WhoNeedsYou Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 [quote name='pnefc42' timestamp='1357304547' post='1920633'] Deacon & Taylor get a vote from me too (especially live) [/quote] + 1 without question. Quote
Lynottfan Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Lynott/Downey no surprise from me. Harris/Burr for me. Norman Watt-Roy and Charlie Charles monsters! Prescott Niles and Bruce Gary awesome my little pretty ones Jet Harris and Tony Meehan rock n roll drum and bass gods Quote
timmo Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Bruce Foxton/Rick Buckler - The Jam. My favourite while growing up Paul Simonon/Topper Headon-The Clash. Liked their energy Quote
alstocko Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Pino and Chris Dave on José James' latest album Basically Pino with anyone Quote
JTUK Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1357403360' post='1922196'] Just been listening to some live Average White Band so got to say Alan Gorrie/Steve Ferrone, although on some tracks Gorrie and Hamish Stuart swap bass and guitar duties. [/quote] That is Ferrone for you..makes anyone sound good. Ditto Pocaro. Always had a soft spot for Micky Curry and T-Bone. Will Lee and Anton Figg Dennis C and just about anyone but Steely Dan and Tom Barney was a good match. Quote
Mog Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Just about all of my favourites have been mentioned bar: Inez/Kinney - Alice in Chains Brown/Bower - Down Dean/Mullin - Corrosion of Conformity Zamora/Cosgrove - Alien Ant Farm Quote
ZenBasses Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 [quote name='Mook' timestamp='1357635797' post='1925554'] Dougie Thomson - Bob Siebenberg (Supertramp) Marcus Miller - Poogie Bell Jack Bruce - Ginger Baker Tommy Shannon - Chris Layton (Stevie Ray Vaughan) All massively influenced me...

bobbass4k Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Probably not even remotely anyone's cup of tea, but these guys are insanely tight: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37GOdU-gUAw[/media] Quote
Lynottfan Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I forgot to add one of the very best I saw live, The incredible Marcel Jacob and Jamie Borger . Quote

BassManGraham Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Sorry just too many great bass/drum combos to choose one. As Julie Andrews once sang -- Here are a few of my favourite things James Jamerson/Pistol Allen or Uriel Jones Bernard Edwards/TonyThompson Sting/Copeland Flea/Chad Smith Andy Frazer/Simon Kirke Lee Sklar/Billy Cobham Squire/Bruford Tal Wilkenfeld/Vinnie Colaiuta Verdine White/White J P Jones/Bonzo Glen Hughes/Dave Holland Edited April 13, 2013 by BassManGraham Quote
chrismuzz Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I've never seen a bassist/drummer as in sync as these two are. VERY cool! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvoNgSQpLJ0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvoNgSQpLJ0[/url] Quote
thumbo Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Todd Trainer / Bob Weston really nail it live. There's something in the feel of how they play that makes me grin from ear to ear. Quote
funkgod Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Again so many great players that work well together 1) Rocco Prestia and David Garibaldi 2) David Garibaldi and Rocco Prestia 3) Jerry (Jerome)Preston and jamal Thomas (maceo Parker) 4) Mark king and phil gould 5) Gary Crockett and Andrew McGuinness (JTQ) 6) Ernie Mckone and Crispin Taylor (push) 7) Gary willis and Dennis Chambers 8) Dave Weckl and tom Kennedy 9) Randy Hope-taylor and Andy Gangadeen/Richard bailey 10) will Lee and steve gadd Edited April 13, 2013 by funkgod Quote
garry71 Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Watts and Wyman - really tight together. I think Wyman's "muddy" sound suited The Stones better than something more upfront. Neil Smith and Dennis Dunaway from early '70s Alice Cooper. One of the few bands where I'd listen to each member individually. Chris Franz and Tina Weymouth from Talking Heads. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rpYo4GFt2k"] Warning Sign[/url]'s my favourite, one of their simpler songs. Plus any drum/bass pair that Bowie used in the '70s. Quote
