Pete Academy Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Not necessarily the best. Living or dead.

Pete Academy Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 His slap solos are just so rhythmic and musical, without resorting to showing off his technical ability. He also looks so cool when performing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin_lindsay Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Everyone has their own reference ppiints. For me, it's always been Pino Palladino. Saw him live on New Years Evw 1981 and it changed my perception of how fluid a bass player could be. And, even though he's now a friend of mine, I am still inspired by his playing.

Clarky Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) For floppy hat, flares and glove-wearing it has to be Nigel silddx Otherwise I'd go for Paul Simonon [attachment=85841:Paul_Sim...mg_6701b.jpg] ... and DEFINITELY NOT this guy [attachment=85842:kev_and_...f_berlin.jpg] Edited July 28, 2011 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blademan_98 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 If we are just talking cool, then my mate Dave March in the band 'The Shuffle' is pretty cool I've known him for years and he also plays drums, guitar and keys!

Roland Rock Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Anyone seen Amp Fiddler live while Bubz Fiddler was on bass? The vid doesn't really capture it, but this dude is cool.
