13 'Punkiest' Bass Intros
Рет қаралды 228,714
7 ай бұрынThe punk bass intro, the indication that it's all about to go down. These are not all strictly 'punk', some are post-punk, post-hardcore, pop-punk etc. Also I'm trying out a new Squier P-Bass that I recently purchased!

I love it when bass players use drone notes, or even play chords. Needless to say, Peter Hook is my favorite. Great video as always!

"Love Buzz" was originally written and recorded by Shocking Blue in 1969, and Nirvana's cover isn't too different from theirs. Great playing!

Very cool! You included some of the ones I thought of when I saw the title. Here’s a few others I like: * “Guns of brixton”- the Clash. * “Death Disco” (aka Swan Lake)- P.I.L. * “Bro Hymn”- Pennywise. * “Smell the Bacon (What’s with you)- Agnostic Front/Madball (this one was later borrowed by AF associate Peter Steele on “Black No. 1”, not that that’s punk; other good ones by AF are “last warning” and “United blood”). Cheers!

I for sure agree with Guy, you need a Matt Riddle riff in there. IMO that guy was a total unsung hero, for one I love his playing... always present, always buisy, but always holding down the bottom end and filling out the mix. For another, Between F2F, Pully, and NUFAN he's been on so many really strong recordings that one has to assume his contributions go beyond just playing bass.

I have the same colour p bass. I got it from my late uncle since I was 12. It's a 1973 with the chrome cover on the pick ups. I'm now 55 and I've took great care of it. I've played in a few bad in high-school and college. Great memories. You should try flat windings strings, it sounds good and you won't hear any slipping noises.
