the boy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 The Doors, for I reckon if jim had of received a few slaps of a jazz bass he wouldn't of been such an arsehole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoNeedsYou Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Actually the PERFECT band for me would be the runaways, though i would turn my nose up to the drugs unless they involved cake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTB Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 As Dave Swift's job has gone, I would enjoy doing Will Lee's gig on the Letterman show. A wide variety of artists to play with & sensible working hours - sounds perfect to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.I. Joe Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but do record company house bands like the Funk Brothers count in this list? If so then they have my vote. I can't imagine how amazing it must be to work with so many great musicians and to perform and record with different talents every day, and best of all - to be given free reign on the bass part!

wateroftyne Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Mark Knopfler's band. I actually got a taste of it earlier in the year and it was every bit as awesome as I'd hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Herbie Hancock's band. In some ways, Zappa's band would be preferable. But I've heard that he was a hard taskmaster and that playing in his band was musically rewarding, but not always pure enjoyment. Weather Report would be nice too, but I think that Zawiunul comes up with fewer cracking melodic tracks than Hancock. Edit: Jan Hammer? BTW: I listen to mainly pop/rock. But this thread is about which band I'd like to play in if I could. Edited December 23, 2013 by Annoying Twit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I'm also in a band I'm really happy with. I also wouldn't want to hear me in most of my favourite bands as the bassists are a vitally important part of the music and sound, but that aside I'd love to play in/with any of the following: Hawkwind circa Space Ritual or Warrior (i.e. Lemmy era) Seal (1st 2 albums) KT Tunstall ABBA Return To Forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krysh Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 There is no "band" that I would love to replace the bassplayer in, but there are a lot musicians I'd love to do an originals project with like prince, larry carlton, herbie hancock, to name only a few...

grunge666 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 KISS (don't say a word!!) Iron Maiden Queens of the Stone Age or Fu Manchu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Involving time travel, Metallica on the Shattered Justice tour, without a Tardis, Down or Cave In would suit me very well. I have recently come across a small band from Brighton called Sea Bastard I'd love to play for, if their bass player quit I'd give auditioning serious consideration.
