Pretty certain the bass player on Mayer's earliest stuff was David LaBruyere, incidentally he also produced the early Mayer stuff
[/quote]Yep, it'd be DeLa on the first two albums, Pino was drafted in for the trio and then Continuum and Battle Studies.

Speaking of the trio, they're back together in the studio right now!

Mayer has always had some great bassists! Sean Hurley is a great player too!

DeLa plays some great stuff on this acoustic version of 'No Such Thing':

FWIW I much prefer the first 2 Mayer records to anything he's done since, he sounded much better when his head was only half way up his own arse....

I'm sure that Pino is the bassist whenever the band is billed as the John Mayer Trio, with Steve Jordan on drums to complete the lineup.

You are correct. However Mayer uses Sean Hurley for his solo stuff both live, and in the studio currently :)

John Mayer has had some serioulsy good players on board over the years. I love what each of them has done at each stage of Mayers career although I do lean towards the first few albums than the last two.

I am so excited to see what comes from the trio being back in the studio. I read an article about John Mayer and he said that after doing very 'relaxed and chilled' albums he has a hankering to go and do something loud and bluesy, so heres hoping.

A current Mayer favourite of mine is this with Herbie Hancock. The wonderful Willie Weeks on bass. I've managed to get this on to the To Do list for one of my bands.

And some great playing in this too, although the balance and mix is all wrong with acoustic and bass and nothing else IMO...

I agree that the earlier albums were great but Try! is really good.

The LoFi Masters version of Love Soon has some nice playing on it too :-)
