Bass recommendations for a newbie
Hi everyone,
I've been playing bass for about a month now, and I'm looking for music recommendations that fit my taste.
So far, my favorite bass players are:
- Jennifer Finch (especially on Bricks Are Heavy – I love her heavy, driving punk sound),
- Kim Deal (Pixies and The Breeders – her melodic, repetitive lines really draw me in),
- and through Kim Deal I discovered Josephine Wiggs on The Breeders' Last Splash, and I absolutely fell in love with her playing on that album.
I also really enjoy a couple of Flea's tracks – Can't Stop and Love Rollercoaster – for that funky, energetic feel.
Could you recommend any bands, albums, or bassists that have a similar vibe? I'm open to anything, especially if the bass lines are catchy and enjoyable to play as a beginner-to-intermediate player.
Thanks in advance!
