Catchiest Bass Riffs

[Mcidraque]

Inspired by the "catchiest guitar riffs" thread. There are so many out there but I'm gonna start with this. Real artist simplify (and if you disagree go tell The Stooges about the single piano note they played through the whole I wanna be your dog song)



show me your favourites!

[Skateboard Shuffle]

John Taylor 



And Peter Hook has too many to list.

these threads are a blast and these are all great--especially "Disorder." also, i can't even believe i've ran across someone else who liked/likes the Thinking Fellers Union Local 282...i haven't thought about them in a while, so thanks @skate_or_dingus

i feel like i bring Shellac up a lot lately, but this is the very first song that came to mind when i saw the thread

Never enough Steve Albini/Bob Weston related content if you ask me :-). His stuff with Mission of Burma is amazing as well.

Big thank you for the Lync song, never heard of them before and kinda surprised they were released through K records. Kind of harder sound for what i associate with the K camp. Gracias for the tip!

And Peter Hook has too many to list.

so true as well.

Also cheers to other pals bringing up bands i'd never heard about. Keep diggin' amigos!!

[Dante Bichette]

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

[Resident Jeff]

glad you dug the Lync @Mcidraque , they are one of my favorites and i return to These Are Not Fall Colors regularly to this day.

actually, speaking of Lync, i also love this bass riff (i think that's what you'd call it)...there's something desperate about it that speaks to me

Maybe you don't think it will, but we know help will..."

So good man, downloading These Are Not Fall Colors as we speak 👌🏻

Stoked that Kim Deal finally made her appearance in the thread hehe, now just patiently waiting for someone to add a song with Kim Gordon shining on it.

Cheers 🍻 !!

In the synthetic department, but you said catchiest



pretty much anything Cymande



Hey, are there any skateboarders with us here tonight? Thought so.

[Mcidraque]

Wrote “bass riffs” for lack of a better term (Spaniard here so my English is kinda limited sometimes hehe) so synth etc more than welcome as well! (Also Cymande simply cheff kiss. Probably in my top 3 bands to wake up to :-) )

Cheers!
