House basslines

Making or should i say trying to make house musik is something different for me.

Can someone please give a few examples of house basslines. It would be appreciated.

ideed a house bass is much more complicated than a trance bass which can be quite monotone.

house basslines have their roots somewhere in late 70s disco and funk. try starting with walking basses or listen to real bassists of that 70s style

Try creating a walking bassline and if you can picture oompaloompas dancing to it...you got your a House bassline, Buddy!!!

What's a walking bassline?

It's like a running bassline. Maybe alittle slower.

alternate the size of the note,alternate the octave
add some distortion make it a bit dirty ,,add some res in real time
and make it funky and have fun

use syncopation... put the base on beats you dont normally.

ive played bass for 9 years so it comes naturally to me.

one funky bassline, repeat, a variation, repeat, a breakdown, etcettera...

dont vary too much or you lose the "groove"
