what is a good bass cd out there?

Bass CDs are getting harder to find now that the craze for those singing wall-mounted fish has subsided. But no question, the best I found was the one that came with "Louie the Loud Mouth Bass." It may be considered snobbish to rate it this way, but I take my gag fish very seriously.

Hi,
If you are looking for some good bazzz, you could listen to reggae or Dub
Also try Lee Scratch Perry or The Mad Professor.
Perhaps even some boombox .
My favourite for the moment is David Could : Adonai in Dub
Good luck and....see ya

Has anyone noticed the amount of music nowadays that doesn't have a bass line as such, just a repetitive "tub tub tub" sound at a single frequency? Not very interesting if you ask me. Must be getting old.

Are you talking about discs with lots of low frequency, or good bass guitar playing?

Hi all,

in general I'd underline tito's statement about Dub. I'm also heavily hooked on that stuff...... SOme Jungle / D'n'B tracks also have punishing bass, just think about all the great Prodigy tracks

Chemical Brothers: "buzz track"
anything by Sublime, e.g. "doin' time (eerie splendor mix)"
General Pecos: "Wicked thing"
King Tubby: "Rebel Dance", "Dub is my occupation"

hope you like some of them....

Bass Mekanik creates real "bass" cds. I have version 5.0 and there are 17 tracks of songs filled with low frequnecy waves.

Tracks 18&19 are sine wave sweeps, and tracks 20-99 are their respective freqencies. The right channel is a half of a freq. higher than the left, and they play at the same time. This creates beats if you dont turn the balance to one speaker.

Its intent was for finding the freq. response of cars and the magic tuniong freqency for the highest SPL. The music tracks can get long and repetitve , but the vibrations you get make it all ok.

I would advise you to look for the CDs of Germanys "Kruder & Dorfmeister". A mixture between Dum & Bass, TripHop, HipHop, Trance...

They also do a lot of remixes for other professional artists...

Bass mechanic is terrible, terrible music.....sounds like it was written with a $15 casio key board and a few sample cds. But that's not the point of it, as stated above...its just test music to show off your low lows.....

'Doin Time' by Sublime has to be my favorite song to show off my subs......( again, as mentioned above )

Crystal Method's 'vegas' ( while about 5 years old now ) has some really kickass TB303 lines that can sound pretty amazing....

and while we are on the subject of 303 lines, UNDERWORLD is probably my favorite for writing the really pumping acid-style 303 loops.....
their album 'BEAUCOUP FISH' is probably one of my top 3 cds of all time.

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Victor Wooten is arguably the best electric bassist around.

They usually put the Flecktones in with bluegrass because BF plays banjo. It's more jazz fusion....

Edgar Meyer if you prefer contrabass.

Or visit Mt Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. THAT is serious bass.
