TOP 10 LIMP BIZKIT BASS LINE

[@julianthesmooshyhusky8976]

Sam rivers really knew how to use the space Borland gave him with all his ambient effects. Fieldy and Ryan Martinie get all the love in nu metal but Sam is totally in the conversation

[@nordimejia5790]

Fieldy?.... he is an awful bass player

@@lookerhood-peru for sure. I really meant more like for popularity than skill. Ryan and rivers can definitely run circles around Fieldy

[@HarryHopkinson]

Sam is amazing! I think few put on a life performance as energetic as him also. Arguably though.... I think the whole limp bizkit band where awesome at their individual crafts. They get a lot of stick because of Fred, BUT also at the same time.... Cant imagine any one else fronting that band with such success! what a band!!!

[@rockoutconsiderably]

One thing about Limp Bizkit that never gets talked about is the introspective parts, and Sam's bass playing really brings these sections of songs to the forefront

[@AyBi_Studio]

Boiler. Sam is the best player that no one talks about. Not a single boring or common bass line in his work.

[@notimportant3686]

are you joking?... did you watch the video?.... all the riffs are literally in the same spot on the neck with the same notes?... seriously, watch again and pay attention

[@AyBi_Studio]

@notimportant3686 tell me you don't play an instrument without telling me anything.. The melody is what matters, not the position. What songs and bass lines did you write? And seems like you are minority here

agreed he is a great player, the bass part for Boiler is fantastic, so melodic.

[@tomasbeno1593]

love it, honestly whole hate about LB was about Fred , but instrumentaly they are totaly awesome

[@saidoterodiseno]

Now it seems Fred has grow and matured as a person (form one can see on interviews, of course) and he's a great frontman who knows how to put on a show. I like his melodic voice also, he's not a bad singer. Limp Bizkit wouldn't be Limp Bizkit without Fred. That said, of course each of the band members are phenomenal musicians.

[@Jose-fm6yu]

Actually 😔

[@gabegrinff]

@@saidoterodisenoTBH I think Fred has possibly just always been a marketing genius who was able to make LB huge in a way most other numetal bands weren’t through being obnoxious. Reading on the history of te band it seems like he always hustled to get gigs for them. And agreed on his singing, I think “The One” is a super underrated track

[@hektixkitzo]

Not a LB fan, but as a fan of music and metal in general, Fred is a good song writer, he has a great voice and vocal melodies.

[@D3ft0ne]

Sam has been such an inspiration to me when I started out playing bass, amazing simplicity and musicality in his riffs. Together with Wes they are a powerhouse.

[@LS1Highwind]

Sam, Wes and John worked so well together. Very underrated band music wise. Everyone recognizes and loves wes and so do i. But all 3 were talented af.

Sam is legitimately the reason I developed an interest in the bass

[@just_jarman]

Stuck has always been a favorite. Good playing bro! Never realized how much Sam pulled style from Les Claypool at times.

[@Ddrumsdzz]

Boiler bassline my fav, melodic and sets the feel for the song. Great work on all them man u nailed the sound 🤘

[@robalnikola3854]

Honestly one of the more underrated bassline in LB discography is the bridge section in Full Nelson

[@luisracero9683]

Yes.

[@tk-hf4oz]

Rivers sure loves tritones. Such an unique interval but god damn it sounds good.

Limp Bizkits so legit.... There's always something interesting going on in the big, and small spaces of their music.

[@zeusm11]

I’ve always loved LB, I know Chocolate Starfish by heart. LB gets so much hate, but they have some absolute gems. Musically they did something unique and special. When I moved to JAX I would ask any musician and music store employee if LB we’re looked at as hero’s in the 2000’s, and I heard so many stories about Bizkit fro mute early days. This video is a true gem and I’m glad this video exist because it just shows how unique Bizkit were and are.

[@visiblesailorsstorys8918]

Top playing, tone is fantastic I play an 06 thumb and you cannot beat that Warwick tone

[@garrettgeary5531]

Bass line in The One is worth mentioning

[@mesa620]

Came here to say that. It’s a great one.

[@ZapZapZap0]

Nice vid man. A bassline that should be included for me its from the song "The Truth", not very popular song but really great bassline, a real challenge for training endurance. Keep it up 🤘

[@crtl5911]

But what is the purpose of that A# all the time I thought it was a an F# the lowest, or an G# or a regular C# tuning like when he does drop B I'm so confused, btw sam was the only reason I play instruments, I watched the 2001 live in germany, he was so serious and low-key on the band all these years and I kinda felt like it was my personality reflected as an performer..

[@jozefrevay4710]

Sam used G# i thought he used standart B but no

[@stevesleziak5501]

All it takes is 2 or 3 badass musicians to make a band. BUT IT HAS TO CLICK! All 3 can have 3 different styles but at the end of the day, it has to work collectively. That's what makes putting a band together so difficult.

[@stevesleziak5501]

To put it in short terms, Limp Bizkit found lightning in a bottle and exploited it in the best way they could.

[@sebasdiego786]

Autotunage has a awesome bass line

[@chrisbouthillier4836]

How is The One not on this list??!?

[@abulkhairov]

Great playing fellow bassist! I see you tuned down your bass 3 half-steps down. It's incredibly convenient. I play LB songs on a standard GDAEB tuning, so the open C# is a 2nd fret of 5th, sometimes inconvenient, but thinking to do same tuning as you. Do you use default strings? or larger string size?
