Your Favorite Basslines / The Fight Against Oompa-itis

Ever heard to the intro of a new trance track and said, "Is that the only bassline so-and-so could have used here?" I'm talking specifically about oompa-oompa in A. You know, rest-note-rest-note in 8ths, the old hard house standard.

To me, the most rollin' tracks have growling, unique basslines; even if they're one-noters. Lange - Drifting Away (Original Mix) has a good one. Or Marco V-Godd (Original Mix).

What are some of your favorite basslines?
Let us find a cure for Oompa-itis! It's an epidemic!

Disclaimer: Yes, I do like that oompa bassline when it's mixed nicely with delay and other lines and such. But sometimes enough is enough!

There is also the
"running bassline"

X---X---X---X--- Kick
xxXxxxXxxxXxxxXx Small x= the octave youd normally use for a bass. Big X=one octave higher.

Then u can variate by

xxXxXxXxxxXxXxXx or
xxXXxxXxxxXxXxXx etc etc etc

Another common one:
X---X---X---X--- Kick
--X--X----X--X-- Bass.

The gouryella Style Ferry one:
-xXx-xXx-xXx-xXx (Same as before big X is one octave higher than the little x)
-xxz-xxz-xxz-xxz Z being an octave lower than the little X
course u can exchange the z with x, or the x with big X and z with little x, endless possibilities!


i could go on about this, its just about experimenting ;-D
Hope you guys understand lol

To clear all confusion, yes I meant kick-BASS-kick-BASS. Ishkur called it oompa-oompa first anyway.

Or in step-sequencer lingo:

kick X---X---X---X---
bass --X---X---X---X-

I always try to create a different bassline than the basic 4/4 bass.

You only need a few variations here and there to make the tune stand out from the crowd.

Come to think of it - none of my very favourite tracks have the "basic" bassline in it...

Oh, and thanks for those bassline examples, everyone - I'll surely try them on my next tracks
