What is the most fun bassline you play?

Two of the most recent covers I’ve done are definitely the most fun - Colors by Black Pumas and Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac. So fun!

I’ve seen BÖC live many times. Joe Bouchard was my favorite of their bassists.

They are awesome live!

Yeah he’s the only one I have seen live.

Changes constantly. But at the moment I can’t wait to hit Bob Marley Sun is Shining, and John Holts Police in Helicopter. 2 really simple eight note grooves you can hang around on all day long. Follow that with a bit of Amy Winehouse Me and Mr Jones and I get Cheshire Cat syndrome. :smile_cat:

Playing reggae makes me smile.

“Stir It Up” and “Three Little Birds” are just fun, happy jams.

Completely agree and I’m not a huge reggae guy. Similarly, The Clash is a lot of fun and more my speed.

Not a reggae fan at all but I do like first wave ska and two-tone which is basically punk reggae.

I am a huge fan of old roots reggae and early ska. Also love the Clash.
Speaking of reggae, the Austin Reggae festival is coming up in April!
Maybe I will see some of you there!

I find the main London Calling bass riff really fun to play, so bouncy.

To just sit and jam, I like The Clash, Dropkick Murphys, Social Distortion and Rancid. In old school punk, the bassist had all the fun!
