discreet Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Now I'm in a 9-piece soul band, I've got to say Donald 'Duck' Dunn.

artisan Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 at the moment i'd say Al Gare (Imelda May) as i'm trying to play double bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 As always, Scott Thunes. He is endlessly inspiring for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 My own personal taste I'd go for Fredrico Malaman posted recently by Funkettone on BC from Euro bass festival 2011. This guy has an incredible style, fluent and technical at same time yet very entertaining. From my band perspective covering classic rock i would have to say Bob Daisley. Has to be one of the best rock bassists ever. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Guy Pratt. I've finally got around to reading his book and am finding it quite inspiring. Also listening to Icehouse for the fisrt time because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairyhaw Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Re-visiting a lot of old tunes by The Charlatans so at the moment I'd have to say Martin Blunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Charlie Mingus at the moment. I own a lot of records that he has released or appeared on for years, but never really sat down to study him. I am not DB player, but I love his feel and I don't think you need to be a DB player to appreciate him. Really sexy and dirty style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatboter Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Victor Wooten always inspires me...not that I'm anywhere in that region but just the idea that anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Recently it's Stu Cook from Creedence, he's got a real swampy feel and it's been really easy to learn his stuff quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him with Rory Gallagher back in the mid 70's. Such incredible energy from the trio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 My new band is doing a fair bit of 80s material and I'm using my fretless more, so Pino is back front and centre for my inspiration (not that he was ever really away). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshL Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Not sure what his name is but I'm still running through a lot of plan b stuff at the moment so the bassist for him along with the bassist in no doubt having just learnt its my life!

Stu-khag Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Ashley Hutchings on Liege and Leaf by fairport convention is inspiring me at the moment. The drumming is pretty amazing as well. I wish I could find a band to lock in with like that!

This gig is great as well although he later complained the Marshall backline couldn't handle his aggressive picking technique and he was always breaking it. Along the same lines, I got Standing in the Shadows of Motown for Christmas so I'm a major Jamerson binge at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
