Talk:Bassline

message: A Bassline is an important element of post-punk music, with bands such as Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and more recently Interpol employing it as an integral element of the music, therefore I have added post-punk as one of the genres.
*I agree, and can't understand why Peter Hook is not in the shortlist of lead-playing bass players. --Beamrider 15:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

message: *"This has a very pulsy sound as contrasted by sharp and solid sounds from the lead and rhythm, and so the bassline tends to sound like it is plodding along in a song. Any bass tones in a sequence (melody) that are in the bass range may be considered a bassline. Therefore, drums could be used to create basslines although they are generally classified as percussion. Alternatively if you take an instrument that plays in the treble clef and transfer its melody to the bass clef, again a bassline is formed."
I removed the above as it was in the section Bassline#Instruments commonly used for playing bass lines and does not describe instruments used. Also, I don't know what "pulsy" means (though I like the word) and various other unclarities. Hyacinth 11:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

message: "Some people have even taken bass playing to a new level and gone entirely solo on the bass, Victor Wooten for example has taken on a new approach that most people know and recognize from his albumn A show of hands."
I thought that this should be in the bass guitar section, not the bassline section.  So I removes it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.57.220.222 (talk) 00:45, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: How about we include a brief description of the style of basslines in some electronic genres? D&B comes to mind.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.161.180.214 (talk) 18:13, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Electronic Music 

message: "In the 1930s and 1940s, most popular music groups used the double bass as the bass instrument. Starting in the 1960s, the louder, easier-to-transport bass guitar replaced the double bass in most types of popular music, such as rock and roll, blues, and folk. By the 1970s and 1980s, the electric bass was used in most rock bands and jazz fusion groups. The double bass was still used in some types of popular music that recreated styles from the 1940s and 1950s such as jazz (especially swing and bebop), traditional 1950s blues, jump blues, country, and rockabilly."
Were, say, bebop or rockabilly really recreating "styles from the 1940s and 1950s"? I find this dubious. 67.168.12.90 (talk) 13:36, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

message: The opening sentence's "also known as a 'bass line' or a 'bass part'" provides two false synonyms that should be eliminated. The former is false, because this is a misspelling of the term: it's a single word, "bassline," that should not be separated into two words. The second synonym is false, because of the distinction between a "line" and a "part": while a line refers to an abstract melodic entity — in this case a repetitive one in the low register — a "part" refers either to the sheet music performed by the bass player, or more broadly to all of the notes performed by the bass player, which would include, for example, bass solos, which are defined as departures from the register and textural function of a cyclically repeated "bassline." For this reason, the parenthetical clause in this article should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.84.88.19 (talk) 04:51, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
