Bassman Steve Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Jeff Beck at al at Ronnie Scotts. Quote
gjones Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Jeff Beck (to stretch me) The Rolling Stones (for the groove) The Waterboys (I just like the tunes) Quote
TommyK Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 John Frusciante, the perfect guitarist for bass players I think. Quote
bassace Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 [quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1359626834' post='1957679'] I'm a wee bit older, & my guilty pleasure would be Elkie Brooks. Saw her live in Barnstaple a few years ago & she was exceptional. (I might get to pluck her later........ ) G. [/quote] I played support when she gigged at Oxford Town Hall as 17yr old Elaine Mansfield. Never forgotten. Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 [quote name='TommyK' timestamp='1359640401' post='1958065'] John Frusciante, the perfect guitarist for bass players I think. [/quote] Yes, he is. Him, Larry Lalonde (mentioned earlier) and Andy Summers are ideal for us bass playing folks. Liking Jeff Porcaro (RIP) from Kiwi, but I'll add... Carl Palmer or, in fact, a young (shut up and sit on the drum stool!) Phil Collins for drummers Quote
risingson Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1359615550' post='1957475'] Jeff Pocaro [/quote] Great shout! Would love to play with Sting. Drummer wise, Steve Jordan, Keith Carlock and Abe Laboriel Jr. would be amazing guys to play with. Quote
Lord Sausage Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Jimmy Page, Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Richie Blackmore Jon Lord Terry Bozzio, John Bonham Kate Bush Quote
BassTractor Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I might like to be in Emerson, Bert & Palmer. Sadly though, my chances are a lot better in Bert, Lake & Palmer. best, bert Quote
Jazzneck Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I am old but: Allman Brothers Little Feat The Stax Tour 1967 Quote
xgsjx Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1359616554' post='1957482'] Björk. [/quote] The first person who came into my head when I read the title. Not just to play bass, but any instrument. & some of the time signatures & changes make Jazz seem as complex as 90s happy hardcore! Quote
Kiwi Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 [quote name='risingson' timestamp='1359646080' post='1958175'] Great shout! [/quote] The way I figure...if I couldn't sound good with him, then I might as well hang up the instrument and take up tibetan nose flute blowing or something. Would love to have played with Alan Murphy too, his playing makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up - taken way before his time. Come to think of it, I might as well form a zombie band. Drums - Jeff Pocaro (Toto) Guitar - Alan Murphy (L42/Go West/Sessionista) Keys - Richard Wright (Floyd) Percussion - Jack Ashford (Funk Bros) Singers - Aaliyah, Eva Cassidy, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and...Elvis (because, its [i]my[/i] zombie band, ok?)

nobodysprefect Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Zombie band eh? Hmm, couldn't think of the One Lineup to Rule Them All and need to head off to a gig... But I'm fairly sure I'd have Frank Zappa on guitar. And he couldn't say no, because he's a zombie and I'm a necromancer. Edited February 2, 2013 by nobody's prefect Quote
Earbrass Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Somehow, the idea of being on stage with one of my musical heroes, seeing them look across at me as I dig deep into the groove and hearing the magic words..."get that idiot out of here" doesn't appeal. Quote
nobodysprefect Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 You'd get to rehearse the material, unlike in silddx' nightmares! Quote
