 * Octave

Song examples: Rose - "Perfect Time", Alphatown - "The Power of My Love", Norma Sheffield - "Your Body Lies"

The second most common type of bass, where one note is played on three out of four beats (usually the first, third and fourth), thereby creating a swift rhythm, reminiscent of a galloping horse. Usually octave, but can also be simply monotonous. The downbeat is usually emphasized by something - for example, a different octave or volume. The most common variation is A3/--/A4/A4.
 * Gallop

Song examples: Chip Chip - "So Close to Heaven", Robert Camero - "Deep in Love", F.C.F. - "Bad Desire"

The heritage of Hi-NRG, for which it is the hallmark. A variation of an octave, where each note is repeated one more time (i.e., it doesn't look like A3/--/A4/--, but A3/A3/A4/A4), which makes the bass seem to roll across the entire octave back and forth. It is not very common in Eurobeat, but is very characteristic of related Spacesynth, where this is the most common variant.
 * Double octave (aka Rolling)

Song examples: Silver Pozzoli - "Love is the Best", Green Olives ‎– "Jive Into the Night", Fred Ventura - "One Day"

 * Flat

Song examples: Max Coveri - "Bye Bye Baby", Ciao Ciao - "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", Lou Grant - "What Kind of Cure"

A short octave or flat repetitive pattern occupying no more than two bars. It's usually interspersed with some other type (as for example in Wild Reputation, where a regular octave bass sounds in the verses, and a pattern in the chorus and riff). It is not very common in Italobeat, but is more widespread in later Italian Eurobeat forms.
 * Pattern

Song examples: Aleph - "Big Brother", D. Essex - "Love & Celebration"
