Name the Bassist by the Bass

[ivansc]

too many recent players for me - 12/15 but I did get that sonic youth one! (much to my surprise)

Was undecided between Ray Brown and Mingus though....  thats the problem with black and white pics....

[Hobbayne]

100% too. I got a bit caught out by Charles Mingus. I have never heard any of his stuff. Kim Gordon also caught me out.

I knew Tina Weymoth played a short scale Fender, and did not have huge, hairy arms so that was a bit of a giveaway!

[ezbass]

86% I’m not sure if I need to get out or stay in more.

Be on the safe side, do both.

[gjones]

16/15

[spectoremg]

86%

[T-Bay]

Another 60% here but I have to admit I have never been one to particularly follow people in bands I don’t listen to so thought that was an ok score for me.

[Bigwan]

100%... Had to guess the thunderbird one though... 

[spongebob]

I got Kim Gordon by her posture. She played a lot of basses over the years.... although I do always kind of associate her with the T'bird mainly.

93%. DB player caught me out.

93% but it was mixing up the Kims for me.

[mep]

12 correct.  80% for me. 

[Cato]

14/15

To be fair I guessed the double bassist and I wouldn't have got Tina Weymouth if I hadn't already read the answer on here.

I might not have got Steve Harris just by that particular bass, but his stance is a dead give away.

[Lozz196]

93%, Kim Gordon let me down - or rather, I let her down.

[ahpook]

One wrong - I don't know my Haden from my Mingus.

All the rest were pretty straightforward.

 

[AndyTravis]

All right apart put the wrong Kim for sonic youth...

[bassbiscuits]

14/15 for me - confused my Kim Deal and my Kim Gordon. 

And never heard of Thundercat! Good quiz tho.

53% . Never heard of half of the options and guessed a couple that I got right as well.

Same here. 53%. Hard to miss the heavy metal/rock legends then guess by skin colour and overly road relic bass.

I'd be fuming if Mr Steve Harris was not on list.

[lojo]

80% made 2 silly mistakes 

[Skybone]

100% with some very educated guesses

[Davebassics]

86% with one lucky guess

[Ghost_Bass]

13/15, had a lucky guess on the DB player but completely missed the Tina Weymouth (don't know her, never heard her name before). I got myself second guessing the Jack Bruce (it was my first reply) and in the last second changed wrongly for JPJ, don't know why...

[Donnyboy]

86%... 13 out of 15.. this included some guesswork. .although it's would've been hard not to get Lemmy or John Entwistle etc.

[JellyKnees]

10/15... I didn't know any of the rock players apart from Entwistle so had to guess at those... 

[ead]

Cheeky 86%, but one was a very lucky guess.

[ben4343]

2 wrong; Entwistle and Bootsy, which I guess means I got pretty lucky with the rest...

Off to try the guitars now! Edit: 10/15, but I think there were only about 5 I was confident with...
