Dig out that old record if you can (the needle doesn't fly off either).

NONONO, sorry. The song is "I feel love" by Donna Summers.

Listen to that... not the other one. (Jeeze, I'm sure anyone who listened to that expecting the bassline I described would have WTF'd pretty hard.)

Anyway, "I feel love" by Donna Summers. <------Right song. I'm just hoping she didn't do many mixes (it was on a "single" LP.)

A bassline I made long time ago but couldn't find the file, so I recreated it. Not the same notes but oh well.

Clicky here!

Excellent thread....Big thanks to all who posted with diff basslines

haha ive done that... sounded pretty good with lots of distortion and filtering

Mods make it a sticky...

I don't know about favourite... But something that doesn't sound robotic.

Bassline from prog track I'm currently working on:

|====|===^|====|===^

==== : long note
^ : octave higher

Can anyone tell how to use yousendit.com. It gives me error? Or if you know other places to upload a sample?

Why does every one have to make monotone basslines? Octaves aren't the only intervals, you know.

|d-d-|fd-f|d-d-|fd-f|

^ This is from a track that I've been working on lately. Letters correspond to note names.

I also like the bass line from BT-Remember.

Cause it's easier to select all your notes and move them ie. from A to G without some notes going to wrong places.

Here's a short 7 min clip of the bassline I mentioned above.

I haven't done one in a while, so here it goes...another crappy bassline. You can notice the simple single note bassline in the background.

Ah, but then would it not be easier to just eschew creativity altogether and throw down an off-beat bassline, thus voiding this thread as a whole?

Hey I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I only answered to your question.

Good question!

I *heart* acid basslines, personally. Say what you will about the 303, I still have not found any other synth that comes even close to that level of versatility. Anybody heard the acid line from Poxymusic - Our Break?
