[QueBert]

I'm Your Pusher by Curtis Mayfield

 

[MBony]

Spirit of Radio - Rush

 

[PepePeru]

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Sir Psycho Sexy

I was playing that at a guitar store and one of the employees came up and commented that he'd never heard anyone playing that before.

Its easy and sounds cool.

Panic Attack is currently my goal. But I can't even begin w/out a 5-string

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Myxomatosis by Radiohead is a cool bass line that isn't heinously difficult. Tab is here.

 

[Kev]

Muse - Hysteria

 

[Chunkee]

puff the magic dragon

 

[Drako]

Spinal Tap : Big Bottom

You need a double neck base for this .

Intro to Peace Sells is sweet. Well the whole song is sweet, but the intro in-particular.

Yes they do and I'm not much of a Rage Against the Machine fan but they have some pretty cool bass lines as well.

RATM is my warmup album. Good stuff and gets your hands moving all over the place. Gonna need to drop D on a couple songs if you don't have a 5-string.

Good stuff in here. I probably should stop for today as my fingers are now blistered and sore.

Definitely a good song to play as well. Very easy to learn and, as you said G Wizard, it sounds awesome. I know its a good day on bass guitar when I mix in perfectly with Flea.

I don't think I can escalate the power of QFTedness. So I'll just fourth that sentiment. And provide a link.
