Looking for some songs that bass hits low but smooth. No dubstep or electronic w/e music please !
 
Randomly I found this song. @ :33  I love that bass. Any songs like this ?

If that's an acoustic song I'd like to know what instrument plays a bass that's as overpowering and monotone sounding as that.  To me it just sounds like a generated bass tone played over a piano.  It definitely doesn't sound like a piano's bass.

Yeah, at first I thought it was the piano but it doesn't sound real.
 
I still like that 30hz-40hz shaking effect :)

i can't find exact songs but look up 128' pipe organs. only instruments to hit the sub-bass area. not much people are fan of pipe organs but for natural sub-bass they can't be beat. i think the record was 5hz or something but i think they can go down to DC(0 hz) nowadays but that might be little exaggeration. i haven't listened to pipe organs in a while. they can be beautiful to look at as well while giving you the earth quake rattle at deep sub-bass areas. most electronic pipe organs that try to simulate 32ft,64ft,128ft pipe organs use special rotary sub-woofers specially design to hit DC frequencies. the rotary sub-woofer is also used in theaters and to simulate an earth quake but they need huge area for just 1 woofer to be in cause they need to move massive amount of air to hit 0hz

I didn't see a specific genre mentioned....so this will be all over the board.
 
Specifics (that will catch you off guard, if you have a setup to replicate the notes...).
 
Telarc - Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture - Eric Kunzel & Cincinnati Pops Orchestra (cannons near the end)
 
Evanescence - Fallen Album - Bring Me to Life (about 10 seconds in....)
 
From the 50 Greatest Pieces of Classical Music - London Philharmonic
Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46: Morning Mood
Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46: In the Hall of the Mountain King
Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67, "Fate": Allegro con brio
 
In general....Nickelback, 80s-90s Michael Jackson, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, Pink Floyd, 38 Special, ZZ Top, Some Rush (Mystic Rhythms-song, Roll the Bones-album), Basia (Time and Tide - album), Seal (Bring It On - Album).  I could name many more.....
 
I'm a big fan of almost any music with a heavy rhythm section (but absolutely no RAP, trance, dance/electronic, or anything resembling these as genres).  I actually go out of my way listening to all sorts of stuff with MOG and Slacker....to find it....and then buy the full CD versions.
 
I also like to use both portable and desktop (tube) amps that help 'warm' the music, as well as headphones/IEMs.  I need tight, accurate, controlled bass....But....I don't consider myself a total 'bass head' (that, IMO, is reserved for the RAP, Trance, etc. genres, FWIW).
 
HTH.

I know you said no electronic music, but some dubstep producers (especially the guys who've been around for a while) make some seriously awesome electronic dub tracks. If you are looking for ear-tickling sub bass, look no further.
 
Skream - All Hail
 

 
Skream - Auto-Dub
 

 
Rusko - Sound Guy Is My Target
 

 
Rusko - Lions Paw

Agree that electronic music usually has bad toneless bass. But you do have stuff that uses acoustic bass and some of it is even well recorded, though youtube will never convey it.

Also, wrong subforum.
