Brandonh Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 I have been listening to Cream: Jack Bruce Tower Of Power: Rocco Prestia Bootsy Collins. Quote
nixonuk Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 The Stranglers - JJ Burnel Burnel is the reason why I picked up a bass in the first place, just love that sound. Quote
velvetkevorkian Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Devin Townsend- Ziltoid The Omniscient Bass played by Devin Townsend (as is everything else). The bass isn't terribly inspiring, although the rest of the album is. Quote
King of Loss Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Pain of Salvation - Kristoffer Gildenlow - One of the most underrated bassists that I know of, probably. YES - Never get tired of Chris Squire.....awesome player. Radiohead......Colin Green? I can't remember - Simple but effective basslines. Quote
RussFM Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 The Draft - Jason Black Coheed & Cambria - Mic Todd Opeth - Martin Mendez Quote

Great band, great bassist, very underrated as you say. Radiohead bassist is Colin Greenwood, Johnny's brother. As for myself, it's been mostly Muse (Chris Wolstenholme) and I'm sure everyone's aware of the talents there. Apart from that: Dream Theater- John Myung (I'm sure I don't need to say any more) Pain of Salvation & Opeth (mentioned above) Porcupine Tree- Ed something Big Ben And The Houses Of Parliament- Me!

bassbloke Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Band : Planet X - Moonbabies and Quantum Bassists : Billy Sheehan, Tom Kennedy, Jimmy Johnson, Rufus Philpott Why : I'm learning Alien HipHop and Ignotus per Ignotum for my covers band Thank you for the heads up on Pain of Salvation. I knew the name but had never checked them out before. I'm glad I did - they're great. Quote
Mike Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I've been enjoying some John Rutter recently, choral works for Clare College, Cambridge, as well as some Karl Jenkins (adiemus, Celtic stuff). Also loving some Tiger Lillies and Divine Comedy. Quote

woodenshirt Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Porcupine Tree...... what a stonkin' band - Bassist: the Australian bloke, Colin Edwin (fretted, fretless, upright bass..... talented!) Woodenshirt..... well I like 'em - Bassist: Me (adequate bass.... not so talented!) Mart Quote
KevB Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Just been listening to the latest Spocks Beard album (though I think it came out last year). Bassist is Dave Meros. Still wears his Chris Squire influence on his sleeve a bit but a darn good player and finding something of a style of his own on more recent albums. Some nice fretless work on one of the tracks.

Mobius Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Been listening to lots of Radiohead B sides at the moment, bassist is Colin Greenwood, he's alright. Tends to be fairly inconspicous but occasionally shows off his skills by throwing a fast line or run into the song. Quote

Gizmo Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Humm let see adriano campagnani - adriano campagnani : great fusion bassist if relatively unknown well worth checking out if you a bass anorak Hadrien Feraud - Hadrien Feraud : again great fusion bassist i cant beleive he's only 22! i hope he manages to find his own voice because at the moment he just sounds to much like just another a garrison clone counter world experience - leaving lotus - (H.D. Lorenz - bass) Guess what yep more fusion these guys seem to be able to cover pretty much every thing jazz/rock/prog/fusion wise so if you into planet x/ohm/manring,mcgill,steve's and other time shifty prog/fusion there sure to push your buttons Gordian Knot - Emergent (sean malone bass/stick) my fav prog/fusion band/project such well crafted tunes Sad happy - good day bad dream - (paul hinklin & mic manring bass) one of mr manring side project's quite hard to track down and the tunes are somewhat like those from thonk nice and heavy/progy Quote
