njr911 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 What do I need to listen to to inspire me further ? What's the best Jaco album to listen to ? Whe else deserves a special listen ? Cheers Neil Quote
paul_5 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Or John Giblin. John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) is no slouch either. 'Motown' tracks will almost certainly have great bass playing on them - James Jamerson, Carol Kaye, Bob Babbit etc... Quote
Cameronj279 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Alone by Evan Brewer Tales from the punch bowl by Primus And if you like/can appreciate metal L.D.50 by Mudvayne Fortress by Protest the Hero Quote
Bilbo Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Essential Jaco....I posted this list on Amazon in 2002!!! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jaco-Pastorius-must-haves/lm/CQV1MT7G3OX4/ref=cm_srch_res_rpli_alt_1 Quote
joeystrange Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I know it's not incredible stuff but I've always loved listening to Tommy Shannon's playing on the SRV stuff. So effortless. Quote
Jacqueslemac Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) I was about to mention Tommy Shannon too! What a fantastic tone. The Who's Live at Leeds has some great moments from Entwhistle. Edited July 10, 2012 by Jacqueslemac Quote
SpaceChick Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 [quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1341937016' post='1726549'] Emergency on Planet Earth - Jamiroquai [/quote] +1 to this Also Duran Durans greatest and for a different bass feel Marcus Miller Rennaisance Quote
crez5150 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Level 42 - Level 42 and also The Early Tapes Quote
the_skezz Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 If they're your cup of tea, the Stranglers - Black and White. The solos in Curfew and Walk on By, the intros to Toiler on the Sea/Enough Time/Death and Night and Blood, the lines on In the Shadows and Do You Wanna...and of course Nice n Sleazy! All fantastic, IMO the best album of theirs basswise. Quote
BottomE Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Donald Fagens Nightfly album has some pretty tasty playing and i have always liked Marcus Millers stuff with Grover Washington. Yep, its all middle of the road but the playing is clear, defined and tasty (all IMHO of course) Quote
chris_b Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Everything mentioned above and anything by Little Feat, Delbert McClinton, Keb Mo, Bonnie Raitt and The Meters. Quote
lettsguitars Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Janek Gwizdala, of course. All free downloads from his website too. Tony Grey. The Dave Weckl band maybe. Obviously Graceland has to be up there. Any dr Alimantado album. Many many great players. Quote
darkandrew Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 What no Rogers/Edwards recordings? The first couple of Chic albums are always worth a listen, as is Sister Sledge's "We are family". Quote
funkypenguin Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Hiromi - Voice - Anthony Jackson on bass, some stunning playing on here. Hiromi - Spiral - Hiromi's best album IMO, Tony Grey produced some of the most incredible bass work ive ever heard for this one. Dream Theater - Images and Words/Awake - John Myung. His best bass work is on these 2 albums, essential listening IMO John Patitucci - Heart of the Bass - One of the best bass led albums ive heard. Jaco has nothing on Patitucci IMHO, total command of the electric and the upright John Patitucci - Remembrance Rush - Moving Pictures Quote
grumble Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Oldies but goodies Stan Clarke - Stanley Clarke/Journey to Love/School Days Quote
darkandrew Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Oh and another of my favourite albums to listen and play along to is Exodus by Bob Marley and the Wailers. Quote
mingsta Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Check out the Stanley Clarke Original Album Series on amazon - 5 of his classic albums for a tenner! Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magick - fleas tone is killer on this, I spent years wondering why I couldn't get that sound from my Stingray until I read that he recorded most of it with a Wal! All the early Four Tops/Marvin Gaye/Stevie Wonder stuff with Jamerson and Bob Babbet Quote
cloudburst Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 +1 on Graceland and Chic. I've been listening to "The Definitive Groove Collection" which is available for each of Chic and Sister Sledge. Also: Shalamar - The Ultimate Best Of Gail Ann Dorsey - Rude Blue Gary Numan - I, Assassin Phil Collins - But Seriously Paul Young - No Parlez Paul Young - The Secret Of Association CB Quote
Cameronj279 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Although I hated the film with every fibre of my being. The soundtrack from the film 'Mamma Mia' is pretty great when it comes to the bass tracks. I don't know if the actual music tracks are the same in ABBA songs but they're pretty good in that film.

Wil Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 The first three Jamiroquai albums Rage Against the Machine's first album Skunk Anansie's first two albums BSSM by RHCP Any Led Zep album Quote
