Coolest Bass Riff?
 

What do you think is the coolest bass riff, ever? and by whom?

I don't know if it's my absolute favorite, but if you crank a distortion pedal onto a bass and play the main parts to Motorhead's Orgasmatron, it's just purely fucking sweet, even as simple as it is :D

Mainly they are on Swervedriver's Raise album...

Adi Vines knew how to control those four stings... Too bad he don't play in a band anymore :(

Iron Maiden - Wrathchild
Iron Maiden - Phantom of the opera
Racer X - scarified (in a moment has an incredible bass solo)

sweet, ill try and find the orgasmatron song wally, and good news ive got a distortion pedal!

Shouldn't be hard to find...Motorhead is awesome :)

The ''Orgasmatron'' that ive found hasnt got any bass in it:o

You do know that Lemmy uses distortion right? Motorhead's version starts with him just playing it on bass...

Oh right..

shouldnt be hard to work out i guess..but yeah its quite a cool riff


they havent got any motorhead tabs on here which im dissapointed at
they have some at mxtabs but they only have ace of spades and play the game

I don't know if they have the bass tabs, but you can just basically copy the guitar part, I think that's what Lemmy does.

Cheers mate, ill work on it!

Sweetness, should be easy to learn, but it's fun as hell to play :)

On the word of ''Fun to play'' i can play basically all of Anesthesia by metallica now..and the pedal makes it sound even more beastly, its just it gets harder when the drums enter, on the last part of the solo..but through pain and agony im gonna finish it no-matter what:D

I envy you. Anasthesia is fuckin sweet. I'd be able to play the whole thing, I know I physically could do it, I just don't have the patience to sit and try the same parts over and over again then remember it all in order. A fatal musician's flaw :(

I know what you mean..it does get annoying..when u learn a new part of the song, and then you have to go through it again to remember that part included in the bits of the song u already knew..but yeah, u need a lot of patience..and skill;)

I got the skill :p just dont' have the patience :D

ahhh but you need patience to have skill ;)

hehe :D :beer:

:vampire:

Stay on topic, quit cluttering up my forums with your crap! :D
hehe

and what's up with the end of your last post??? :)

dude that was un-called for, i never said u werent skilled..i was just mentioniong stuff..yah?

yeah, I'm back from a 3 week holiday and my fingers hurt like hell after playing my bass for a couple of hours, DAMN! I gotta get used to it again.

ohyeah, about anesthesia, the "storm" kinda part before the drums is the shitty-est part... the beginning is easy and the second part is also pretty easy, when the drums come in its hard to hear on the cd if your playing it right, but I got there...

I used a boss odb3 bassoverdrive and a morley wah... I also used a compressor but you don't really need it for anesthesia.

ohyeah, it's good to be back on metaltabs after 3 weeks of holiday!!
