    I still think "Heart of the Sunrise" is a pretty intense bass line, but then you have the chill bass solo after that's so good. "Roundabout" has a good bassline as well, but I feel like Squire's best stuff can be found on "The Fish," or "Tempus Fugit." Of course, he did some incredible work over his career, so there's certainly plenty to pick from.

    For me, two of the most difficult basslines to play are "Hit me with your rhythm stick"- Ian Dury & The Blockheads, and "Don Quixote"- Nik Kershaw, though I think the latter was keyboard sampled, it'd be awesome to see someone play it on bass. "Warheads"-Extreme is pretty tough to play, too.

Mohini Dey: I don’t know if it’s properly a song, but the first thing she played at SIT BOOTH at NAMM in 2019, to me, still remains a crazy and top bass moments, ever. The “theme” is such a perfect fusion of groove, musical taste and “variations”. In this case, too….it’be nice to have “your version” of this masterpiece. Hope you like em! Cheers

    My own person top 4 ( i call them the 4 basslines of my apocalypse) are: 1. Jerry Was Racecar Driver 2. Hysteria 3. Roundabout 4. Immigrant Song. Honorable mention for Young Lust - Pink Floyd because I tried learning it and half way through found out there is an incredibly difficult piece of it making it almost impossible for me to learn currently.

    Dude there is this bass riff in Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden which is so god damn cool. It's like a few bars before when the interlude hits. Man I would love to hear you do a whole video on Steve Harris. He really is super awesome if you really look into his style!

    Re: #9: Sounds a bit similar to the bass riff in "Another One Bites the Dust." I have to say it's the dollar store version of that one. One I always thought was a bit difficult but due to its obscurity nobody really mentions was the Kajagoogoo song "Frayo."

    Some of the hardest bass lines I've ever tried to figure out came from Tool- especially their most recent stuff. The Pot was particularly difficult for me. That said- I haven't even tried anything off Fear Inno. yet so- I assume it's even more difficult because Justin seems to have been finding his footing and I would say on 10,000 Days he really started to shine but you could tell he was evolving quickly- becoming even better.
