Members moped Posted August 30, 2007 Members Share Posted August 30, 2007 Can anyone think of Bass solos in songs that were genuine hit songs in their day, nothing to obscure and actual solo's not just great hooks. These are the songs I came up with....... Lionel Richie - "Dancing on the ceiling" Sade - "Smooth Operator" The who - "My Generation The Who" Paul Simon - "You can call me Al" Guns & Roses - "Sweet child of mine" (Intro) Cameo - "Word Up" Paul Young - "Wherever I lay my hat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emprov Posted August 30, 2007 Members Share Posted August 30, 2007 Oooh, good one. I always dug that piece.It's usually the third or fourth song in our first set, a really good indicator of how well my fingers are working that night.
