I'd have to say Led Zep. Think of all the women and drugs. I'd get John Paul Jones to dep for me overnight. ;-)

[norvegicusbass]

In no particular order:
The Stranglers
The Clash
The Sex Pistols
The Carpenters

[Bilbo]

No brainer for me: The Pat Metheny Group.

Interesting how most people pick bands with good bass players .

Me? If I could play the way I wanted...it's be U2.

I'd completely re-invent the band. And my career would be in high gear.

Meanwhile, replacing Steve Harris, though it'd be fun to play all his parts, would just make me the most hated guy in metal.

[hollywoodrox]

Rolling stones, guns n roses , crue or aerosmith

[CyberBass]

The Clash
The Skids
The Ruts

All classic bands to me that I love and have seen live on numerous occasions back in the day :-)

[Telebass]

Carpenters. Stones. That'll do nicely.

[Hutton]

The Funk Brothers.

I can think of loads of artists/bands that I would like to play for, but there's a funk band in France called Electro Deluxe that I think I would fit really well into.

I'm trying to start up a band with a similar layout as these guys, but struggling to find a decent horn section.

I'd love to play in the chili peppers or zeppelin but I'd probably be so intimidated by playing with my idols I'd fluff even the simplest basslines.
After them it's got to be Reef, that's a bass gig I'd love to get - having seen them live 19 times I'd like to think I could fit in with their live show.

[crez5150]

Chic
Earth Wind & Fire
Jamiroquai

[jackyvibe]

Simple Minds 79-85 (Derek Forbes era)

If time travel was an option - Hendrix, The Police and (maybe oddly) Duke Ellington.

If time travel isn't available, how about - Little Feat, Incognito or John Mayer?
