play in my vehicle. Its got mega bass. :lama:
Lets hear it from the S-B audiophiles. When you are looking to loosen some fillings,:nopain: what album do you reach for first?

Old School RUSH

OLD >DEEP BLACK >>>>B L U E S ><><><

The Who - Quadrophenia

The Real Me just kicks on the Bass

Look Sharp is a Kick A$$ Album

Anything by Cream! Anything! Jack Bruce is one of the most melodic bass players ever!:kewl:

Maggot Brain - Funkadelic

Any project Les Claypool is working on. I love that slap and pop chit.
Flea is pretty cool too.

for technical bass playing, anything claypool or wooten.

for a little cavity rattlin' there are some great tracks on beasty boys license to ill.

and of course phil can drop BOMBS

thats what I'd have to say..."The Real Me"...is a bass nugget
"Give it away"..R*H*C*P....I love BLOODSUGARSEXMAGIC

not an album....but ya gotta love Victor

good call on the BBs- although not "real" bass playing, Paul's Boutique is a speaker blower. I need to break that out. My kids will dig it.

Not an album, but the "Cliff Em All" video tribute to Cliff Burton is pretty cool and has some real nice bass playing. Another one who died way too young.

As mentioned before, anything by Les Claypool is good.

couldnt have said it better myself.

allmans

Ya beat me to it. Good ol' Geddy Lee.

:btu:

Better than the old Rush albums is the same music recorded from the last few tours. Geddy's bass sound is as evil as can be and the recordings are excellent. Check out R30 to see what I mean.

Old standards like 2112 and Working Man sound a lot better live.

-spence

Anything Maiden,not many out there better than Steve Harris.Cliff Burton(before his untimely death) from Metallica absolutely shreds the bass on "bass solo,take 1" off the Kill'em All album.

No doubt. I have a bunch of the mid to late 70's wall of sound stuff and it really thumps.

Anything with Flea also kicks.

gotta agree with the phil phans, he can knock you down live with some of his riffs, gonna try to go see him this weekend, Bootsie Collins can rip it up too

Joe Jackson's, Graham Maby is fantastic on bass. Check out this live album http://www.jj-archive.net/albums/sc.html

I absolutely love Quadrophenia, one of my top album's of all time. Highly underrated. Bass is awesome

For me anything Jaco Pastorius did was pretty darn impressive.

Jaco Pastorius Big Band album called The Word Is Out! is one of the best albums I have heard in the last few years. Unfortunetly he is dead and couldn't play on it but the who's who of bass players, Richard Bona, Jimmy Haslip, Victor Wooten, Will Lee, etc. payed homage to him and preformed the music Jaco composed and it is stellar stuff.
So many styles, so many albums, so little time :grins:

song is "Cold Cuts" Albert Collins band ,,killer bass solo...

did you ever really listen to James Brown's "Sex Machine " ? Bootsie Collins bass part is stop ,,go,, funky all over the place.. ears always focus on the bass on that one .. try following it ..

Fishbone- Truth and Soul

Led Zeppelin II- Lemon Song and WIAWSNB are ridiculous. Best rythym section in rock history.

Any Bob Marley disc, or any roots reggae for that matter will loosen the fillings.

Any GD Soundboard from May 1977 is a sure winner. Gimme the Scarlet intro from 5-8-77 Cornell all day!

Tal's an absolute monster on the thunderbroom. Little %$%$%$%$'s 5 foot nuthin, a hundred and nuthin' and she brings it like nobody's business.

just love phil on "eyes" -wake of the flood album.....he goes ape at the very end.
