Cool songs with good slap bass runs

[Brian]

I'm updating my music playlists to include one with songs with cool slap bass (upright bass) runs.  I'm specifically looking for Rockabilly or Psychobilly songs.  A couple that come to mind are ricochet Rockabilly by Mad Sin, the live version of Stray Cat strut with Lee Rocker's solo, and Johnny Got a Boom Boom by Imelda May.  I'm probably going to get my upright bass in about a month or so.  The playlists should give me something to play along with.

Check out the Hillbilly Hellcats! They rock.

Cool, that'll work if it's not too much trouble.  Thanks Richie!

i've got some cool slap bass songs. since we can't upload our own music from our computer anymore i'll make up a list for you and maybe you can get a hold of them.

I'll check them out.  A friend had mentioned them before, but the band's name had escaped me.  Thanks Betty, you rock!

Horrorpops, Nekromantix, Reverend Horton Heat, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Tiger Army, Mad Max and The Wild Ones, Brutally Frank, Living End, and The Cramps are all the bands that come to mind that use upright. I'll have to go through and see which specific songs have runs though. =0D
Primus has also used upright bass, but I don't what for what specific songs. =0/ I can find out, though. =0]

You're so welcome! The Boozehounds have some good bass slappin' tunes too!

Oh thanks to HBO, I've been turned onto Imelda May. Now if I could just find her cd in-store (I have a tendency to over spend if I shop online hehe)!

Thanks for the suggestions Tessa, I've been downloading MP3's like crazy.

Thank you Nikki, The Kingonz are great! The only other bands I hadn't come across previously were The Chop Tops, The Brains and Godless Wicked Creeps. I'm still scouring the net looking for downloads which is half the fun!

Yeah, Imelda May is great. I actually came across her music watching videos on You Tube about 8 months ago. As soon as I heard her sound, I was hooked.

Finally got a chance to find some Hellbilly Hellcats, I agree; they definitely rock! Thanks Betty!
