Geek99 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I'm at a low level technically due to time constraints, so listening to John McVie, Duff, Adam Clayton**, Bruce Thomas and James Jamerson - I appreciate them even if I cant play much of it yet. ** I know I'll get slagged for this, just need some easy stuff to start with that fits against simple drum patterns Edited January 17, 2012 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immo Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'll be honest - guys who do extremely simple things and still sounding awesome: mostly Paul Simonon from The Clash and Cubbie Fink from Foster the People (these two guys in one pot may seem a bit blasphemous to some, but, hey...)

[/quote] Got to admit, I did a fair bit of listening to that record over Christmas as well. Though at the moment, its mainly [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]Jon Stockman from Australian band Karnivool. Very good groove, choice of fills and that tone just hits the spot...

Dood Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Certainly been enjoying the Dirty Loops videos that have been appearing on YouTube. Really talented bass player. Hmmmm, not sure actually - really been listening to more guitarists for a bit of influence recently. Mike Casswell, Jamie Humphries and my buddy Andy James who I'm doing some stuff with at the moment. Great players! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 +1 on Andy Turner. Feel bad for having forgot him. The bass solo at the start of 'Handy' is Beatiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulypbass Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Mark hoppus- love his tone even if his playing is simple Roger from less than jake.- just like some of the funky basslines he comes up with which are fun to play Billy sheedan- odd one out the three but just seems such a nice guy and his playing is nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
