Post your favorite bass line in this thread
Oh wow, that’s a complicated question, there’s so many right answers depending on personal taste. I like fluorocarbon line. It’s more expensive than alternatives, but it’s strong stuff, and invisible in water. Why pinch pennies? It can make all the difference between landing the catch and losing it.
Where do I start?
Well, let’s put some metal in here because this thread needs more of that:
-

Periphery - Hell Below - (Enhanced Bass Track) - Tuning of C♯₀ - Lowest Bass Tuning I’ve Heard in a Song!!!

Last thing is that I have to throw in Rush even though they’re not necessarily considered as metal as these other ones, but Rush is Rush! I’ll go with a more underrated one here. Rush - Circumstances - (Isolated Bass and Drum Track)
pretty much anything by Om
Surprised nobody has posted Thundercat yet. Them Changes is an all time classic baseline.
