Stratocaster SeasideSuspended 4th
A four-piece rock band, Suspended 4th, has honed their performance and technique through tireless activity that knows no bounds—live houses, street performances, outdoor festivals, local events, and school shows.
This track, included on their sixth album, “Suspended 4th,” is the song that brought the band widespread recognition.
The technically adept bass playing stands out even in the backing, but the intro in particular leaves a powerful impression with its fuzz-laden tone and a striking technique: repeated up-and-down thumb strokes in steady sixteenth notes.
It’s a superb performance—built on a single pitch—featuring a phrase no one will forget.
Make sure you study up, okay?zutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
With its low end and rhythm intricately intertwined, “Obenkyo Shitoite yo” is a track defined by a bassline that strikes deep in your chest.
Colored by Zutomayo’s characteristically elusive world, the bass solo accentuates its depth.
When ACA-ne’s delicate yet powerful vocals are met by the bass’s aggressive slap technique, it’s guaranteed to tug at the listener’s heartstrings.
Bassists in particular should consider using its technique as a model.
Why not savor some time wrapped in the magic of the low frequencies?
Life-size EarthUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
UNISON SQUARE GARDEN is a rock band renowned for their technical performances.
On “Life-Sized Earth,” a track from their self-titled major debut album, you can hear a funky bass solo by Tomoya Tabuchi.
The shift from a band ensemble that climbs stepwise in pitch to bass playing backed only by drums and claps is striking in its contrast of motion and stillness.
Be sure to check out this upper tune that’ll have you naturally moving to the beat!
Parallel SpecGesu no Kiwami Otome.
A uniquely original direction they call “hip-hop prog,” with unpredictable lyrics and arrangements that captivate fans—this is a track by Gesu no Kiwami Otome.
Featured on their major-label first mini-album, “Minna Normal,” it was also used in a commercial for the curation magazine Antenna.
The bass has such a commanding presence—almost like it’s soloing throughout, including in the backing—but you can especially feel the excellence of its ensemble with the other parts in the interlude.
Amid the complex arrangement, the ever-shifting colors keep listeners engaged; it’s a must-hear work for its bass lines.
Sugar Surfoishikuru meronpan
A three-piece rock band, Oisicle Melonpan, has been drawing attention with their melancholic guitar-rock sound featuring a boyish, translucent high-tone voice.
This track, included on their first album “thirsty,” lifts your spirits with its brisk, driving beat.
From the slap that intertwines perfectly with the guitar’s cutting, to jazzy phrases and melodious playing that bursts forward at a fast tempo, you can truly feel just how cool the bass is.
Including the backing parts, it’s a highly addictive rock tune that makes you want to listen closely to the bass throughout the whole song.
FULL HOUSEGIRLFRIEND
GIRLFRIEND was a four-piece band made up entirely of Gen Z women that was active from 2015 to 2021.
I’d especially like to highlight that MINA, who is now highly recognized both as a solo artist and as a technical bassist, was a member.
Her playing, backed by advanced technique, is showcased to the fullest among GIRLFRIEND’s technically demanding songs.
“FULL HOUSE,” from their second album HOUSE released in 2020, features an aggressive slap bass that is seriously cool.
The bass lines are so intense and continuous throughout the track that it almost feels like a solo for the entire song.
If you love technical bass tones, this is a must-listen!
STAY AWAYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
The bass solo, rich with the allure of low frequencies, further accentuates the music’s depth.
“STAY AWAY,” where that bass sound truly stands out, is one of the most memorable songs in L’Arc~en~Ciel’s catalog.
Its simple yet unforgettable melody gradually resonates in the listener’s heart.
Combined with the band’s steadiness and delicate nuances, it creates a pleasantly immersive soundscape.
The bass solo arrives at just the right moment, delivering a powerful, heart-shaking impact while maintaining harmony without disrupting the flow of the song.
Bassists can learn a great deal from this track.
