Josh Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) Ryan Martinie - Mudvayne Sam Rivers - Limp Bizkit Dirk Lance - Incubus (Incidentally, Dirk was the person who introduced Sam Rivers to Warwick basse's) Stuart Zender - Jamiroquai Tye Zamora - Alien Ant Farm Arif Mirabdolbaghi - Portest The Hero And a few who are not greatly known but are huge on the American Gospel scene and are a bigger influence on me than some of the ones listed above: Dwayne Wright Justin Raines Thurman "Peanut" Woods John King Maruice Fitzgerald Apart from the religous jargon I think Gospel Bass Players are by far some of the best around, and pretty much all of them use Ken Smiths!

youngie Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 [quote name='paul, the' post='158030' date='Mar 15 2008, 04:05 PM']+1 to killers and Arctic Monkeys. I think the bassists stood out. Is it enough when we're eight years in?[/quote] no. as the kaiser chiefs sang 'everything is average nowadays' Quote

paul, the Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Who was the band on the culture show last week? It seemed a rare bit of honest 'indie' to my untrained ears. Quote
teen t-shirt Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 Tye Zamora - Alien Ant Farm thats his name i never could find out what his bloody name was.... cheers Josh........ Quote
Huge Hands Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I really like Terry Tribett who played with Jill Scott in the early noughties, part of her backing group "Fatback Taffy". His cousin (I think) Erik Tibett is a mentally amazing drummer too. I think they come from the Gospel scene. There are a load of unknown greats on the Philadelpia Nu-Soul scene, as far as I can tell. The hoodie guy in The Roots as well? Just my opinion. Quote
nick Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 I think Tord Øverland-Knudsen from the Wombats has potential [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RVXqMzGit8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RVXqMzGit8[/url] With a curly lead & what looks like a JapCrap Jazz copy - boy will go far! Quote
The Funk Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) [quote name='stoo' post='209298' date='May 30 2008, 01:01 AM']No mention of Tal Wilkenfeld yet?[/quote] Rightly so. Danyel Morgan of Robert Randolph & The Family Band. Good bass player and he was nice enough to message back on myspace. Edited May 30, 2008 by The Funk Quote
mike257 Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Biffy Clyro's James Johnston is a cracking player. Solid, simple, hooky bass parts, and tasty tone too. I think we can allow Chris Wolstenholme too, seen as all but one of their albums are from the 00's... he's a beast!! Quote
Beefy Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Pete McCullaugh from Streetlight Manifesto is an awsome bass player. The band formed in 2001 so they qualify His bass lines are so fast but still totally smooth. Quote

Born 2B Mild Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 How depressing. Despite being an Old Git, I pride myself on keeping up with Good New Stuff. I just looked at my download library for inspiration, but my 'finds' of late are more acoustic leaning. Lots of good albums have come out in the naughties, but from acts who hail from at least a decade or two a go. One act that could make this thread though is Yeasayer ...with Ira Wolf Tuton making the bass a vital ingredient. Quote

TimmyC Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Yeah they're great - can't wait so see them at the Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park with Clapton (hopefully Doyle Bramhall II too), Mayer and Scott McKeon. If you don't know Scott then you should really check him out: [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zNCiH37xAZM"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zNCiH37xAZM[/url] Quite undergroud at the moment but will make it big I think. Sorry for going off at a tangent. My vote is for [b]Paul Turner[/b], I can't wait for the next JK album. Just look at Runaway for an example of what's to come. Edited May 30, 2008 by TimmyC Quote

Great talent. Speaking of talent... when did Tal Wilkenfeld stand out in the circuit? me thinks 00's Edited May 30, 2008 by Aussiephoenix Quote
Jobiebass Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 [quote name='teen t-shirt' post='157918' date='Mar 15 2008, 12:50 PM']sorry guys i probably didn't start this too well shall we say bassists that are still going strong or still going at all in the 00's that'll be easier gets his coat for being such a muppet![/quote] If thats the Case...... Flea Quote
Buzz Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Hmm, Robert Trujillo counts as a 00's+ player I think, and he's rather good even if I don't like the tone his generally uses live. Quote
