I picked up a new bass this week and just today practiced for the first time with a new band. Last night my girlfriend - a former bassist herself - and I spent a long time after dinner trading back and forth on the bass playing hilarious and challenging bass lines. Highlights included: "Skin Tight" by the Ohio Players - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHLz5ZcVVLc
"For the Love of Money" by the O'Jays - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNQW-63OuE4
"Crush" by the Smashing Pumpkins - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MDdEaa3arg
"Rhinoceros", also by the Smashing Pumpkins - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53ekEHp-dNI
"Dragonaut" by Sleep (check out the Rick he's playing, too. wow.) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj9IAvv32wE ...and a bunch more. As always, I've created a Spotify playlist for this effort, happy to take suggestions there. http://open.spotify.com/user/hissnlissn/playlist/1VvpDiu32Z3...
I always got a kick out of this bassline from the nineties.
