..bass definitely drives the first PIL album - Metal Box great too but think Levene and synths are the key players there - maybe all parts equally important. Who'd make a great 'bass guitar ' album....Bootsys 'This Boot was made for fonkin' definitely, Stanley Clarke, Big Tony Fisher Trouble Funk live in London. Indie stuff then Kevin Hopper and Stump. Master works....string basses...Ron Carter - Yellow and Green (CTI records) includes great version of Epistrophy... http://cti-kudu.blogspot.com/2008/12/cti-6064-ron-carter-yellow-green-1976.html 8)

Greatest bass guitar song is certainly Sly's remake of "Thank You" at the end of the "Riot" album . . . the only bassline that actually brings tears to my eyes! Larry Graham should be a lot more famous than he is . . . .

Dave Holland's quartet Conference of the Birds is a fine example.

Pretty much everything primus ever did that's the obvious answer but its also on point. | |||

Magazine 'Secondhand Daylight': Barry Adamson's wondrously flanged Rickenbacker dominates proceedings throughout. And any Who album could qualify: I'd probably plump for 'Quadrophenia' where The Ox seems to be soloing all through both records. Listen to 'The Real Me' for a prime example. It's not really a bass guitar as such, but Eberhard Weber's superb custom made jobbie stands out on every record he appears on, whether in his own name or that of others like Jan Garbarek or Mal Waldron. He's a tremendously sensitive player. I'd probably go for 'Silent Feet' if pressed to name just one album that exemplifies his art. And how about The Beat's debut 'I Just Can't Stop It'? I spent many hours trying to replicate the amazing bass lines on that. Otherwise, anything that Wobbles!
