Catchy/Iconic Basslines

[GMCGeneral]

OK, gang, the idea is this: Post tunes with easily recognizable basslines.
For my opening salvo is Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up" ft. Kate Bush.
The bassline was performed by Gabriel's longtime bassist, Tony Levin on a Music Man StingRay.

Tom "T-Bone" Wolk (RIP) joined Daryl Hall & John Oates in 1981 after the release of the "Private Eyes" album. However, his predecessor, John Siegler, recorded the album. Wolk appeared on most of the videos off the "Private Eyes" album, but it was their 1982 followup "H2O" that forever cemented Wolk's basslines in music history.

Ross Valory, along with Jonathan Cain's left hand are giving us a great foundation on this Journey classic along
with Steve Smith's iconic drum part.

Oh. So you wanna go there, huh?

 

[GMCGeneral]

Ahh Yes (Pun Intended). Chris Squire, his Rick 4001 and Rotosound Swing Bass strings.

OK, gang,

Do you mean Kool And The Gang?

"Ready" Freddie Washington, his 1973 Fender Precision Bass, and a fresh set of (you guessed it) RotoSound RS66 Strings provided this iconic slap line.

Ahh Yes (Pun Intended). Chris Squire, his Rick 4001 and Rotosound Swing Bass strings.

Plus, the way he ran his base through the guitar amps as well as the bass.

EWF's Larry Dunn was unavailable to record the "Raise!" album so Maurice went to Wayne Vaughan on keys and Vocoder.
Verdine picked up the bassline when vocals started.

Plus, the way he ran his base through the guitar amps as well as the bass.

IIRC, he also used a coin for a pick.
