Whew, so many good ones. don't forget vaughn mason and cameo bit off of already done bass lines. james jamerson was sick with it. but only one so, I gotta go with the best R & B bassist of all time:

Peeps need to understand that the reason The Sugarhill Gang chose "Good Times" by Chic as the bassline for "Rapper's Delight" was because that was THE bassline of rap music PERIOD, no matter what party you went to from 1979 forward for some 5-7 years straight "Good Times" was the bassline that ALL MCs would rap over, DJs literally had to end up buying 4,6, even 8 copies of the record because it would SERIOUSLY get worn out to the point where you would only hear static and not words or music!!! (I went thru 6 myself!)

And for the house heads, a bassline that got mad play @ hip hop parties because the song was included on Super Disco Breaks Vol. 3 (a series of albums that ALL hip hop DJs HAD to have) it contained the seminal hip hop beat Apache as its first track, it also had the song called "Bra" by the British group Cymande.

(Go to the 2:50 mark for the break!)

When Doves Cry

Seriously, great thread. Lotsa grooves I never heard before. My vote is Thank You FalletinMeBMiceSelf by Sly & TFS.

These ones stuck in my head for a while...


Sure it's a sample, but don't know it. The liner only mentions "Blue Lick" by Bob James.




Inspired Prince's Erotic City.

Listened to this song today, forgot how great a bass line it had...

 

[Dragonfly Jones]

This thread ain't shit without some James Brown in it






Labi Siffre




Herbie Hancock

30 years later, and I have yet to hear a sicker bassline

Too many, but I'll drop this one because Ive seen bass players murder this line trying to play it through an entire song..

The burner is bassist Fernando Sanders
