Cool Bass riffs
« on: 1 Jun 2018, 10:09 pm »
I like songs with cool bass riffs one song that comes to mind but isn't nearly long enough is 'Your Love is like a Rainbow' by Country Joe & the Fish at Woodstock. Kind of a funk bass.

Are there any other cool funk bass songs?

I've always admired songs where the bass does more than C-G-C-G-...

Chris Squire was great at creating a riff that supported the song and had a life of its own.

The early Jackson 5 songs were completely driven by the bass riff.
