Ok, this is mainly just to see if there’s anyone else here. But what’s your favorite bass line to play?

I’ll necropost here. I love the Motown bass lines, stuff like
- “What’s Going On”
- “Signed, Sealed, Delivered”
- “Bernadette”
- “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”
Other songs I have enjoyed playing are:
- Hysteria by Muse
- Runaway by Jamiroquai (but also Runaway by Bruno Mars)
- Can’t Feel My Face by The Weeknd
- everything by Stevie Wonder really, though “Jammin” is one of my comfort songs to play
But I just started playing fretless so now I’m learning:
- “Wuthering Heights” by Kate Bush
- “Wherever I Lay My Hat”, Paul Young’s cover of the Motown classic
- “Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down” by Paul Young
Not ready yet for Kate Bush’ Babooshka and Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al” though I suppose I could get started with some other songs from the Graceland album if I want to eat the fingerboard.
Any other suggestions for a fretless beginner who loves the “mwah” sound?
Getting my first bass tomorrow, lessons start on Thursday… if I could pull any one song out of the ether and play it perfectly it would be Higher Ground.
Either version :)
