play that funky music white boy

schism-tool

roundabout-yes

the chain-fleetwood mac (especially the part towards the end)

those are all pretty easy (unless there is like a hard riff jammed in there i forgot about?) but i think they are some of the most awesome bass lines ever.

I gotta say one of my favourite bass lines at the moment is Disco Inferno by the Tramps

incredibly easy but for some reason really addictive to play!!

If you have a five string My name is mud is a must know.
You can't always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream.

+1 for Anaesthesia (Pulling Teeth), and My Name Is Mud.

Some other good Primus ones to learn are Antipop, Shake Hands With Beef, and Laquer Head (sp?).

I'd also recommend a bit of At The Drive-In and Mars Volta. They have some really interesting bass lines, and I found that by learning them, I picked up a few tricks that I try to incorporate into my own stuff!
One of the advantages of horses that people sometimes point out, is that they very seldom explode. Almost never, in my experience, apart from that unfortunate occurence in the hot summer a few years ago.
