Looking for something with some bass in it... I have enough bass tests, im looking for some real songs with tight bass lines or just something that sounds sweet. Remind me why i love my Klipsch-monsters 🙂
 
From svsubwoofers

Beastie Boys -- "Brass Monkey" Killer 50Hz stuff.

City of Angels (Soundtrack) -- "Uninvited" The graph shows one "boom" slowly fading, and then the next starts right at the bottom of the graph. Great high 20s bass in this one. If you look closely at the bottom--- you can see the harmonics of the low bass in the actual recording (28/56/84hz peaks).

AC/DC -- "Highway to Hell" The little spikes in the upper right is the guitar intro leading into the kick drum. Any musicians might be able to correlate those to music notes. The kick drum starts toward the bottom. One interesting bit of bass trivia -- there's a bit of 10-18hz noise throughout the track. Maybe a defective high-pass filter? Who said audio was boring?


Nine Inch Nails -- "Closer"

Notorious B.I.G. -- "Dead Wrong" Main bass is 30hz and up...but there's a good bit of signal real low too --- like 10-20Hz low.

System of a Down -- "Sugar"

Marilyn Manson -- "Great Big White World" At about 45-55 seconds into the song, check out the synthesized bass bridge. And...the end of the same song (see next chart), as the volume drops quickly and just before DOPE SHOW starts (signified by the burst at the very bottom of the chart). More good synthesized stuff down to the mid 20Hz range.

<< Sugar Hill Gang - Rapper's Delight (i forget the original song they took this bass line from) >>


I believe it's from Chic's "Good Times".

Beastie Boys - "Intergalactic" has some low bass hits in it.

Shock G - Humpty Dance
 
Great songs guys, thanks...

My favorite before this thread was: Radiohead - Climbing up the walls (Fila Brazillia)

OMFG! The bass on that song is TIGHT!
 
"Rebubula" by moe. (Rob is a great bass player; most of their stuff has a great bass line going)

"Kyle's Song" by moe. (good bass solo most of the time they play it)

These are songs and a style you might not have explored before. Lots of improv and jamming. Could probably get you thinking in a different direction.

 
Perhaps the best bassline I've ever heard (not volume, but talent) was around the 10 minute mark of Rush's Cygnus X-1 Book II from their Hemisphere's album.
