So first time poster and I started about 2 months ago. I was just wondering, besides bass lines, what are some bass solos that I could hope to learn in about three months?

Also post any bass solos you guys like

was going to suggest this actually. Its my favourite bass solo, a good challenge to learn and it really helps free up your fingers. Its the first thing I play when I pick up the bass actually.

you should, its a great one to learn. The entire song is a real challenge to learn, but the solo by itself is the most fun.

Talkin' 'Bout My Generation - The Who
A good bass solo to start with

Tool - The Pot
Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills
Metallica - Orion (The second solo. The song consists of 2 solos and the interlude which dman teaches part of)

Those are some that I really enjoy playing/listening to

A nice easy one is the chain solo by fleetwood mac. it's a solo but a very easy one.

for pick users, isuggest the intro in the song “carousel” by blink182 the chesire cat version. its very simple but it sounds good...
