Bass Lines!

i don't really think matt freeman's a good bass player. he just pisses me off honestly.

Cherubs - Pink Party Dessert

Didn't say Freeman was good either, just noticed he hadn't been mentioned yet.


Also, forgot to put Dub Trio in my last post.

seems like matt freeman just plays root notes that the guitars are doing, but makes sure he hits every note between them on the way from one to the next.  the guy's speed is ridiculous and some of his lines are really catchy, but he really overdoes it a bit, and he's not much of a technical player.

If anyone gets a chance to listen to Penny Whiskey, take a listen to their version of "White Hare of Howden". Very nice bass playing.

I'm pretty sure this hasn't been mentioned in teh previous posts (altho, I was just skimming), but

The Horse by A Wilhelm Scream off their album Career Suicide has a truly bitchin bass line.  It's solo'd during the opening vocals, and then mimicked by the guitars in the middle of the song.

i'll second this.  hell, pretty much every song on career suicide has amazing basswork - brian is a fucking machine!  they played a coupla new songs when i saw them last month, and one of them featured a mental bass intro.

oh man, I would love to see them live again.  and I'd actually buy a shirt next time (was kinda broke previously )
I absolutely cannot wait for their new EP and album.  So psyched for new Robinson Bass Lines, he's so awesome (have you heard him from when he was in The Fullblast?  He's not bad there, either)
