5 Famous Synth Bass Lines 

I really like playing synth bass :) but cannot play the bass guitar 😁

@@NicolasMelis I started playing piano/keyboards when I was 12. Then I picked up bass guitar when I was 23 (I'm 51 now). It only took me like 6 weeks to learn how to play well enough to play out with others in public. If you play synth bass with your left hand primarily, that translates so easily into fretting movements. You already know how basslines work in the musical/rhythmic/harmonic sense, so that's half the battle already! All you need to learn is the fretboard (way easier than on a guitar) and developing plucking/picking/slapping technique.

@@elsongs do you think i should try?:)

Actually i just wanted to make a video about playing these synth bass lines:) It wasn't my intention to imply that they were played on the exact same synths I used, which is unlikely anyway :)

Thank you 🙏! I ve played along with original many times and tried to listen to the bass line :)

Tom Browne tune is one of my fav too! I think i have to do a part 2 :)

@@NicolasMelis I would love to hear a part 2. Btw, this version of ABC's Look Of Love is my favorite when it comes to the bass line. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qq3AfK-klKc.html

Oh cool cause i was searching for it and in the original is not a synth bass ! Thanks

After i posted my first reply to your clip i have come up with a few more great tunes with amazing synth bass lines. First is another Chaka Khan song Best In The West which has much of the same flavour as We Can Work It Out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RMiAl8qwJM4.html Another song with an amazing bass line is probably less known among most people but for me it is one of the great 80's amazing tunes with an amazing break where the synth bass goes bananas. Candela is the name of the group and the song is Love You Madly and it is produced by Amir Bayyan who formerly went by the name Kevin Bell and was known for being a member of Kool & The Gang along with his two brothers Robert "Kool" Bell and Ronald Bell. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1HtyHI0Z9mo.html Finally i also came to think about a song from the early 90's which is Don't Wanna Fall In Love with Jane Child. It may not have the same distinct kind of bass line like the others but it is still what makes the song tick in my opinion. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zWd__w5UWVc.html

@@notbugs thank you!! Will check them out 🙏

Thanks Lars! Unfortunately i don’t have an Arp Odyssey… just watched your tutorial :) well done 👏

I would love to have a moog source but i dont :)

Thanks! Yeah, those are some of my fav :)

Into the groove is a slight rip off of Shannon let the music play.

Then you do right it and upload it. Show us your expertise.

Thank you 🙏🎹
