[MegaTotempole]

have u tried another one bites the dust by queen ? tell me if u like it..

[zeromant80]

Umm... The Beatles - Taxman?

[hirstyrox]

whats the song at the start

[InfectedXSquirrels]

Primus sucks



[RhythmAddictedState]

Um... Hysteria by Muse..?

[jij5354]

no Demaio, shit list

[TooYellowish]

What's the intro/outro song?

[mjedelman]

I get the feeling you're a Primus fan, huh?

[wbol6]

Sienfeld has to be the shittist show on tv, however the slap bass is great

[flea2468]

where's flea lml

[MCLemonyfresh]

you need to put a title for number 5. not everybody knows who it is. if you give titles for all the other ones, why not 5? damn

[DeadlySnowSnakes]

i know it came after this vid but the right to go insane by megadeth. Also i saw your mommy by suicidal tendencies and got the time by anthrax

[gideonwinter1]

Great list but bonin in the boneyard from Fishbone could have replaced one of Les Claypools many entry's

[catfrycat]

jerry was a racecar driver and my name is mud are both better than "one better"

[danehb89]

No Jamerson or Jaco, hm.

[TheBadfish11]

No Flea? No Geezer? WHAT KIND OF BASS LIST IS THIS?!

[LGTKProduction]

So where was RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS?!?

[dharmaseed]

There HAS to be another Iron Maiden song that is more representative of Steve's talent.

[coolmaster5000]

A best bass songs list without Jaco's Portrait of Tracy is not complete. Well come to think of it you could make a whole list of nothing but Jaco. It was nice to see Marcus Miller in the mix. You should check out SMV (Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, and Victor Wooten). They are arguably the three best bassists alive today.

[TheMetallicadude94]

The song at the beginning is called Pluck by Marcus Miller

[Aidos8158]

LOUIS JOHNSON!! :D

[Guillaume15041996]

what's the song in the beginnig ?

[8lovelovelove9]

What was the last credits one ??

[TeamMastaPr2]

Hey, What about "Another One Bites the Dust" (Queen, bassist John Deacon)?

[SwagHelper1357]

I meant Flea..sry

[SwagHelper1357]

I love tommy the cat lol ... Primus is really good in my opinion and so is Fles

[JGushi87]

Seinfield! Lql!

[ecomantasuketekure]

Just a technicality, but the Seinfeld is done on a synth. It's still an awesome "bass" part- just it isn't done on a bass... :(

[filbertflange]

Les Claypool is a friggin awesome bassist! I'd love to hear him and Flea hash it out. That would be earthshattering! Why does nobody include Heart of the Sunrise in any of these lists?

[Malzarin]

There is this guy you should check out! His name is Les Claypool! He's really good.

[GHOSTakaOzz]

ARE YOU SERIOUS NONE OF PAUL McCARTNEY'S BASS LINES? Beatles sold THE MOST ALBUMS OF AALLLLL TIME. More then all the artists you mentioned COMBINED. google it.

[irena7777777]

@GHOSTakaOzz What dos album sales have to do with it? If you're trying to say that Paul McCartney is better than Les Claypool, Chris Squire, Geddy Lee etc simply because he was in the Beatles, you're a fool. Albumsales has fuck all to do with virtuouso skill and ability.

[ItsJamoTime]

If anyone knows what the intro/outro song is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post it up here for us all to see coz there are many of us dying to find out what that sweet bassline is from :) Cheers from the world of bass :D

[googuse]

Zappa - Valley Girl

[Nacho66]

Nice Marcus Miller and Brothers Johnson! But where is DA MAN - Larry Graham?

[Claudio79]

Primus owns!!! ;-)

[5rebolation]

"around the world" by the Flea is a great song that you forgot!!

[Putaspellonyou]

wow. you listen to four different bands...

[smokeyoperation]

WHAT.IN.THE.FUCK.IS.THE.INTRO THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME

[Funkaslunk1994]

@smokeyoperation Pluck - Marcus Miller

[conorryan79]

@smokeyoperation

Agreed! Anyone know what the intro track is>?

[MrSpartanLaser]

YES - Roundabout. i was looking for that song, finally!! thx sooo much :D

[paulftw4life]

when i see a top ten bass lines without mccartney playing one of them i die a little

[GuitarMan5271]

@paulftw4life So do I my friend, so do I.

[SlothicDrummer]

rush yyz indefinitely

[Argylecheddar]

what about simple and slow. bass is not lead. i love the funky stuff, but what about some thing like talking heads psycho killer? not a tough one but simply sweet.

[SuperNikolai100]

lick my ass you and your stupid songs .

[chobbernobber]

god i love the megadeth riff

[rcb0683]

No Wooton? Hamm? Jamerson? Don't get me wrong, some good licks, but Les Claypool isn't THAT good.

[vladjarca]

Orion....

[genmed42]

Flea? No RHCP? Really?

[Queslington]

Jaco Pastorius. Otherwise, nice list.

[miniwilliams88]

What is the song in the beginning and end called?

[Vit4lS1gns]

Malignant Narcissism by Rush, YYZ by Rush.

[BlackMaidenTallica]

@Vit4lS1gns Circumstances, 2112, Cygnus X-1, Bastille Day, By Tor, Crossroads, Spirit of the Radio, Red Barchetta

[Vit4lS1gns]

@BlackMaidenTallica La Villa Strangiato, Anthem, Marathon, Force Ten, Leave That Thing Alone

[MrShutyourdamnmouth]

Victor Wooten is the best check him out

[lklkhjhjdfs]

your selection is too much oriented about bass rockers or hard bass rockers

[PeaceLoveBeatles4]

Claypool is amazin..flea is amazin...why couldnt we just settle with just both of them being awesome..

[PeaceLoveBeatles4]

oh jesus...claypool or flea...i couldnt pick...DAMN i didnt know there was a debate!! where have i been?

[othaka666]

[LAZOSSLASH]

Tool - Schism ???

[thedanimal14]

[trtjh6j]

2:45, that's some filthy bass.

[ROCKnROLL1406]

Ill go out on a limb and say that this guy is a Primus fan......

[bassist69ify]

gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[phoenix3235]

[TommyTheCat131]

Good calls man. I appreciated the God-Dom placed on our idol, Mister Claypool... Respectful question.. Victor Wooten... Jaco Pastarios???? Otherwise, I agree.

[gcfissore]

seinfeld bassline kick ass!

[seasonofpain]

What is the fantastic song before any of these songs actually play...at the very beginning?

[slappadabass1011]

where the hell is larry grahm and victor wooten and stanley clarke and even flea and getty lee and the old bootsy collins stuff, cmonnn man

[Rabbit77X]

# 10 is Marcus Miller-Pluck

[Miahismyname]

TOmmy the cat should be #1

[Earpollution121]

the Seinfeld song is pretty fun to play if your just goofing around or bored. I do it alot at guitar shops when my parents wont shut the hell up when there talking to a employee

[Lawldudz]

A lot of Claypool/Primus. I approve.

[dayvidiot]

should 'seinfeld' really count?

isn't that a keyboard?

some great picks other-wise.

one could go on and on,

fishbone, stanley clark, jaco

police,kings x, sly&family stone,

tower of power, iron maiden,

rush(cygnus x-1),crack the sky...

my brain hurts trying to think

of them all

[franciscowboy]

@dayvidiot yes seinfeld theme is keyboard, i also at first thought it was bass boc talked with my teacher and he said it was keyboard

[vacredan1]

An God Said let there be bass.

[smitzel751]

no N.I.B by black sabbath? or anesthesia by metallica? :(

[Mithrava]

What's the name of the song at the start and end of this video? Please tell me, I think that song should be #11 :-)

[FabDrummer91]

Where are the Red hot chili peppers?? flea is soo sick.

Wanna talk about funk - listen to their old stuff, not mainstream stuff and just dont even listen to the lyrics just pay attention to the bass, u will be surprised.

1. Johnny Kick a hole in the sky - amazing slappin, poppin and hammerons

2. Stone cold bush - amazing solo after 2nd chourus

3. No chump love sucker - i dont know how his thumb doesnt break off.

good list though, but flea is just too good to be excluded

[toxicheeseball]

wherre the hell is Hysteria by Muse?!

[Admiraalkonijn]

i want graham!



[YertlePsychoStain]

[shaneomacmcgee]

[littleandersrc]

[ausername182]

@quesadila1 Was wondering the same thing.

[santyand]

let the sunshine in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BelgianCovers]

i think you forgot some legendary RHCP songs my dear friend :)

[SkittlzNinja]

Yea, Yes!

[Eagle3396]

The bass riff of Beat It by MJ is a good one. 

[ZeMovinPixxle]

@Eagle3396 it's quite more boring to play than the ones presented in here...

[Eagle3396]

@ZeMovinPixxle In a way yeah I agree that it gets rather basic after a while. Still like it though. ^_^

[Sycord]

Sadly the Seinfeld theme is synthesized

[drelovecenyrocks]

BASS

[WillBNunn]

With all the Les Claypool stuff, where's America Life and John The Fisherman (bass with a whammy bar!!!).

[TeamMastaPr2]

Paul McCartney is the best bassist ever!

[dogcowrph]

John Entwistle ?? Missing?? My Generation? Possibly one of the best bass lines ever. Possibly one of the greatest rock songs ever.

#5 Was Get The Funk, Outta Ma Face by the Brothers Johnson (1976)

Louis Johnson played a Music Man bass. I always loved Strawberry Letter #23, very psychedelic.

[rhcphallofame]

How could u not have FLEA in here

[lolbrief]

@rhcphallofame because Flea is good, but he's definitely not the best

[zeverus22]

@lolbrief but flea is good enough to be on a top 10 list.

[TherussianorphanII]

I love that you have Primus here. Claypool=win

[ninelevelsdeepful]

seinfield is on a keyboard. not even a real bass

[Hem4fiction]

@ninelevelsdeepful same thing, keyboard has low notes as well

[dukinehbass]

@IGNWarriors Pluck by Marcus Miller

[monkey1506]

[eattreats]

[diseasedvirus]

cliff burton is not that good. you faggles need to stop praising metallica and go learn to play an instrument and realize how awful the lot of them were. the only good member they ever had (Mustaine) left.

[ToKoolForYou2]

LES CLAYPOOL! <3 <3 :) (L) fuuckin A!

[Videostar1another1fa]

Any video that contains bass not followed by Cliff Burton sucks.
