    Shreddy basslines?

    Please recommend some fast and complex bassline songs.

    Thx.

    You're gonna have to be more specific than that.
    You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
    Whilst you can only wonder why

      Songs, with complex fast basslines. That do NOT involve noodling circles around the root note of 2 chords from the chorus,

        Rush - YYZ and Dream Theater - Dance of Eternity have some interesting parts in them.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

              Much of what Billy Sheehan did with Richie Kotzen is more than the average bass goodness.

              And pretty much any Dream Theater track.

                The first that comes to mind for me is:

                The bass part is fantastic !

                      Is that a girl or an extremely convincing jrock trap?

                      Anyway, regardless of gender, the guitarist has the intimidating fretboard acrobatics... all the bassist has to intimidate with is sheer string count (largely unused, get a 4 string and tune to BEAD dude)

                        He switches to 4 string in later songs.

                        The girl is Hal-Ca and she's 15.

                        This is her with Yoshiro and Saki from "mary's blood" on either side with Tomo-Zo of "gacharic spin" in the white.



                        I guess it's time to lay "kareem's footprint" on this thread considering the thread title.

                          There's hope yet for millenials.... just not on this side of the planet. Lol.

                          Although when it comes to music stuff, there's always something awesomER hiding somewhere in Japan.

                          Especially with bass. They like their wicked basslines over there. So much so that it's hard to keep track of who to pay attention to....

                          Hmmm.... Japanese bands with involved bass? MUCC had some pretty complex stuff, who else?

                            Check out the cd by Billy Sheehan named Holy Cow! Entire cd kicks ass. The entire thing has the bass in the forefront because Billy is a bass playing master and can shred his ass off.
