Easier bass lines with distortion

Any recos on some beginner basslines that originally used distortion?
Want to give this Plasma Pedal a workout.

Just gave Radiohead’s The National Anthem a run myself today.
Michael Jackson’s Beat It is also lots of of fun.
You can always play (I Can’t get no) Satisfaction on your G string too.

To be honest, I often enjoy playing “clean” bass lines with some distortion too.

The funniest thing is they never actually had a permanent bassist but have all these awesome songs like that.

Another brother band like Oasis where the only actual members were the two brothers and everyone else was an afterthought. They had 12 drummers, that’s even more than Spinal Tap :slight_smile:

Come As You Are by Nirvana might be a good one.
