I prefer the slightly tapped bass line of Hairspray Queen over Lounge Act.

Keep thinking of a lot of basslines from Bolt Thrower but most stem from the guitar riffs which can be catchy as hell 8)

Alice In Chains - Rain When I Die has a deadly bass intro.

Vinum Sabbathi by Electric Wizard and Love Song by The Damned.

Three Days by Jane's Addiction isn't metal but has some tasty bass.

'Tommy the Cat' Primus, loads more in the Primus discography I'm sure, but that's one that sticks out.

Weird synchronicity: listened to that for the first time in years yesterday, in the midst of taking the piss out of the O.O. mooks up Portadown way  :laugh:

Cosmic Sea by Death comes to mind. Anything off Human really but at around the 2:30 mark, that's the one.

First one to mind has to be Black Sabbath - Lord Of This World. Absolutely incredible.

Steve DiGiorgio's entire performance on Autopsy's "Keeper of Decay" but from about 1.52 to the 2 minute mark in particular
See also: "Destined to Fester"

Disharmonic Orchestra's "Time Frame"

Gonna throw in 24-7 Spyz "Don't Break My Heart" as well for the craic, because funk metal existed wether we like it or not

Quote from: Naraka on September 29, 2026, 12:14:13 PMNirvana's Lounge Act immediately springs to mind.
The bass lick at the beginning of The Faceless - Ancient Covenant.


Lounge Act was the first thing I thought when I saw the thread title as well. Unreal.

Ministry - Leper is another class one while I'm here

Edit: I also think Primus - Shake Hands With Beef is brilliant
