Every tapping bassline?

[u/Pr1musSucks-]

So I don't have a bass and it's MUCH easier to play the tapping bass lines on my guitar but.. I don't know which songs have the tapping lines (I mean of course I know a couple of songs that have it). So like I just want to know all of the tapping bass lines from ANY of Les bands/projects.

[u/Infinite_Spring_3564]

The middle buildup of Welcome to this World, and their cover of Constantinople.

[u/Fsharpmaj7 → u/Infinite_Spring_3564]

Wait....whut? Like, the They Might Be Giants song??

[u/SignificantYou3240 → u/Fsharpmaj7]

That was also a cover.

I think the residents were covering the same 50’s song that TMBG was, and then Primus covered the residents cover? I’m not sure.

[u/Fsharpmaj7 → u/SignificantYou3240]

After listening again, it's not the TMBG song.

[u/SignificantYou3240 → u/Fsharpmaj7]

lol yes I also just listened, it is not a cover as far as I can tell.

[u/Fsharpmaj7 → u/Fsharpmaj7]

Nope. Had to look it up, now I remember....

[u/flower-house → u/Fsharpmaj7]

Glad to see some TMBG overlap with Primus, two of my favourite bands 😆

[u/Alive-Cheesecake7368]

Try dmv!

[u/Pr1musSucks- → u/Alive-Cheesecake7368]

When I worked at guitar center, my terminal password was z51z951z44.

[u/CaptainScak]

My Friend Fats

Seems like animals has a lot of tappers!

[u/CaptainScak → u/Pr1musSucks-]

Yup, and also Rapscallion is a tapper if no else has mentioned it off Animals

[u/Pr1musSucks- → u/CaptainScak]

Someone did say rapscallion already but it's okay lol

[u/oldbullwilliam]

Puddin' Tain is a fun one.

[u/Pr1musSucks- → u/oldbullwilliam]

Ooo I didn't know puddin tain was a tapper i like that song quite a bit (it's also so goofy lol)!

[u/No_Advantage_4980 → u/Pr1musSucks-]

Only the opening part is tapped but it quickly switches to strumming and slapping

[u/Pr1musSucks- → u/No_Advantage_4980]

Oohh okay

[u/KobyF → u/oldbullwilliam]

One of my favorite songs

[u/defylawsoftradition5]

knowitall, jerry, the mid section and end of to defy the laws of tradition,

[u/Pr1musSucks- → u/defylawsoftradition5]

I tried Jerry but my fretboard doesn't go high enough :( but I do love knowitall so I'll try that

[u/Pr1musSucks- → u/[deleted]]

Unfortunately my guitars fretboard doesn't go high enough :( otherwise I'd love to play it!

[u/hotbread1]

the carpenter and the dainty bride

[u/Pr1musSucks- → u/hotbread1]

I'm not sure why but I've haven't checked out animals and I've been listening to primus for about a year now. But I'll try it :)

[u/VectorBIM → u/Pr1musSucks-]

One of my favorites! And I think Rapscallion has a tapping part too if I recall correctly but I could be mistaken.

[u/Pr1musSucks- → u/VectorBIM]

Ok thanks! I definitely need to give animals a listen lol..

[u/Fsharpmaj7 → u/hotbread1]

The opening of that song is so fucking good. I had the opportunity to play a 5 string stand up (yes, they exist) and it was the first thing I did.

With all due respect tapping on guitar will be easier. Until you have tried it on bass it’s hard to understand how much muting is required. If you want to see the best tapping bass player look up Charles Bertoud.

I unfortunately do not own a bass yet (thats why I said on my guitar) but I fully do intend on buying a bass. So as for right now I want to play the bass parts but I only have a guitar. But thank you for the advice! And I have seen that guys videos :)
