Oh yes indeed

[cocco]

Is it me or has no one mentioned Colin Hodgkinson - The Bottom Line?

[Mr H]

Certainly not solo, but perhaps in the spirit of the request, how about Mike Watt and Kira Roessler in Dos?

[i]Uno Con Dos[/i] 1989 compilation of two earlier records.

[i]Justamente Tres[/i] 1996

Both playing bass, Kira usually singing, Watt occasionally.

As he is mentioned elsewhere in this forum, Squarepusher did a solo bass album called "Solo Electric Bass 1". (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=327222155&s=143444&affId=1382715)

Here is a live rendition of one of the tracks:

I quite like Alberto Rigoni "Something Else", been listening to more than I thought I would.

Would it be a 'faux pas' to mention Cliff Burton's (Metallica) bass solos in this thread? E.g. Anesthesia; Orion; Call of Ktulu.

Ah, what the hell - metal up your a$$, and all that! ;-)

+1 Very hard to find. Maybe only on vinyl. I have a copy on disc that a friend did a transfer from his album. PM me if you like and if I can find it will do you a copy.

John Paul Jones' albums "zooma" and "the thunderthief".

no solo bass either but he almost anything you hear is bass besides the occasional drums and guitar. and he plays 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, strings, slided, lap steeled, e-bowed, distorted, whatever. It's a one man bass orchestra.

This is probably more of what you're after. He has some CD's out too.[/quote]

Awesome.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='1118176' date='Feb 6 2011, 08:02 PM']Bach - [i]Cello Suite #1[/i] played by Jeff Bradetich on double bass.[/quote]

^ I've just learn this Cello Suite based on your recommendation here, so cheers! :-)

Nice piece of music and enjoyable to play - makes for a damn good finger 'warm up' too.

Anyone for marcus miller? The ozello tapes.....

[Steve Lawson]

Thanks Kev - I'm really glad you're enjoying the music.

Have you found [url="http://music.stevelawson.net"]http://music.stevelawson.net[/url] - pretty much everything I've ever released is there, including two duo albums with Trip Wamsley - all priced 'pay what you think it's worth' and fully streamable too.

Just watched the Michael Manring one and thought "Bloody hell, he's taking forever tuning that bass up..." Then I realised he'd started...

[Doddy]

There are four cool solo piece on Bryan Beller's first album 'View' including a great take on Pattitucci's
'Backwoods'.
The rest of the album is great too. One of the best 'bass player' albums around (his second 'Thanks in Advance'
is killer aswell.)
