Way down in the bass!--favourite bass guitar moments
JK:
The title comes from a remark (here at 1:33) in "You Can't Sit Down" , a cool 1961 instrumental by the Phil Upchurch Combo. Seems Upchurch played guitar on it and later overdubbed the bass part himself (see here):

Hate "Something" - ugly song - except Paul's bass.

My favorite bass line ever would be Geddy Lee's in Rush's "YYZ": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdpMpfp-J_I
And in isolation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir-NYVFsSB4

It is indeed! This is probably mine. Andy Fraser although not a technical wizard was one of pop's most inventive and adventurous bassists. His crowning achievement in that respect (and maybe that of Free as a whole) comes just after the three-minute mark in "Mr. Big":

I launched a bass guitar topic at PSF but couldn't bring myself to relaunch it at EH after PSF vanished. But it seems right to relaunch it now.
Keeping to Free and Andy Fraser, the bass line in "The Stealer" features a downward smear "on the one". Is this unique, I wonder. Nice vibes too...
