Canadian low life

[Born 2B Mild]

Right now, I'm just a bit focused on all things bass, emanating from the great country that is Canada.

Genuine question: Apart from Geddy Lee, what other bass players are there from Canada?

Cheers,

Phil

[yorick]

Alain Caron

[tauzero]

Bryan Adams on occasion

[yorick]

Mike Levine of Triumph, Dan Roberts of Crash Test Dummies, Gord Sinclair of The Tragically Hip, Steve Fossen, the original bass player in Heart.

Brent Fitz who is in Slash's current band is Canadian born
apparently Alain Caron is also Canadian (Quebecoi)

and of course don't forget Keanu Reeves

[Bilbo]

Paul Harwood - Mahagoany Rush

The monster that is Kenneth "Spider" Sinnaeve (Kim Mitchell, Red Rider)

Mike Tilka - Max Webster

Dave Myles - also Max Webster

Joel Quarrington is also Canadian (classical double bass player)

Had to look Bachman Turner Overdrive up on Wiki, but Fred Turner is/was their bass player.

Any more?

Rick Danko

I think Bedouin Soundclash are Canadian, their bass player gets a decent groove going

[Count Bassy]

Joe Rockman (What a name) , who played with Jeff Healey.
