Bass Lines!
KickThatBathProf:
I really enjoy the bass line to the BSS song 7/4, especially that middle section
Also, pretty much anything John Entwistle does

My old roommate, who was a huge Talking Heads fan, told me that Byrne and Eno took her studio contributions and re-edited them to such an extent that she essentially had to learn the new basslines from scratch. I can't vouch for that statement though; can anyone else confirm/deny?
fish across face:
^ In that book Rip It Up And Start Again Simon Reynolds writes that around 'Remain In Light' they were building basslines by multi-tracking them one note at a time. I mean, if a bass line was 2 bars long they'd play the first note of the phrase every two bars for the duration of the song, go back and do the next one, etc.
But that seems insane. Believably insane with fucking Eno involved :wink: but still insane.
I wonder whether I either misread Reynolds or he misunderstood whoever he got that info from.
Ballard:
man how the fuck did I overlook this the first time around
onewheelwizzard:
I said this before, but seriously guys, maybe my favorite bass line of all time (and definitely my favorite bass intro)
