Dood Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 You could ask the same question of Bass Players on Guitar! John Deacon for example was a bit handy on the Guitar though you'd never have known on the face of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I guess my fellow D'Addario/Dingwall artist Nolly is known for his bass work in Periphery but he's a [i]great[/i] Guitarist. Andy James usually plays all the bass on his solo albums (only cos he couldn't afford me lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 [quote name='NoRhino' timestamp='1494246268' post='3294274'] Ron Wood [/quote] Ronnie Wood's playing on Maggie May is so tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) This guys has had a bit of a turn with on bass... Lets think.... Lets Spend The Night Together... Jumpin' Jack Flash, Sympathy for the Devil, Street Fighting Man... That's some impressive records to have a bass credit on. Oh, and he was the bass player in the Dirty Mac with John Lennon!

Japhet Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Probably not too well known but Robbie MacIntosh (a proper guitarist's guitarist) is a great bass player. Does a lot of the bass work on his own albums, mainly when he can't get hold of Pino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 John Paul Jones did some Mandolin playing that was nice but that's round the wrong way i guess. He was however multi instrumentalist. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftybassman392 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Newton Faulkner[i].[/i] IIRC he plays all the instruments on his albums himself. A brilliant all-round musician IMHO. Edited May 8, 2017 by leftybassman392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Dunky Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Richie Kotzen. Otherworldly guitarist, and a really good bassist. Stevie Salas is much the same. I witnessed Bumblefoot dicking about on a bass on the Vigier stand at Music Live in 2002 and he was staggeringly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) George Harrison played bass on a few Beatle tracks. Edit - Oh! and Adele is quite handy on the bass too. Edited May 8, 2017 by Hobbayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Isn't Yngwie Malmsteen very much in the "transfer your widdly guitar chops across to bass" camp, capable though he is? Mike Oldfield is a good call (thinking of the old Kevin Ayers albums). Also, John Scofield is doubling on bass with the Brad Mehldau trio at the moment, playing a short-scale Mustang bass in a convincingly restrained, unflashy style.
