Yeah I'm on the search for some music which include a lot of bass. I prefer Stonerrock and stuff like that not electronic music. Like Dead Kennedys has a lot of bass.
The Clash's Paul Simonon is a dub-punk god.
Rush uses lots of bass in their songs, in fact like a secondary guitar more than a bass listen to yyz you will see
Depends what you mean by bass. Do you mean Bass as in Bass guitar. In which case go listen to some: Infectious grooves, (Rob Trujillo) - Certainly His better work In my opinion. Red hot chili Peppers, (Michael "Flea" Balzary) Rush, (Geddy Lee) Level 42, (Mark King) Incognito, (Various) Funkadelic, (Bootsy Collins) Graham Central Station, (Larry Graham) Sly & The Family Stone, (Larry Graham) Reel Big Fish, (Matt Wong) The Who, (The Late John Entwistle) Mr. Big, (Billy Sheehan) Michael Jackson, (Louis "Thunderthumb" Johnson on Thriller...) Tower Of power, (Francis Prestia) weather report (The Late Jaco Pastorius) Or bass as In sub-bass subwoofer crunching, In which case I don't have any recommendations because I don't listen to mud.
The song No One Knows by Green Day has an epic bassline.

[QUOTE=Kamern;16856470]To be honest, the stuff Christopher Wolstenholme actually plays is quite easy, I've seen one of my friends play some of his work, and he told me it was all quite easy to learn, even Hysteria.[/QUOTE] From a creativity standpoint he is doing far more than most modern bassists, Wether it's hard or not is irrelevent. Bootsy collins' lines throughout Funkadelic aren't hard by any stretch of the imagination.. Did that stop him becoming an icon? ;) - He has feel and a sense of groove that is (in my opinion) Unmatched. As soon as peiople realise it's not about how hard it is, It's about how creative it is the better. Fast sweep picking melodic multi-key solos to a double bass blast beat of death may be hard, but it isn't anything that 200 other guitarists/Bassists haven't done. I think because of this "Hard is better" attitude we are starting to loose overall feel in modern music - Listen to steve Gadd On drums, His sense of dynamics is incredible, He sometimes even goes to hit a tom and will pull back because He decides otherwise. - Now listen to... hell.. My favorite band (To prove I am not Biased).. The red hot chili peppers (Chad Smith), The feel is there, the dynamics not so much. This is the reason going to music trade shows has become irritating, Everywhere you look, Young bassists slapping these overly complex bass lines that lack feel or any kind of running theme, They are incoherent and messy. Guitarists tapping out stupidly fast things that make no theoretical sense. (This isn't a rant at you specifically, It's to the whole music scene in general)
