Bass Desires is a 1985 studio album by jazz bassist Marc Johnson released on the ECM label.
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4½ stars stating "The pairing of electric guitarists Bill Frisell and John Scofield had to be one of the most auspicious since John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana. Acoustic bassist Marc Johnson's stroke of genius in bringing the two together on Bass Desires resulted in a sound that demonstrated both compatibility between the guitarists and the distinctiveness of the two when heard in combination... this debut has stood the test of time -- it is priceless, timeless, and still far from being dated".
