ern500evo Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 We always get asked who our favourite bassist's/influences are, but what about other musicians? If you could put together any line up to join you in a band who would you choose? I know your answers will change depending on mood and what stuff you're listening to at the time but let's have your ultimate band mates. I'm in a rock mood so i'm gonna go for the following: Dave Grohl (drums) Zakk Wylde Corey Taylor (in his Stone Sour guise, minus the boiler suit and mask) Quote
Truckstop Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Mark Knopfler - Guitarzzzz Guy Garvey - Vox Chris Adler - Drums We'd be called 'Big Hat, No Horse' and we'd play country covers but with amazing drumming from Chris. It'd be the wick! Truckstop Edited May 26, 2011 by Truckstop Quote
waynepunkdude Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Dave Grohl = Drums Matt Freeman = Bass Fat Mike = Singer/frontman Kim Thayil =Guitar 1 Tom Morello = Guitar 2 Quote

Earbrass Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I don't need the great names in music playing alongside me, making me look and sound like an idiot. I can do that all by myself. Quote

nomis Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Stuart Braithwaite (mogwai) - Guitar Munaf Rayani (explosions in the sky) - Guitar Ben Bridwell (band of horses) - Vocals Aaron Harris (isis) - Drums Justing Broadrick (jesus/final) - Keys/guitar i think that would be a hilarious line up actually, william shatner on vocals Edited May 26, 2011 by therose789 Quote
Eight Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I think we did this a few years ago, and I ended up with the monkey from the Cadbury's ad on the drums and Nina Hagen on vocals (I still want Nina). So... in keeping with my current musical ideas... Bass - C'est moi! Vocals - Nina Hagen Drums - Henry Spinetti Guitar - J (Jay Noel Yuenger - White Zombie) Keyboards - Roddy Bottum (Faith No More) Quote
cetera Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Steve Perry (vocals) Tommy Shaw (gtr/bv's) Neal Schon (lead guitar) Todd Sucherman & Deen Castronovo (double drummers) Neil Peart (percussion) Steve Porcaro (keys) Tower Of Power horns, Memphis horns & Chicago horns (one massive horn section!) Quote

Quote
steve-bbb Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Mike Keneally, Jeff Berlin, Terry Bozzio Allan Holdsworth, Mike Pope, Billy Cobham Quote
risingson Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 If I was going for great musicianship: Stevie Wonder - Vocals/Keys Hiram Bullock (RIP) and Paul Jackson Jr - Guitars Greg Phillinganes - Keys Pino Palladino/Anthony Jackson - Bass Steve Ferrone/Steve Jordan - Kit Quote
Doddy Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Tough one. Assuming I was playing bass..... Guitar-Mike Stern or Mike Keneally Keys -Hiromi or Chick Corea or Larry Goldings (because Richard Tee isn't available) Drums-Dave Weckl or Steve Gadd or Tommy Igoe or Gregg Bissonette or Jojo Mayer Trumpet-Arturo Sandoval or Randy Brecker or John Faddis Sax-David Sanborn Or Bob Malach or Bob Franciscini. Quote
bobbass4k Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Mark Heron (Oceansize) - Drums Josh Homme (Kyuss/QOTSA/TCV et. al) - Guitar Mike Vennart (Oceansize) - Vocals/Guitar Barry Burns (Mogwai) - Keys/Piano/Guitar And if I wasn't going to play bass it'd be Chris Wolstenholme or Neil Mahoney (Amplifier) Quote
LawrenceH Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Doddy's line up is very hard to beat for sheer musical awesomeness. Especially Hiromi on piano, she's a phenomenon! But for a more soul/funk line-up I'd go for: Drums - Akira Jimbo, the man is hilarious and brilliant. (Rhythm) Guitar - Prince. Horns - gotta be Maceo, Fred and (I guess for lack of anyone else springing to mind) Randy Brecker Clavinet, Synth, Vox - Stevie Wonder Rhodes, Vox - D'Angelo All fronted by Sharon Jones My only concern is age as ideally I'd like it all to be choreographed by whoever did MJ's best stuff. And I want a Bill and Ted-style 16 months of intensive bass and dance training so I don't end up looking like a total embarrassment. Quote
Doddy Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 [quote name='LawrenceH' post='1246118' date='May 26 2011, 07:29 PM']Drums - Akira Jimbo, the man is hilarious and brilliant.[/quote] Akira Jimbo is ridiculous. I saw him on his first clinic tour-there were about 15 people there and he had to use a translator at times,but he blew everyone away. Quote
leonshelley01 Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Drums - Mike Portnoy Guitar - Tony Iommi Guitar - Jimmy Page Vocals - Bruce Dickinson and me! Quote
