square pusher is a good bass riff, but its not really a riff is it ?

a riff is something that is played,

Humm wher shall I start?

Over the falls - Primus
Canonball - The Breaders
War of the wars - Jeff Wayne(bassist Herby Flowers)
Westway - Sky
Lessons - Rush
Anything and everything that Mick Karn has done. I could be here for hours but I would be taking up far to much of my time. :wink:

That'd be Fleetwood Mac - The Chain

John McVie played some mean bass on that track. :)


But if your talking bass players, one can not over look Rush front man Getty Lee.

Okay so I just listened to Tom Sawyer and I'll toss that out for a great opening bass riff.

And I'd like to add Amiee Mann, fomerly of Til' Tuesday, in as a great basist too.

Anything Victor Wooten. It aint rock but he's a mean bass player.

Gotta be the opening bass riff from the Stranglers - No More Heroes.

A track that begins with bass....

(ps Squarepusher straddles acoustic and electronic and boy can the man play!!!!)

I think Billy Sheehan was glad to get a note in edgeways when he was gigging with Steve Vai for D.L.R. :lol:
