[QUOTE=dannyt1251]reptilia-the strokes? You must be a good bassist if you find that easy[/QUOTE]

Reptilia isn't really that hard.


Hysteria - Muse
Sweet Child O Mine - G n R

Blink 182-Carousel
Guns n Roses-Sweet Child of Mine
Velvet Revolver-Slither

I know this one is suggested before: The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army... This song is really good practice when it comes to hiting the right frets! Not for the average bassit though, cause you should be able to do this song! But good good practice for the beginners!!

correction: bassit = bassist :P

I Feel Good by James Brown
Nice Beginner Funk Bassline

happy birthday-little children-unnecessarily easy

haha

ahm... many of metallicas songs are quite easy.... especially Until it Sleeps... that's a must for beginners, i promise u that!

now don't be a fool, stay cool!

How is bombtrack easy man? I can play "Pet" - Aperfectcircle, but I can't play bombtrack, how does that work?

bombtrack is easy, just keep trying, what dont you understand?

I understand it, I just can't be assed to do the fingering...

Man, thanks for this thread and everyone that has listed easy tabs here.
I have only read 7 pages and I got like 10 new bass tabs to practise.
I came to these forums asking for tabs fitting a bassist who yet has to practise his
bass playing on a electric guitar O_o
Well, I found this thread and the rest is known...

Flashlight is a groovy little song.. P-funk

Here are some real easy ones.

Blink 182 = all the small things
Nickleback = how you remind me
Nirvana = territorial pissings

Not much to any of these, keep it simple and groove. :wave:

[QUOTE=bassist105]I understand it, I just can't be assed to do the fingering...[/QUOTE]

Might come as a bit of a shocker, but believe it or not, you have to do the fingering to play the song.

:rolleyes:

Losthate: The bassline on Metallicas' My Friend Of Misery (or something, not a Metallica-pro ;P) is quite simple, but catchy! I enjoy playing it alot! You find tabs on mx-tabs.net!

Metallica - Enter The Sandman
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple easy, nice and steady, wll known
Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes easy, good for pinky strength
Feel Good Inc - The Gorillaz easy (if you get the right TAB)
Enter Sandman - Metallica easy, bit confusing at first
Cocaine - J J Kale easy, also good for pinky strength
Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes easy, good for fretting hand speed
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd easy, goos for picking hand and string skipping
Mission Impossible - Theme Song well known, sounds cool, good for fretting hand co-ordination
Short Skirt Long Jacket - Cake easy, good for speed and fretting hand flexibility

[QUOTE=Shyanel]Sorry dude, but you'll find a lot of people who play bass dont like blink, myself included. It's just that hoppus is so poor. I mean as a fundemental bassist he serves his function perfectly, but he has no creative talent and no personal flair. Sorry, it's just the way it is bud....

....as for something easy to play - have a shot at "The O'Jays - For the Love Of Money"

it goes like this:

G ---------------------------------------------------------
D -------x11-11--x9--x9--x9x--x9--x9x--x9x--x9x--9x--8-9-11
A ---------------------------------------------------------
E --9--9---------------------------------------------------

thats it, just make up your own variations as you see fit. It's great fun to play and it gives you a use for your phaser (if you have one), although it still sounds good without.[/QUOTE]

I know Hoppus aint excatly a bass genious, but he isnt tht bad. If u listen 2 sum of Blink's early stuff he plays sum realli cool bass lines, not so much in the more recent stuff, since Blink became famous. You cant really be tht creative as a bass player if u r only a 3 piece band cos the bassist kind of has 2 act like a rhythm guitarist.

Try Mutt, Carousel, Marlboro Man and basically all the songs in Cheshire Cat.

[/QUOTE]

If your in a 3 piece, you need to be MORE creative, to fill the gaps where a rythm guitar plays.

Mark Hoppus isnt any good. Wasn't in early Blink, wasn't at the end of the bands carreer. Accept it.

Agreed. You need to be more creative in a 3 piece band, and hell wouldn't you want to be more creative if you are a musician.
Hoppus was an average punk player on Cheshire, but slacked right after dude ranch. He was never good, just average.

If you want to start playing on a good foot play Primus, or any other band that does not stay in one place with technique.

What songs have great basslines?

[QUOTE=tank_89]What songs have great basslines?[/QUOTE]

Care to be a little more specific? What genre's do you play most?

rock

Then, Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker, The Immigrant Song
Black Sabbath - NIB, Evil Woman
Iron Maiden - Run to The Hills, The Trooper
The Who - My Generation

Those songs arn't hard In my opinion, but those are at least good bands to start with.

Couple of Easyuns for you chaps seeing as no one else posts for the novices no more I'll start with these two for you:
Incubus - Battlestar Scralatchtica
Primus - American Life

Have Fun. :thumb:
