That bass tone in Would? 👀 Possibly the most iconic grunge sound of all time… but was there a secret studio trick behind it? 🤔 We break it all down in our latest YouTube vid - link in bio to see what might’ve really been going on 🔗👈
The swagger of bassist Paul Denman’s bass line on Sade’s Smooth Operator, the group’s 1984 breakout U.S. single, almost overshadowed Sade Adu’s ice-cool vocals. Complimenting the lush instrumentation with a melodic edge, the bass line provides a totally rock-solid, but live groove. Among Denman’s weapons of choice included a Gretsch and a MusicMan Stingray. #DontSleepOnDenman 😴🚫
Another of John Deacon's most instantly recognisable bass lines. Try playing it only with downstrokes, apart from the three sixteenths at the back end, where you can use alternate picking. Depending on the tempo, you may be able to pull that bit off with downstrokes too, but make sure your picking hand is warmed up first! #bass #bassplayer #basstok #bassist #bassistsoftiktok #scottsbasslessons #bassplayersunited #fypシ
This rare late-’60s Goya Panther II is pretty freakin' wild 🤯 We love hearing Janek play on any bass... But this one sure jumps out at you on a session! Would you gig this thing, or keep it locked up like treasure? 🏆 Catch the full vid of Janek breaking down his basses & pedalboard now on our YT 🔥
Our Jamerson deep dive might’ve been the most prep we’ve ever done for a YouTube video! Dude was such a beast! 😅 From Jackson 5's Third Album, “Darling Dear” showcases one of the Jackson 5’s most memorable tracks, with Jamerson delivering a bassline that is a straight up masterpiece. Arguably his greatest line? 🤔 Adding counter-rhythms that elevate the song’s movement, his chromatic runs and ghost notes give the groove a jazz-like quality, making it one of the most harmonically rich contributions to Motown’s golden era 💛

This break in the iconic 'Master Blaster' by Stevie Wonder isn’t just a killer groove — it’s packed with skills that will make you a better bassist.... 1️⃣ No more flying fingers. The speed of the line itself almost demands a super clean fretting hand approach. If your pinky isn't held close to the strings, you'll be in for a rough ride. 2️⃣ Master your position shifts. Unless you’re rocking a 6-string, you'll have to shift positions at some point in the line. This line forces you to do it smoothly, helping you navigate the fretboard with confidence. 3️⃣ Plucking hand precision! Ascending & descending lines make this the perfect workout for your right hand. Take a small section, 1-2 bars, loop it & you’ve got an instant exercise! 🔥 If you’re working on technique, this line is a goldmine. And if you want a step-by-step system to build control, accuracy, and confidence on the bass, the Technique Accelerator is still open for enrollment!
