Phil Lesh improvised some of the greatest bass lines of all time. In my opinion, he is hands down the best bassist of all time.

Post the link, I'm not familiar. I know they stole Black Mountain Side from him, but not Ramble On
>>66244056
except in this case
Stagger Lee by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
Hands down the smoothest, grooviest, and simplest baseline to ever be laid down. It is the true back bone of that song. Soooooo good.
>>66240525

I love Joy Division for this exact reason. They use the bass as the foundation of the song, and have the guitar annunciate everything going on, rather than just have the bass and guitar match. Its a sound rarely utilized, but it always sounds great imo
I've always loved Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fade's bass riff. It's so simple and catchy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3YVKTxTOgU
Heart of the Sunrise by Yes is a close second for me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ia3baO8qHQ
DFA is a reliable source of fantastic basslines.
Y'all can go home now, it's been decided.

Heart of the Sunrise is a better bassline than Roundabout.
Also add The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines

aw dude the mono version of baby you're a rich man? play that shit on car speakers or big subwoofers and the low bass notes in the verses and outro will stand up to any modern dance or hip hop track with 808s... they recorded that track at a different studio than abbey road, which had much better and precise bass eq on their mixing consoles
>>66240525
