The LA Bassist EVERYONE’S talking about
A few months back, we got into the argument that all bass players get into - what are the coolest, grooviest bass lines of all time? After hours of heated debate, we decided to get LA bassist Nick Campbell to help make that decision for us.
In today’s video, Nick Campbell reels off the bass lines that shaped his sound. It’s the perfect way to introduce yourself to the worlds of Rocco Prestia, Ray Brown, James Jamerson and Colin Greenwood.
In this episode:
Why Nick is a huge Radiohead fan.
The first time he heard Tower of Power.
Why nothing beats a Ray Brown two-feel.
Is this James Jamerson’s coolest bass line?
And much, much more!

    Please make a video about slapping on 4 strings vs 5 and 6 string bass. I see marcus miller uses a thumb on his fretting hand to mute strings? does string spacing come into play. i have to seen any on the internet.

    David Gilmour’s Strat went for 5.7M. I would absolutely agree Paul’s bass would go for 10M+.

    As a resident of SLO, where Music Man is a 20 minute walk from my doorstep, I have to say that there is nothing quite like THAT sound. I've been saying it for decades. Oddly, for living in the town where all the great Music Man instruments are born, they do not have a strong presence here (isn't that a shame?). No public showroom, no storefront in the city -- in fact you have to drive 15 minutes south of the factory to even find a music store (one of the greatest guitar/bass shops in the world I might add -- Lightning Joe's) to even play a few that are hot out of the oven. All this and I have yet to own one. Isn't that sad? But I likely will soon. We shall see! Many years ago I ran into Joe Dart up here. He crashed an open mic at a bar called The Frog and Peach. I didn't even know who he was but I saw he had a new bass with a roasted neck (new at the time) so I asked him if I could see and play it. Graciously he let me. How he doesn't need neck surgery is beyond me.

    Sorry guys but your transcription of deeper underground is wrong. What is played in the original track is actually. Db Ab(short) Db A D D etc... The end of the riff is looped with Db Cb(B) Db (so this time it s a whole step lower like you played all along the riff but for the rest it s a fourth lower than the target. It s sounds Deeper like this (😅didn t mean it). Everybody plays it like like you and the note is short enough and diatonic so it s sounds good.. But a fourth lower sounds better. Thank you for your channel and the good time you provide to us bassists all over the world. I often use your drums sequences to work and it sounds awesome and it s a great tool for any bass player. Best regards

    You can do this really easily on a Headrush pedalboard with the Time Warp model hooked up to the expression pedal.

    Bakithi is the reason I'm a bass player. I was 6 when this album came out and the tape was in the car nearly all the time. The sounds I heard were like nothing I'd ever heard before and the way each musician approached their instruments, they sounded like instruments I'd never heard before. Everything to me sounded like it was coming from a whole new dimension, the only thing that sounded familiar was Paul, like he was introducing us all to this sound. Particularly the bass sounded like something I didn't know but I loved it. It's funny, "You Can Call Me Al" is not my favorite song now but at the time, I couldn't wait to hear it and that part he played was the highlight of it all. The first time I saw Bakithi was on TV not long after the album came out and I saw him do that little solo I loved so much. From then on, I knew what I wanted to be. I wanted to be just like Bakithi, he was the coolest person I'd ever seen. I've been playing bass for 30 years. I've been in many groups, been on tour a few times, been in front of thousands for a few major artists, opened up for others but no matter what I do, if I have a room a bass and an amp, that's all I need to be happy, to re-center myself. I don't need to play for anyone but me. That's the gift of music. So Bakithi, if you read this, Thank you and you are my #1, always and forever.

    I have a love/hate relationship with my Stingray 5 which I've owned for 30 years. Sometimes it's perfect and other times it just doesn't fit the bill at all - unlike a P bass which is way more versatile IMHO.
