cybertect Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1377728435' post='2191197']An interesting list but it shows that there aren't too many 'oldies' on here on BC. Only Macca, JPJ, John Entwistle and Jet Harris are from the 60s Beat Group era. No bassist from the 60-62 era Beat Instrumental Groups (I did add Brian Locking)[/quote] You missed Jack Bruce getting a look in already. I think Bill Wyman deserves a mention, as does Trevor Bolder.

I wonder how many people have actually posted a list of 'inspirational British bassists' or simply a list of well known or famous British bassists?

Does this tell you something about BC folk's vision of slap? [/quote] All it tells me is that you didn't read posts #44 & #47, and that some people aren't copying & pasting in the order the lists are being compiled in.

seashell Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1377767223' post='2191438'] Surely this has turned into just a list of British bassists. If this is a list of 'Inspirational British Bassists' then why is everyone listed well known? Surely someone must have been inspired by a teachers or by some bloke down the youth club or someone in a local band. [/quote] Oh absolutely! I would add: Colin D'Silva (Bhuddasbelli/The Frenzies) but most of all my awesome teacher: Mark Shilvock (haven't put them on the 'official' list though, as that's for James's bass relay purposes.)
