Bass is like eyebrows, you don’t know how important they are until they’re gone

My friend literally asked what does the bass do and i'm like:

I play bass and everyone’s like “oh nice guitar” “why does your guitar only have 4 strings” “what is a bass?”

I'm a guitarist, but there's nothing better than good bass

The most under appreciated instrument of all time.

Two years ago I watched this video. Three days later I bought a bass and have been playing ever since. Thank you for inspiring me to pick up the bass guitar.

People will end up realising that most of the iconic sounds are actually coming from bass and not a guitar.

The bass is the best instrument ever. It has the most pleasing sounds across all genres

Not a ‘lead’ bass line, but Hotel California’s bass line drives the mood of that song perfectly.

That Gorillaz Feel Good Bass intro is so recognizable yet underrated

Anybody else looking up the bass cuz it’s their favorite instrument and they want it for Christmas or is that just me

I was not ready for the transition from stand by me to for whom the bell tolls😂😂😂

John Deacon, master !

2:11 I thought that was the Bikini Bottom Police Department theme for a second

I HAD A FEELING FEEL GOOD INC WAS GONNA BE IN HERE AND OH BOY IT FEELS GOOD

I love how he goes from stand by me to for whom the bell tolls lol

bass is like Mario’s moustache, His face is horrifying without it

never thought i could be attracted to an instrument but here we are

0/8 no Seinfeld

At first, I got triggered when he played Under Pressure instead of Another One Bites the Dust because I mean, let's be real, but the ending saved me

Everyone: Noice guitar! me: ITS A BASSSSS

As a bass player, I must say we have the best parts in songs

*Very, impressive... can u do the- - - -* *oops wrong channel*

The whole video I was like “Wth where’s another one bites the dust?” Aaaand then it was there waiting for me at the end. I love you DEACY!

I'm a regular 6-string guitar player and always took bass for granted until I started adding my own bass parts into home recording mix tracks. I quickly learned that the bass has the ability to change the feel and mood of any rhythm and melody part simply by alternating the bass lines and notes that are being ridden on underneath the rest of the tracks. It's changed my outlook of the instrument and I'm begrudgingly starting to admit that it's the most important part in any mix, which is quite humbling being a dedicated 6-string player.

Top 4 in no order: -Feel Good Inc. -Money -Peace Sells -For Whom the Bell Tolls

Where is The Chain by Fleetwood Mac

2:48 Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. 3:02 James Brown - I Feel Good Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

I was like “if I don’t see feel good inc or at least one queen song it’s about to go down” and luckily both of them were there your a legend dude :)

Those classic songs are indeed well played and instantly recognizable.

Yes - Roundabout? why not?

This makes me want to learn bass more than I already do.

im going to learn bass right now because it's just so cool and i love the sound of it :)) any tips?

Wow, the tone of My friend of Misery is incredible. Sounds just like the album.

I'm sooo happy that there are 2 Queen songs in this video because *Deacy is a fucking legend* and he's a cute little bean only Queen fans will understand me.

For all you Queen fans: 3:53 and 4:28 your welcome.

I'm a guitarrist. A Bassist is my "Wingman". They're irreplaceable and essencial.

Also, Journey’s “Stone in Love” bass line is pretty damn sweet.

All of these are great basslines, but I feel like Can't Stop is pretty damn recognizable

Why am I here? I'm not a bassist...

There's no such thing as thunder it's just cliff Burton playing his bass in heaven

2:49 Don’t mind me just playing this a few hundred times

When I heard Feel Good Inc. I feelt happy, because that bass line is so famous. glad to see some RHCP on here as well.

Roses are red Violets are blue This is a bass Use 4th finger too

I honestly love bass than any other instrument. It has one of the best sounds.

The bassline in Dark Necessities is also really really good!

NOTE: I do not know when I will make another videos due to a serious illness. I really do apologize for that. Cheers Guys and Girls \m/

I came here just expecting to hear John Deacon's iconic bass lines, you saved the best for last I see! Also, this video made me remember I love Interpol's Evil bass line is awesome too!

Weirdly the bass is easily the best part of smoke on the water.

3:51 john deacon getting the recognition he deserves

The baseline for Livin on a Prayer is cooler during the chorus

Why does your guitar have 4 strings?? 🤔🤔🤔

I love bass 👍

for anyone who likes bands with a dominant bass, check out "The stone roses" amazing band. two of my personal favourites are 'I wanna be adored' and ' i am the Resurrection'

Come Together is probably the most obvious choice.

“NiCe GuItAr”

Thank you for being the only bass player I've ever seen or heard play for whom the bell tolls correctly. You have the wah/fuzz and everything.

metallica my friend of missery = nostalgia nocturnal depression

Before this, I got a 104 minute ad.

Props for including the classic Peter Gunn theme popularly heard in the Blues Brothers! 😎 Was surprised to hear I Feel Good and Livin on a Prayer here-never fully appreciated how much of a role the bass plays in those classics. Honorable mention here has to be given to The Real Me by The Who!! That whole song is just an ongoing bass solo!

This man makes it seem so effortlessly and I been playing for almost 3 years

I'm very grateful that Tool was recognised.

roses are red we all blink i never expected FEEL FRICKING GOOD INC

My youth, right here. Hanging out in Old Bridge. Pool parties with James & Cliff. All nighth drink fests. Walking around NYC and showing the boys the "sights". Getting lost in Brooklyn. R.I.P. Cliff. They've never been able to replace you....

That transition from stand by me to for Metallica tho 😂

Lmao I was just thinking “Come together has a great bass line” RIGHT after I tought that come together came omg

The lack of The Less I know the Better by Tame Impala upsets me greatly

I’ve been playing the base for about 4 days now and I know how to do house of the rising sun and I love it! I played the guitar for about a week before that for music class and my music teacher told me I’d do better on the base and he was right.

Thought about giving up on learning an instrument, than I saw this video and have my heart set on bass

Great list. "Roundabout" by Yes has insane bassline.

killing in the name RATM

I watched this video a few years ago, and I had never listened to Tool (except for those songs on guitar hero 4). Now it's one of my favorite bands, and this was the video that made me want to listen to the band. Thank you for that!

Just learning now aged 43. I love it. Started in lock down xx

so many comments about him missing the chain, the title doesn't say, "every good bass line ever"

Thank you for including the Beatles, they’re my favorite band

Definitely enjoyed the selection, and the clean tones of the instrument itself!

this video is the reason I started playing bass lol literally 5 seconds into it, it got me really interested

This guy: plays every well known song to a bass player. My friends: Hey, play something for us!!!! Me: plays twinkle twinkle little star. I have played for four years and that’s the first thing that comes to my head Lol.

I was worried until Money made an appearance.

The way he plays, from the fretboard, to the picking. He plays guitar on bass. :P

Love how this video is titled (Instantly recognisable) then gives you the title of the at the start of each riff. Thanks.

I was waiting for Money by Pink Floyd!!! 😂😂

Thank you for making it Under Pressure and not fuckin Ice Ice Baby.

The bass line from 'Tempus Fugit' by Yes from the 'Drama' album (1980) is amazing as well, one of my favorites.

I’m a drummer of 10 years and I really tried to get into guitar back in the lockdown but it just never stuck. I think the bass is more appealing to me bc bass and drums for the most part are so heavily rooted together within a songs structure. Also if I ever come up w a melody in my head, it always sounds more like a bass line rather than a guitar part.

Is it just me or is queen building a fanbase like BTS thirty years after its existence. The Bohemian Rhapsody movie is probably the reason tho. Partly

I’m glad you included gorillaz

"Money" is the best.

i came to this vid bc i really love the way bass guitar sounds on my new headphones, and now I actually have a bass guitar and am learning to play. quite the evolution.

0/10 no seinfeld

Red hot chili peppers-dark necessities. Anyone?

I do realize now, how strong and effective of a support the bass guitar can be, some may say that a bassist is a failed guitarist, but in actuality the bass, is a completely different instrument, and without it, the song would feel hollow and empty!

I used to have that same Cort bass. Loved it.

Longview by Green Day?

I was waiting for feel good lol

this was a pretty good list. good job at playing them by the way:)

You see that crowd dancing? They're not moving to the drums or lead guitar, they're dancing to the groovy bass!
