What's you ultimate bass moment?

Thread Starter 
Mine:

Artist: Led Zeppelin
Song: Since I've Been Loving You
Album/Version/Performance: Led Zeppelin (box set 1990)

Moment:

When the bass comes in at the start of the verse when the vocals start. The bass note just rings out and rattles my head and at the very end there's a crackle of distortion. Cranked!

Vengaboys - We Like To Party ...... the bass slam that starts 28 seconds into the song...

Ok, ok on a more serious/audiophile note, my other favorite bass moment is:

Artist: Light Of Aidan feat. Note For A Child
Song Name: Loving You
Album: Cafe Del Mar Vol 14

TEH BASS at the start of this song... ZOMG.... Awesome! It goes sooo low and vibrates like hell... you need some decent equipment to enjoy it though, otherwise its gonna sound like a dry fart.

The first time I started using some Nichicon MUSE ES caps!

Otherwise, there's this Danish underground psytrance artist, Jahbo, that works bass better than I thought possible.. working on a track with 'loon", whom I'm not too familiar with.. "Jahbo vs Loon - Two Stoned Babas". I must admit though, I'm much more into the likes of zeppelin lately but those guys know their bass..

The first time I heard Nirvana's cover of "Love Buzz" off of Bleach... blew my 11 year-old mind.

Kraftwerk's Tour de France soundtracks has plenty of nice and very low bass.

Amon Tobin's 'Esther's', especially the alternative version that he plays at live shows. Those kick drums almost make me sick, they're so good.

Why you wanna - T.I

If you listen carefully, the bass is shorter at 1:37 than rest of the song.
