@@Vykk_Draygo ...yep, just found it, looks to be extremely limited (and no doubt pricey)...I put my name on Lull's list just for grins...it's a stunning bass though and sounds great. Thanks for the reply.
I really appreciate Longview. It's totally one of the reasons I started playing bass. I also associate that riff with a lot of bass lines from the 60's. From what I've seen, playing bass with a pick was super common in the 90's.
Ahh she bangs the drum was the first bass line i learnt!!!! Love that song. I remember playing a small stage at Euro Woodstock and practicing, while the stone roses played the mainstage, i jammed along with this tune at the same time they were playing it 😊
I really enjoy watching y'all do these. Your fretting is just impeccable; fingers barely off the strings, always landing just behind the fret, almost like your fingers aren't even moving. My left hand looks like an octopus having a seizure.
Scott plays Groove is in the Heart naturally with 1 and 3 and then takes care to teach it using only 1 and 4. I'm curious as to why? Is it because Ian plays it this way, (using only 1 and 4), or because there is some benefit? Love watching you guys play - thank you kindly for the generous instruction and your contagious enthusiasm 🤘
My favorite era for bass jam sessions I love Blink and others around that era that I grew up on and practiced like crazy to get in music jazz bands at an early age to have fun and jam out afterwards with older kids lol
The Cars, Drive. 1st bass line I actually learned and played in 1989. I had to search for the bonus song, she bangs the drum, I've never heard it before. Wow that bass punches through!!! (on my 20 year old Sony MDR Pro headphones anyway haha)
I'm in my first year and have been learning a lot of rammstein, acdc, and Metallica. As well as a few from pink Floyd, gorrilaz, and other stuff that came out around the time I should have done this back in '98. It's never too late, though. I'm having fun with it. When I don't suck.
Ian your such a master of tone with the HX Stomp. Ive just purchased one because of your videos. I was never a fan of multi fx units but they have vastly improved over the years so looking forward to giving it a go. Can I ask where you got the extra two button add on from ?
Scott is fire on da Bass baby! Keep up the great work mate. I bought your fret progression program. Dude gotta a question. Just bought a new guitar but changing the strings the E string keeps popping before I can tune it to E. Around D#. Anyone ?I bought long scale strings still pop.
You guy's have to do a part 2 , tool sober, offspring bad habit and got get away, space Hogs in the mean time, Alice chain wood, Pantera walk, I'm broken , Megadeth symphony of Destruction, anthrax cover Got the time , RANCID Ruby Soho, Local H Bound for the floor, Metallica the god that fail and my friend of misery, RHCP SUCK MY KISS and many more lol this was awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
If you would forgive a stupid question: What's the benefit of using your fourth instead of your third finger when covering only three frets like both these guys seem to be doing? The way I was taught, the fourth finger goes on the fourth fret (relative to your first finger), or on the octave two strings down.
It's funny how people freak out about playing bass guitar with a pick 🤣 but yet they fail to see since 1951 the P bass guitar and in 1960 the jazz bass guitar have a pick guard on them why oh so you can play with a pick 😅
@@IanMartinAllison sick tone dude. What actual amp are you hearing yourself through? I see two in the background, the Aguilar probably is Scott's amp, the other one i cannot figure out.
Beginner question here : at 3'05, you say that you want to play the lick with finger 1 and 4, not 1 and 3... any reason for that ? I naturally tend to play with finger 1 & 3, i don't know if it's a bad habbit for some reason...
Totally agree. Feels far more intuitive to use 1 & 3 seeing as the next note after the 3rd finger is on the same fret and requires the 4th finger. Everyone's different I suppose
Because it means less of a stretch with the left hand! The pinky also 'tends' to be stronger and more dextrous than the ring finger because the ring finger has a shared tendon with the middle finger. If that fingering works for you though, nothing to stop you using it!
@@devinebass Love the insight! I probably should have added the caviat that I'm a guitarist first and foremost and generally deal within a smaller distance between the frets and that's why the 3rd finger makes more sense haha - I'm a frustrated bass player at heart 😜
Talking about easiest bass lines the band that instantly comes to my mind are The Ramones, they're not from the 90's though. Just strum the root notes with a down stroke and you can nail almost all of their songs.
Some other ones I'd suggest as well are Sabotage from the Beastie Boys, Cannonball by the Breeders, John the Fisherman by Primus (or anything by them really), Higher by Creed (playing that song with my band at an upcoming show and it's surprisingly fun to play), My Friend of Misery or King Nothing by Metallica and Boys & Girls by Blur
If you don’t copying a synth bass line, tune down to E flat and learn “Killer” by Adamski. It is a killer riff (I’ve also got a cover up on my channel) from 1990 :)
Good God, that red & white bass is stunning!
What is it?
@@davidschrader3257 Looks like a Mike Lull IMA4.

Is it red or orange? Beautiful
@@entrigueall2661 ....looks orange to me.
Deee Lite is the band, Groove Is In The Heart is the song, the bassline is sampled from Herbie Hancock's Bring Down The Birds, which is from 1966.
And that high pitched sampled “ah-ah” repeated sound is from the theme song of Green Acres.
❤
And Longview. Guess I can play two, at least.
Which explains the line’s awesomeness.
Their dj towa tei is great too.
The extent to which these are all the songs we all learnt at 15 if you grew up in the 00s is terrifying.
4:37 this is the first song that I saw a lot of guitarrists beginners used to learn when I was a teenager, back in the 00's.
The bassline for 'In the Meantime' by Spacehog 100% deserves to be on this list!

i would add The Breeders - cannonball . i remember it blew my mind when i was in high school. i love this channel btw. tnx for all you do.
I like to play Give it Away on my fretless. It’s fun sliding around! Thanks for the PDF I have an SBL collection😊
I miss my fretless P-bass for sliding riffs
Feels illegal to be this early in the comments! Love the content guys!
Just as I thought "why is the bass line of Longview never on these lists?" - BOOM - they play Longview! One of the all time coolest bass lines!
This is so great, some of the first songs I learned in my first year were Give It Away and Killing In The Name.
Bloody lovely stuff chaps, the Mani present was lovely. some Andy Rourke Smiths bass would be nice

@@devinebass Thanks! Now I just need to get some strings. Cut the old ones off before I found out the new ones I had wouldn't fit. Doh!

I propose to you a song of an italian band of the 90s: - C.S.I. “Forma e sostanza”… all played with the pick. Believe me! She deserves to be heard.
Nice ! I think one of the songs was Self Esteem which "pushed" me to play bass !!! Thanks
Great video.. ty.. awesome to learn these cool riffs in less than 30 minutes.. hoping for many more videos to bookmark.
Keep up the great videos brothers 🤘🏻
All the stuff I learnt when I first picked up a bass in the 90's :D interesting on a fretless 😆man I love that Stone Roses tune.
first ones I ever learnt were "Gigantic" (Pixies) and "A Forest" (The Cure)
Ian your such a master of tone with the HX Stomp. Ive just purchased one because of your videos. I was never a fan of multi fx units but they have vastly improved over the years so looking forward to giving it a go. Can I ask where you got the extra two button add on from ?
Longview is such an incredible bass line
💯💯💯
In high school I was big fan of Blink 182. I`ve learn almost all of songs. It helps me to Play fast and in right tempo.
I’m Free by The Soup Dragons is another absolute winner of a bass line.
All the things i played when learning, with a focus on RATM & RHCP... 😎🤟
Would love to see some Mark Sandman
Классный канал. Спасибо
Guys killing it on the P bass !
These are the songs that made me want to play music! Also, I never realised that I need a bass with racing stripes until now.
🧡🧡🧡
Zero by Smashing Pumpkins was one of the first I learned back in the day
I love that orange and white-stripped bass! :D
Good god i love this channel.
What bass is Scott rocking it’s gorgeous
That's a Mike Lull IMA4!

Go and check things over with a tech, because the low E string should not be breaking before you get to E!!

You should do "Orange Colored Sky " next 🤞 (in the spirit of "Fallout"😉..)
Deffo gunna give a couple of these a bash guys!
Have fun with them!!
Sooo fun ❤❤❤❤
How about a BONUS song #2 and throw in a song from Jane's Addiction? Eric Avery's lines are tasty!
Not my decade (I’m old) but great stuff!
Scott and Ian just work so well together!
Come down by bush. So fun
Scott please use a bass with fret markers when doing a video for beginners, it'd be much easier to see what you're doing👀Thank you
Ears, these are the miraculous organs you might use ;-)
The link for the workbook opens up the nirvana workbook
Every epp is a triumph gents! More short scale bashing please 😂
Can you guys do a video about Mike Dirnt and talk about more than just Longview?
Potentially at some point!
Best 90s bass lines: The Distance by Cake, and any Jamiroquai song.
Cool Nirvana bassline, though Lounge act is the best on that record for me

The way I was taught, the fourth finger goes on the fourth fret (relative to your first finger), or on the octave two strings down.
Because sometimes playing 'finger-per-fret' can be a real stretch, especially when you're playing close to the nut!
You get a like just for including the stone roses
Okay, I'm a J Bass guy but that P Bass is hitting HARD !
Love to see some love given to Mani / Stone Roses on this channel. The guy is a badass
It's funny how people freak out about playing bass guitar with a pick 🤣 but yet they fail to see since 1951 the P bass guitar and in 1960 the jazz bass guitar have a pick guard on them why oh so you can play with a pick 😅
I’m definitely not a rock guy. I love you still 😉🙏
How did Ian get that tone on this p-bass? DI or Mic?
DI with my Ultimate Amp preset on the HX Stomp - basically a tweaked SVT amp / cab sim 👍🏼
@@IanMartinAllison sick tone dude. What actual amp are you hearing yourself through? I see two in the background, the Aguilar probably is Scott's amp, the other one i cannot figure out.
The other rig behind Ian is a Vanderkley Spartan and an MNT112. Behind Scott is a Barefaced Big Twin!
What do you guys think about spending some time on punk rock? Like NOFX, Rancid, AFI?
We really need caps and jacket links along with the tabs gents!
What's the red bass? Cool livery, pity the pegs are on the bottom, sort of loses its vibe a little.
That's a Mike Lull IMA4

Dee Lite!
Stone Roses for the win!!
Hey , anyone bassist from Sweden who wanna join Nirvana Tribute?
The F# on the chorus on Whats My Age Again is played an octave up!
Bullet in the Head, I would not describe the bassline at the middle and end as “easy” 😉

Opinions on danelectro bass thinking about getting one because I have chronic pain due to a wreck and I can’t play my squire jazz bass

1st yr? 3rd day....lets go!! ♿️....♿️....
💥💥Us metal & rock- peole wouldn't dream of NOT being able to play with a pick. THE BEST: SHARKFIN!!!💥💥

Hey cool, first year of bass. And first year of bass when you're 61 ?-)) There"s only one line (maybe 2) I will learn.....
Talking about easiest bass lines the band that instantly comes to my mind are The Ramones, they're not from the 90's though. Just strum the root notes with a down stroke and you can nail almost all of their songs.
Sorry I’m a bit confused here. I thought they gave away the custom IMA4? Was this recorded before the giveaway or what?
Yes, we recorded this shortly before the bass was handed over to the winner. :)
Yes, don’t worry I can assure you I have it!
As someone who is in their first year, just wanted to say thanks. 🙏
You guys rock and I love your videos!
ey Scott, did you check the "Flatter" to play fretless on a freted bass?
4:30 - Esa no me la vi
Some other ones I'd suggest as well are Sabotage from the Beastie Boys, Cannonball by the Breeders, John the Fisherman by Primus (or anything by them really), Higher by Creed (playing that song with my band at an upcoming show and it's surprisingly fun to play), My Friend of Misery or King Nothing by Metallica and Boys & Girls by Blur
Good choices there!!
@@devinebass Some potential picks for a Part 2 lol but thanks, those are some of my personal favourites as well
When I saw “easy 90’s bass lines that are incredible” the first song I thought of was “Good” by Better Than Ezra. Sad it didn’t make the cut.
I just find it hard to believe that Scott knows Longview but not Self Esteem 😅
She bangs the drums was 1989.
okay mate

Helmet unsung
cannonball by the breeders not too hard for beginners and most people will recognize the line
She Bangs the Drums is 80s. 😉
Not a big fan of our new flag. But it dose make a better hat.
Never understood why so many people teaching guitar licks or bass lines on RUclips do so with an un-marked fret board. Who's your audience?
They show tabs in the video... and one guy does have dot markers
