I still think "Heart of the Sunrise" is a pretty intense bass line, but then you have the chill bass solo after that's so good. "Roundabout" has a good bassline as well, but I feel like Squire's best stuff can be found on "The Fish," or "Tempus Fugit." Of course, he did some incredible work over his career, so there's certainly plenty to pick from.

Mohini Dey: I don’t know if it’s properly a song, but the first thing she played at SIT BOOTH at NAMM in 2019, to me, still remains a crazy and top bass moments, ever. The “theme” is such a perfect fusion of groove, musical taste and “variations”. In this case, too….it’be nice to have “your version” of this masterpiece. Hope you like em! Cheers

My answer for hardest bass riff or drum pattern is always, "Idk, probably something by Ruins." They're a Japanese duo that makes music that removes the barriers of "can I do this?" and "should I do this?" and only cares about "does this sound like it can't and/or shouldn't be done?" Most brutal prog (an actual genre of music; think math rock on crack and more avant-garde) could probably be described thusly, but Ruins has the most skilled drummer in the world and a bassist that can keep up with his madness.

I would love to see your list for the top 10 bass solos or songs with bass solos from Band-Maid. We all have our favorites, but it would be great to see what you think.

Some of the hardest bass lines I've ever tried to figure out came from Tool- especially their most recent stuff. The Pot was particularly difficult for me. That said- I haven't even tried anything off Fear Inno. yet so- I assume it's even more difficult because Justin seems to have been finding his footing and I would say on 10,000 Days he really started to shine but you could tell he was evolving quickly- becoming even better.

Justin had been in the band for a decade by 10,000 days, I don't really understand what you're getting at. But good on you for learning to play

If it's the hardest I don't know... But, the riff of the song Raison D'être by Nightmare impresses me a lot.

Sam Wilkes needs to be more well known. Maybe some know who Louis Cole is, but his group Knower with Sam on bass in the Live Band Sesh version of "Overtime" deserves intense analysis from any bassist.

"Dead Goon" Mr Bungle. Not necessarily the hardest, but technically amazing. I never hear Trevor Dunn mentioned on any of these bass YT videos, yet he's a proper virtuoso, on both electric and stand-up bass,.

Thx for the reminder. When I first heard the fluidity on the bassline Trevors playing when the intros over just let my jaw drop! Epic

U can't hold no groove by Victor Wooten. Easily one of the most virtuosic displays of bass playing

When you factor in that fact that he's the lead singer while playing this riff over and over, "Lessons in Love" by Level 42 has to be on the list. Mark King rules.
