Looking for Excessive Bass

post #1 of 26
Thread Starter 
I am not normally a bass junky, however I am really enjoying the thumping of drums, percussion, and crazy bass guitar runs. I would LOVE to get a list of songs to purchase that has excellent bass production, or musical attack. Right now I am listening to a lot of "Breaking Benjamin". If you can give me a list of DEEP bass, rocking licks, etc I would greatly appreciate it. ALL opinions and suggestions are welcome!

Check out Another Black Day, they have a lot of bass heavy songs with very fast drumming. My favorite song from the album is "Anymore."

Check out Tribal Tech. It's fusion, like what you are describing. Bassist Gary Willis is an absolute monster! He has solo stuff too.

Climbatize by The Prodigy. Wait for it to get in a few minutes, and the weight of the bass guitar is fairly hefty. You might want to check out some of their other stuff and other "big beat" electronic music, because it tends to have fast drum beats with somewhat prominent bass.

Not necessarily heavy bass here, but Black Sabbath's N.I.B. has an interesting bass guitar introduction you should take a listen to. If you don't mind something slow and mellow, Planet Caravan might be worth hearing, as the bass guitar and drums are readily apparent and have fairly good response too.

Yep, NIN patrol is here. Of particular note for bass response in regards to Nine Inch Nails is The Fragile (as an album). In fact, The Fragile as a song is a good starting point, with some heavy bass guitar from the get go. You'll find quite a lot of the drumming and bass guitar rather methodical on this album, but it might be worth looking at. Other notable songs (from a heavy bass guitar perspective) on the album would be Where Is Everybody? and I'm Looking Forward To Joining You Finally.

For some reason, the first album that comes to my mind when talking about excessive bass has always been Public Image Limited's second album (i.e. Metal Box or Second Edition).

Blackstar - Definition & Re-definition both have great bass. Both flowing and hitting bass, i've always used both these songs to gauge bass.

Or check out "bass mechanix" they are created for high SPL car audio competitions, you won't find more bass in any commercial music.
