Monumental Grooves

  Song: Loro Artist: Pinback Album: Pinback (1999)  Bassist: ? either Armistead Burwell Smith IV or Rob Crow Drummer: Tom Zinser Place: San Diego, CA Notes: This is one of those great, simple, cyclical lines. Somewhat hypnotic. The same thing over and over, it's perfect. Really pretty how the line fits with the guitar parts. 

  Song: Sandy Toes Artist: Linda Perhacs  Album: Parallelograms (1970) Bassist: Reinie Press  Drummer: N/A  Place: Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, CA Notes: this is a sick repetitive bassline. Climbing and coming down. looping. nice turnarounds

  Song: Brillarosa Artist: Fuerza Regida Album: Dolido Pero No Arrepentido (2024) Bassist: ? (Moisés López on tololoche) Drummer: N/A Place: San Bernardino, CA Notes: This is a crazy bassline. On tololoche I believe. This line moves all around, great fills, prancing all over. Sounds somewhat improvised, not very repetitive. 

  Song: (Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay     Artist: Otis Redding (co-written by Steve Cropper) Album: single (1968) Bassist: Donald "Duck" Dunn Drummer: Al Jackson Jr.  Place: Memphis/Georgia/Sausalito Notes: very smooth bassline a la James Jamerson, dancing through the chords, sounds like it's talking
