Just Got My Bass Guitar

Hey I got my bass guitar today, and was wondering if anyone could suggest some good songs and riffs that are fairly easy to play. I took it upon myself to learn some songs like Money (Floyd), Helicopter (Bloc Party), Charmer (Kings Of Leon) and Float On (Modest Mouse) along with a few more.

Anyone else play bass? Maybe even play double bass or something?

I got a bass some time ago. Fender affinity series and it's really cool. I started by playing "The Anthem" by good charlotte. Pretty easy to play. I haven't played bass in a long while, though. Don't have time for it. :(

Pretty much any song from Are You Experienced? by The Jimi Hendrix Experience is fairly good to play(specially fire). Same for most of his albums really, try it out.

I'd say look at Nirvana songs. They have interesting bass in them. I play guitar, but some bass.

Also look at other Floyd songs, cause they are, well, the best.XD

brianstorm by the arctic monkeys has a really easy intro and the majority of it is repeated throughout.

Float on is just F# to Bb for the whole song, on any other instrument the Bb is a minor and the F# is a major, it doesn't matter in bass.
