read an interview with the bass player who did that. she called it her favorite bass line she had ever played. (sorry, can't remember her name)
If it was a studio bassist, it was probably Carol Kaye. She did a lot of the Beach Boys bass lines, too.
wow...she's COOL!!! where is she now?

where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

I don't know where she lives, Luci. I do know her daughter passed away about 2 years back after a long battle with cancer, so I imagine Carol has gone back to work by now.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner

I'd be surprised if anyone here had heard it, but Familiar Feeling by Moloko is built around a wonderful slap bass line. The album version is much better than the radio release, which cuts the intro and outro.
Q. Why do Communists drink herbal tea?
A. Because proper tea is theft.
for great bass, get Dos. Mike Watt (Minutemen & Firehose) with his ex-wife Kira (Black Flag) just the two of them playing bass. they tour California still.

Good call. He plays his butt off on that.

Have any of you ever heard "The Witch" by the Cult? If you haven't you're missing one of the best uses of Bass in the the history of music!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.John Stuart Mill

Yes! Excellent song.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Jeremy Toback with Brad live. his bass on 20th Century is fantastic. it drives the song along, better than the album version. Jeremy finds a deep groove and stays with it.

OK Computer (1997)
Paranoid Android
