Stu-khag Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 [quote name='steve-soar' post='981936' date='Oct 8 2010, 07:32 PM']Hawkwind, circa 1975. [/quote] that would have been fun! I think around bands around the 67 era would have been great, Incredible string band, Love etc. Or in a krautrock band, Can, Neu! or Faust at their peaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fudge Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 [quote name='BurritoBass' post='981928' date='Oct 8 2010, 07:27 PM']From a music point of view I'd love to have been involved in Stephen Stills Manassas but from longevity I'd like to go beyond the 2 records they made. So I'll go for The Byrds as they transcended so many genres. In fact I could just cut out the middle man and have Chris Hillman's bass playing life - that way I have all the bases (& indeed basses!) covered[/quote] Yes please .... [quote name='yorick' post='981956' date='Oct 8 2010, 07:56 PM']Van Halen, VH1 and VH2 era[/quote] Yes please again ... Personally playing with Neil Young would be the ultimate, but I would probably choose rhythm guitar for that gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow '77-'78, Gillan '78-'82, Nomeansno, Victims Family, Hawkwind as they are now.[/quote] Yes it going well and all inspired by my 90's look back earlier today,I like the way we are going right down to specific time periods for each group, Who said we were all bass geeks?

thodrik Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Kyuss, Free, Mars Volta, Soundgarden, Deftones, SRV and Double Trouble, Black Sabbath (up to and including Never Say Die), Fleetwood Mac during the Green era, any incarnation of the Bluesbreakers or Yardbirds and anything involving Jimi Hendrix or Buddy Guy. Bill Haley and his Comets too, I don't know why, I just know it would have been cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcro Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 [quote name='steve-soar' post='981980' date='Oct 8 2010, 08:25 PM']Throbbing Gristle, Captain Beefheart, Can, Mott The Hoople.[/quote] Thanks for making me smile.

risingson Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 The Beatles, Jamerson's seat at Hitsville or Nathan Watts' later with Stevie Wonder. Not that I would have done any justice to any of their music like the original bass players did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colledge Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 i'd say in the past, Thin lizzy, led zep and sublime. right now though i'd give my right (leg) to b in any number of bands top of my list being karma to burn, kylesa and the ocean though, could have some serious fun with those guys.

purpleblob Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) 1. Led Zeppelin (small prob. I don't do keys particularily well). 2. Jimi Hendrix 3. Lynryd Skynyrd 4. Jefferson Airplane It's funny though, the way I play bass is absolutely nothing like the bassist in any of those bands but I can imagine it being one hell of an experience being with any of them. EDIT: Ooo, I almost forgot I would loved to have played music with Carlos Santana (in his earlier days) and if I had the ability - John McLaughlin an the Mahavishnu Orchestra (but as I don't that's a non-starter).

casapete Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Rolling Stones - any period! Although following Bill Wyman maybe a tad easier than replacing Darryl Jones....... Also would have loved to play in The Faces - early 70's era though ( less so now with Mr Hucknall on board.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeponehandloose Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Elvis's band from 54 to 58 for the Upright gig, or Magazine for the bass guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 From a bass-playing perspective, The Jam or The Stranglers. From a "fave band" perspective, The Sex Pistols or Guns n Roses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
