| 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. :rolleyes: |

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 :cool:
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. |

| The theme from one of the versions of that video game Donkey Kong, while not very interesting music, has a chunk of 28 Hz in it. Enya's Long Ships on the Watermark CD is virtually devoid of bass except for a 33Hz fundamental on an every-now-and-then drum beat. Nice for demoing a sub to the uninitiated. :devilr: |

try A TRIBE CALLED QUEST - THE LOVE MOVEMENT
i personally haven't heard the no another cd that has SOOOOO much of bass and it's deep |
|

| joensd |
If you like jazzy funk&soul try Erykah Badu´s "Baduizm".
One of the few albums that makes my windows seem to smash turning it all the way up.
Some solo projects of bass players are nice as well, although too technical "musicalwise". For example : Marcus Miller, MeShell NdegeOcello "Peace beyond passion"
Basically you´re right:A lot of bands don´t have a proper bass player who knows how to groove.
My favourites are from : Free, Bad Company, Crowded House and Jamiroquai.

Intersting circlotron. What is the majority equipment out there? Boombox? How about the tweeter frequency range? 8kHz to 10kHz? What are music equipments to generate such a suitable frequencies? A "tub" "tub" on the butt? How about making a group band for the majority consumers, circlotron? Intersted?
BASS
What is bass? Low frequencies? How low? How many decible? A CD music with a very low frequency may sound great on a system that is able to generate the frequency. On some systems, you won't hear anything. But I will regard a tub tub on the butt as a bass, anyway :devilr: |

Jimmy Rowles and Ray Brown : "Tasty"
Acoustic piano and bass.
Track 3 : You can hear Ray Brown breathing as he plays the extended solo with Jimmy Rowles snapping his finger to keep time. This is main stream jazz. No electonic music, all real human beings.
The whole album is great. |

i don't know if the guy wants bass, as in a bass player in a band, or bass as in techno/rap whatever ..
for the first case, i suggest john paul jones, flea, victor wooten (as before suggested) .. can't think of many more now
but a lot of jazz has a sweet bassline |

No disrespect to the above mentioned artists, but one of the very best bassists in my humble opinion would have to be Mr. Les Claypool. He's an <b>amazing</b> bassist was well as a musical genius. Check out some of his projects; Primus, Cpt. Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade, Oysterhead, etc.
(An interesting side fact, he actually tried out as the replacement for Cliff Burton, and was refused the job by the members of Metallica on the grounds that he was too good.) |

i've only one primus cd .. i think its called 'brown' .. but its cool, very cool :)
very good bass stuff |

well, that's sorta the joke of it. They are all pretty terrible. I have one called "sonic overload" or something like that.
It's 2 cds...1 is just test tones ( which is pretty useful ), and the other is the crappiest **** music you have ever heard.
Every song is just an excuse to make your car shake.
I suppose if you were into Booty music, like 2 live crew, then you MIGHT enjoy one or two of the songs.

I told you in the above post, the CD i have is called SONIC OVERLOAD. I wont say its NOT for listnening, because some people may have tastes like this. To me it sounds like a poor vehicle for low bass, and i cant consider it music.
If you want good bass music to listen to Matttcattt, may i suggest two albums that will bottom your car out with the low lows AND be cool to listen to at the same time. Both albums have JUNO keyboard sub-bass parts that people can hear from a block away.
The first is PHOTEK : Modus Operandi.
The second is RONI SIZE / REPRAZENT : New Forms
Buy these two albums, and your bass need will be satiated for a long time.
Problem solved

| Listen to any "Who" album pre-Quadrophenia and check out John Entwistle's style. My favorite is "Young Man Blues" from the "Live at Leeds" LP. I only mention the UK LP, I have not heard this record on CD or US vinyl however. This guy is busy like no other rock bass player I've heard, Geddy Lee(Rush) is also a fine player.:) |

I can recommend Victor Wooten as well, specially the CD "A show of hands".
A very fine record with nice LF content (but not restricted to this) is "Norwegian Mood" by the Norwegian singer Kari Bremnes.
I have two test CDs that were produced by the Swiss Highend Society that are going down to 16 Hz. The one that is called "Impressions" is mostly with acoustic instruments. On this one there is an organ that is going that low. On the newer one that is called "Explosion" there is a synthesizer track that is going down to 16 hz.
Regards

I think lot of people think bass ( boom boom :bigeyes: ) and not bass guitar.
Listen Victor Wooten ( Bass Extreme 2, Ying Yang, Live América ) Marcus Miller ( M2, the sun don't lie ) Stanley Clarke ( East River Drive ) Jaco Pastorius ( Birthday Concert, Invitation... ) If you can't find these record, you can easily find good bass player with band like The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Level 42, Primus, Infectious Groove, and many many more
...and you can do an opinion with this topic :idea: If you would just listen one CD... listen Bass Extreme 2 by Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey... great CD
:nod: |

bass mechanik are the stupidest songs ive ever heard
even gameboy music is better
i did encode them as 56kbps ogg files ,bassmechanik that is :-P
if u want a strange song with 32hz bass or so,
'bjork- hyperballad' i think the words are strange,but i enjoy the continous tones on my new jbl :-D
use filesharing programs if songs are unavailable to get.>also if you like bugs,viri and other good things:p <
i did get 'thx ultimate bass test' or something,it only goes to 32hz.
i like it,goes well.
with my 33hz tuned jbl, i notice more bass in songs that wasnt there
Chemical brothers! get some of them,such as 'block rocking beats',and another that i forgot the name of :(
> im not on the right pc <
also im looking for real music now! not just bass!
il try getting some of these tunes.
i prefer quality and richness to stupid sinewave bass like nelly,and mc hammer L0L
:dead: :) |
