Looking back now I can see how he helped to shape my playing - as did the whole band. While most 70s prog bands now sound mainstream, Giant still sound as "off the wall" as they did then.

SpaceChick Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1377853352' post='2192676'] Yes Richard, i was amazed that no one had added MK (i didn't because i don't find him inspirational) and presumed he hadn't inspired anyone who had posted but in reality as this is a list of well known British bass players it was extremely odd that he wasn't on it. [/quote] I think it's due to the fact that anyone who has had half an eye on the bass relay has ALREADY SEEN MARK KING PICTURED WITH THE BASS.... So no need to add him again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassist_lewis Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Does it have to guys in famous bands? There's a couple of local guys in Edinburgh that are incredible players, easily up there with the big names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 No idea if he was a good bassist, but I would imagine Peter Hook from Joy Division and later New Order must have inspired somebody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Don't think I've seen him anywhere on here, but one of my favourites has got to be Francis Hylton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy that plays for Bedford Falls at the Barony inn (and most other bands that play there it seems!) is awesome. I was told he played with the proclaimers in the early days? can't remember his name unfortunately ....probably because I have usually had one or two beers when i go there ;-) but he sure does take some beating.

[/quote] I've never been there but I was thinking of Dougie Coulter (bass guitar) who plays for the Mike Kearney Ka-Tet at Jazzbar on Wednesdays (think he does a few other nights too) and Ed Kelly (double bass) who does various trios and quartets. Both excellent and therefore inspirational players. There's also Aki, he normally plays guitar but he's a hell of a bass player too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
