Good Bass Lines

[astfgyl]

Simple (it must be, even I can play it), repetitive, but very effective.

An absolute dinger of a tune how didn't I think of it

[The Butcher]

Megadeth - Peace Sells

Iron Maiden - Wrathchild

Opeth - Bleak (some awesome licks in here)

In terms of Nu-metal the Mudvayne bassist is way too good for that woeful band  Non-metal but Muse have a lot of great basslines.

[Carnage]

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I'm guessing other fans of Atheist and Cynic/Aghora/Gordian Knot are having too much trouble narrowing down Patterson's, Choy's, and Malone's performances to any individual tracks! 

[The Great Cull]

Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone
Def Leppard - Gods Of War
Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy
Prong - Whose Fist Is It Anyway

[OpenSores]

Let's not forget Gary Numan 'Music for Chameleons' lovely fretless bass....

[Born of Fire]

Cryptopsy - Phobophile
The haunting piano intro followed by the slow rumbling bass before launching into all out chaos hits so well

[Giggles]

Somebody mentioned nu metal a few posts back. I've always enjoyed the bass intro to Rearranged by Limp Bizkit

Mr Bungle - Dead Goon
Well, anything by Trevor Dunn too

I thought of Atheist but indeed couldn't pick an exact thing it's as you describe, more just that all of it is great playing rather than any single line sticking out over the others.

Dead Goon is surely his high point. Unbelievable bass line altogether. Read an interview with him going through the writing of it (or was it a YouTube video, shit, the dim mists of ancient time and all that) and it was very cool.

Yeah, can't really single out anything from the likes if Cynic, Atheist. Was going to mention some from Suicidal Tendencies too but there's an absolute heap of great bass there

Nice! I'll see if I can find that. He might be my favourite bass player of all time. Narrowly beating out Bill Gould

I think it's on here somewhere https://www.trevordunn.net/mr-bungle-mr-bungle but not this exact article.

I'll dig for another few before the GAA takes ownership of my Sunday through my kids once more but I might have to run for it

There it is! Scroll down that page a small bit and he gets into it

Edit 2: I know a fella who plays in a Cork band (Dazgak!) who was sitting in my kitchen one day and was able to play the bass line from Squeeze Me Macaroni by ear upside down on my left strung bass, and to memory he never cracked Dead Goon.
