Well for me, I play bass too, and I love kinda surf/punk/garage type stuff, so I like to learn fidlar, thee oh sees, the hives, nirvana (almost all songs are super easy) , ty segall, and some Mac demarco if you like more idk softer stuff, but none of those songs are metal whatsoever and ya got a metal bass so idk but really any punk or stuff like that is always easy
Ryder Collins
Cant go wrong with Acca Dacca

Henry Evans
First song I learnt was "Under the bridge - red hot chilli peppers"
I think it's a pretty good place to start
Julian Rivera

Jaxon Peterson
Tho if you actually wanna get gud at bass , play country or blues type stuff, IMO its kinda lame but it'll get you skilled
Julian Johnson
learn scales and play them
youll be bored as fuck with other peoples songs, except here, heres a good one to learn. it wont be easy at first but you will appreciate yourself more if you learn it
Black Flag - Account for What?
youtube.com
Its pretty much just a pentatonic scale repeated over. If you liked learning this, check out their instrumental album "The Process of Weeding Out" or the B side of "Family Man" which this song is on.
Jason Martin
Oooo that bass line in lovesong is so killer, man
Tyler Perry
Y don't u just improv over a backing track, that way you'll learn to improv by playing random shit within the key and corresponding minor key
Isaiah Sullivan

Cameron Jenkins
learn base line from final fantasy two
Caleb Hall
This. Only way to get laid as bass player.
Eli Anderson
Hey OP, I play bass for about 10 years now in a couple of bands (post/instrumental rock and post metal.) I can tell you that playing bass is not that hard if you are willing to learn and practice. I can recommend you couple of songs but first I have to know at which level your skills are.
Hudson Brooks
do this op
Anthony Harris
found edgy 12 year old
Jose Allen
Megadeath - Lucretia / Five Magics
Toejam and Earl - Any
Cake - I Will Survive / The Distance
Tool - Schism / Vicarious
Muse - Hysteria
The Sword - Lament of the Auroch
Ghost - Square Hammer
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
Symphony X - Domination
Tried to get some variety of difficulty but those are among my favorites.
Jackson Nelson
Bliss by Muse
Carson Smith
Seven nation army is pretty easy and I've always found it really fun to play
Xavier Powell
How is that edgy? That song rules. Best Megadeth album, and one of the most underrated guitar solos in my memory.
Nolan Ross
For novice players tornado of souls will not go. It's not that hard once you get the hang of the bass guitar in general but if you are new to the instrument then you will have a bad time.
Ethan Price
>new to instrument
>tool
Julian King
You ain't any kind of bass player if you can't play Squeeze Me Macaroni.
Landon Perry
Not a bass player, but this has always seemed like a fun song to play on the bass.
Cake - The Distance
youtube.com
Nathaniel Garcia
Down in the Tube Station at Midnight by the Jam is a fairly easy one. It's just for building your pull-offs and harmonics
Isaac Torres
懐かしい。。。
Nathan Reyes
RHCP-Californiacation
pretty good song to learn if you're a beginner
youtube.com
Bentley Reyes
Billy Idol - White Wedding. Bassline is pretty solid and it's easy.
Grayson Wright
its has some really hard parts for a beginner imho
Isaac Russell
Play this, pretty cool song.
youtube.com
Landon Rodriguez
hey OP, try this one, it's fun, sounds good and it's not that much complicated, if none at all.
Dylan Jackson
As a fellow bass player, I find that Tool songs aren't as hard to play as people think. Schism is easy.
Lincoln Parker
well most of them are if you wish to get them down right. especially Vicarious. schism is easy to fuck around with if you have patience and determination.
Austin Perez
Vicarious is just about learning how to play 5/4 time. It's not that hard.
Ian Lewis
Orion by Metallica
Winona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus
Peace Sells by Megadeth
NIB by Black Sabbath
Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits
These are some really good intermediate songs, other than Orion, all of them aren't very difficult
Lincoln Myers
yeah, imagine yourself when you started playing bass and replace all those for whom the bell tolls, come as you are and similar bass lines that I suppose you have played and toss yourself right in to a fire with a song such as Vicarious. a guy who picked up a bass a few times in his life has no chance to play that song, at least not correctly. schism, stinkfist, pushit are easier to play imo.
Leo Brown
Actually, I just restrung my Fender Precision Bass upside down so I can play as a lefty because I'm left handed. It's still not that hard. Maybe I'm just gifted, I dunno.
Luis Baker
I've tried that one time even though I'm right handed, it takes couple of hours to adjust. But imagine taking accordion and playing it.. That's how it feels to be a complete novice. Please don't tell me you know how to play accordion :D
Kayden Long
I don't, but I do play guitar as well. I find that playing right handed with the strings still upside is almost easier on both guitar and bass. I'm just weird like that I guess.
Julian Williams
dude wtf ahahaha

Om - Unitive knowledge of the godhead
Learn the lyrics too while you're at it
Ryan Evans
psyco killer by talking heads has a cool bass line
Isaiah Robinson

Levi Edwards
one of these
Ryan Jackson
Bad Devil - Devin Townsend
Jacob Lopez
Have to agree with this guy. A beginner bass player shouldn't be working on songs that utilize complex time signatures mixed with a lot of coordination that's developed from learning fundamentals.
OP, if you're still here, while it's fun to learn songs, you should really just focus on the fundamentals. Learn proper hand techniques, learn scales, learn the fretboard. These are just a few of the keys that will unlock bass playing and open up more possibilities in your sound.
But, to answer the question, find any song that's in 4/4 where the bass doesn't do anything other than manuever around the root and fifth. Most bass tracks are like this, and it'll help you understand better the role of a bass player in a band. Songs I could recommend are most Nirvana tunes and most Judas Priest songs. Priest may sound daunting, but the bass player is famously known for really simple, fitting parts. Electric Eye by Priest is a great starter song.
Good luck. Bass is a kick ass instrument.
