Bass guitar players, in most forms of music, lay the foundation for a song by playing supporting, groove-oriented patterns.
There are, however, a number of songs where the bass is a primary melodic and harmonic contributor.
These songs are not only fun to listen to, they can be great tools for setting up a stereo or home theater and assessing its performance.
The frequency spectrum covers the low bass up through the midrange, making it a great way to assess subwoofer level and integration, as well as room resonances or modes.
