I was gonna say Glide and Miss You. I dig Stevie's version of Higher Ground: the Peppers' version has kickass bass, too.


I gott mention Instant Funk's I Got My Mind Made Up. It's the inspiration for this thread.

Great list, pali. I haven't heard a bunch of songs on that list.

paligap said:

so does jimi play the bass himself on "manic depression"?

jacktheimprovident said:

no,but he played bass and lead guitar on "all along the watchtower". at the time him and noel redding had some kind of disagreement when they were doin a session, so noel got mad and left....

don't get me started on tina weymouth again...

listen to any talking heads song and pick out the bass part...it's like she's in her own universe. love it.

Anx said:

"once in a lifetime" is the one for me cause the rhythm is just it's just so fuckin tight....

diamondpearl1 said:

Anx said:

I'm gonna assume that's Tina on Genius of Love?

Not one song i put on those comps for you?

Btw, thanks for telling me you were changing accounts!

Romera said:

dammit, you had me scurred! i thought you left for good again...

Romera said:

Indeed...that's her bass and her voice (with her sister...or sisterS, i forget which)...and the guy screaming "JAAAMES BRRROWWN" is chris franz, who is the drummer for tom tom club/talking heads, and tina's husband.

nice avvie by the way.

sinisterpentatonic said:

Oh shit. I'm sorry.


Those songs in the compilations you put together I love more for the electric and not the bass.

Romera said:

well, you need to revist the broken woofer disc and take out all of the treble in your stereo.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I started to but why hurt myself to stop dealing with the assholery on the Org?

I'm just on Org hiatus from the rest of the place except here, my favorite forum.

Anx said:

Thanks, anx.

sinisterpentatonic said:

I'll do that tonight and come back and prbably change my entire list.

I'll be thinking of you when I'm seeing BB king Friday night, Sin.

diamondpearl1 said:

Yeah, I wasn't sure about that myself...they claimed that Jimi often did basslines himself in the studio, but I was never sure which tracks...

paligap said:

Aud could probably tell you better than I, but I'm pretty sure most, if not all of the times Jimi did play the bass parts himself were on Electric Ladyland when he was having his disputes with Noel.
