That splatty Precision sound was the main reason I listened to them in the first place! There'll be a definite late 70s feel the music in the house tonight.
This thread is getting me thinking about what else I have that's heavy on the bass. My 14 yr old has started playing bass and will listen to anything suitably agressive/funky/driving as fits the mood. This has thrown up some forgotten treasures from the collection and at least is getting her away from her staple diet of grunge/metal.
Buena by Morphine has a fantastically gnarly, growling bassline that seems to leap out of the speakers. Really primative and funky, and played on a two-string slide bass to boot!
It's from Cure for Pain, a lush, earthy, atmospheric classic. Go buy!
Must have some reggae in here. Armagiddeon Time will do nicely. You'll know the Clash cover and hopefully the Willie Williams original but Jamaican music recognises a good bass-line and there are probably hundreds of other versions of the Rockers Rock rhythm
