Ok, this is mainly just to see if there’s anyone else here. But what’s your favorite bass line to play?

    I’ll necropost here. I love the Motown bass lines, stuff like

    • “What’s Going On”
    • “Signed, Sealed, Delivered”
    • “Bernadette”
    • “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”

    Other songs I have enjoyed playing are:

    • Hysteria by Muse
    • Runaway by Jamiroquai (but also Runaway by Bruno Mars)
    • Can’t Feel My Face by The Weeknd
    • everything by Stevie Wonder really, though “Jammin” is one of my comfort songs to play

    But I just started playing fretless so now I’m learning:

    • “Wuthering Heights” by Kate Bush
    • “Wherever I Lay My Hat”, Paul Young’s cover of the Motown classic
    • “Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down” by Paul Young

    Not ready yet for Kate Bush’ Babooshka and Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al” though I suppose I could get started with some other songs from the Graceland album if I want to eat the fingerboard.

    Any other suggestions for a fretless beginner who loves the “mwah” sound?
