The BASS thread

[DuranDuran]

No, this isn't about 808's or fishing. It's about the great bass players and/or bass lines. Here is one of my all time favorite songs with Janice Marie Johnson on the bass.

great!

I love Stuart Zender (Jamiroquai) and Rhonda Smith (Prince)

I actually got a bass last weekend and started playing it!

As for the bass lines, I love the one in MJ's Get on the floor, and most of Jamiroquai songs bass lines!

I think that's Louis Johnson.

^^^Speaking of George Michael, many people don't know he played the bass on Hard Day and some of his other solo songs. Deon Estus was the bassist on most of the Wham! songs.

I really like Paul McCartney's playing on Silly Love Songs. It's one of my all time favorite songs.
