My favorite bass tune for showing off is probably Purple Lamborghini from Suicide Squad (featuring Skrillex and Rick Ross), but I do enjoy a couple of others mentioned above. The Blinding by Jay Electornica is pretty good. Wow by Beck is up there. Reaching Out by Bassnectar.
I’ll nominate an old recording of me: Jon Hassell’s “City: Works of Fiction”.

The first acoustic bass track of this album is great for checking your bass. It’s also very low but throughout extremely defined and firm. A few further great tracks (e.g. track 4) on this, but track 1 is maybe the most demanding for some setups/rooms…
Fun Recordings I like to use to evaluate bass performance. They work well both in digital formats and vinyl.

Ron and I just heard something from the Howard disk at the after hours MBL event here in Tampa. Off a UHA reel to reel deck. Pretty awesome.
