For me the groove and tone of the pre-chorus bass riff in Happiness in Slavery is pretty underrated

[@snakysissy]

The live version of Sanctified with Pino Palladino is so good

[@ChairShotCards]

A personal favorite of mine has always been Just Like You Imagined

[@nancykillsyou]

Ditto. Weird time signature. Love it

[@EnthalpyH]

I've always loved the With Teeth bass line, so simple but catchy.

[@irok81]

Good shit dude mangus

[@robertsimington911]

Excellent work

[@PagaKnight]

Should have fit into the void in as a number 11, simple but I love that one haha. Sweet selection though, well played dude

[@politracks1810]

I love into the void too, def on a second video if i make one (:

[@NorthLoftier]

NIN has some pretty sick basslines, but even better bass riffs, as in lead tones.

[@gettingcloser]

[@politracks1810]

Awesome showing the NIN bass riffs!

[@railroadtommyochoa]

Well that got me going . Great bounce , feel , tone and an inspirational demonstration. Thanks, man …. There was a couple is there that I was off a note or two and had been a nagging at me for a bit. Not anymore ! Thanks again

[@politracks1810]

Nothing scratches an itch quite like "oooooh that's what the bass is doing" lol

[@FernandoFlores-uk5dv]

thank you sooooo much,. i was trying to play the only time and finally got it watching you!!! also, im kinda newbie playing the bass, so it was hard to know that your tunning was a whole step down (D G C F) anyway, your stnning!!!!

[@dad2625]

Capital G hits hard

[@breadoge8071]

God, i need taba for all thia masterpiece

[@LC-vw6hv]

Awesome

[@bobinchainz]

No La Mer !?

[@AngeloRafael2023]

I know, it's too simple, but i like the Only bassline

[@politracks1810]

One of my faves too, and if you play the synth bass line in the chorus, it's actually a pretty fun song to play (:

[@partytimejew]

Very good 🤝

[@marvinbergamo4571]

how did you get this bass tone?

[@Pufflers]

piggy is the first thing i learned on bass

[@militantmind7353]

No Santified?

[@HumanoidMachine]

Whaaat no Sunspots??

[@politracks1810]

Always gotta make room for a sequel you know :D

[@dawgebredd]

ruiners bridge tho...

[@Hellspawn7426]

Tuning for closer?

[@politracks1810]

Drop C :) every song on the P bass is standard D, the Stingray songs are in drop C

[@Pogokoala]

@@politracks1810 WOW that is very very well play, I'll pay for those tabs if there was that option.

[@user-mb0vf0mk0s]

@@Pogokoala don't bother replying not suggesting the price or that won't pass as genuine

[@Pogokoala]

@@user-mb0vf0mk0s it still would have been good enough

[@Gatsquatch.300]

With teeth

[@snow_monkey]

I want to hear you, not the CD

[@moliver_xxii]

or use the multitracks as a way to only have the bass from @politracks1810 :-)

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

Most of their actually best bassline are not on their list, simply because they aren't played by a bass guitar

[@politracks1810]

These are just 10 of my favorites, as the title suggests (: Personally music is too subjective imo for there to be a definitive list of "the best basslines"
