More Bass Bits


Always loved the bass in this. I can't get enough of this type of bass. It seems particularly British, I've got loads of Jamaican reggae and dub records from from the 70s but the bass lines aren't quite like this are they?



This bass style is so versatile. Here it's in more of a soulful context. Geez...nice.


The bass here, played by Harvey Williams (From many a Sarah Records group), is similar and soo good. I guess there are hints of The Specials and Jah Wobble here which makes me think this particular dubby bass style comes from a post-punk heritage. Feel free to let me know if you know from whence it came.


Another version where the bass is a bit more....I dunno...pointy or something. Still very bloody nice.


Heavenly bass. Heavenly tuuune....oh.... no pun intended. Wasn't everything on Foxbase Alpha sampled though? I could post most of that LP here but I'll spare you, just go and listen to it.


Similar bass style to the above to tunes but in more of a hardcore rave context. Me like.


The bass is great in this I just wish it would come even further forward.



More from the Suburban Bas(s)e label. Wicked bass on this in that classic style, I've been talking about.

Massive Bass


That Safe From Harm bass is sampled from a Billy Cobham tune Stratus. It's only part Cobham's track where it comes in at the 3.05 mark but Massive Attack make it their whole tune here. It's like a warm blanket which befits the title of the song nicely!
