@brookdalebill ”Green Eyed Lady” is an excellent example. That baby will get stuck in your head, and it’s fun to noodle on.

Definitely one here. Including the famous bass solo.

Bass was invented so that you could play that line

And the young cops ear come off, Thank You Mr Tarantino.

When I got my first bass and amp (it was also a Fender Rumble 25) the first bass line I set out to learn was The Jam's "A Town Called Malice." Why that one:

1. it wasn't that difficult
2. it was Motown without being as difficult to play as Motown.
3. it's fun as heck to play

Give it a go (there's tabs on the net) and you will be playing a Motown-like bass line.

Catching Flies - Kite Hill Theme (Freddie Joachim Remix) is one of my current obsessions. Perfect lazy afternoon song:


Silversun Pickups - Panic Switch


Tame Impala - The Less I Know the Better


Big Data - Dangerous (official video is probably nsftdpri so seek it out at your own risk)

I heard in my head as soon as I read the name.

"Crossroads"

It wasn't in regular rotation, but we (bass player and I) jammed on it routinely.

I've bookmarked a bunch of these great songs and tried a few out. I could easily become overwhelmed but I guess do have the rest of my life to work on playing bass.

 

[El Tele Lobo]

I always thought that was the coolest tv theme song. Still do.

Agreed. Eminently hip!

I use YouTube's Playlist feature for stuff like that, eg Music Production, Reaper, Bass Songs, etc

Derek Forbes' bass lines have been stuck in my head since the 80s.
