Who would you - most have enjoyed playing bass with?

I’m 41 and you all make me feel very young.

I’dve been happy playing bass in Cream.

Back OT, I would have loved to have Bill Wyman's job in the Stones, or to play with any period of The E Street Band.

There are others, but I know I would never be able to hack it ( Chic, Motown ), but might (just) be in with a chance

for the two above.

I know what you mean I reckon the experience was a easy ride really!

So its true about Americans and a sense of humor bypass. 

OMG, ok, I'd love to replace Doug in Kings X.

Replacing Daryl in The Stones would be cool too. except he's a bit too far in the background for my taste 

I hope everybody is happy, making me choose fantasy over reality.?

It's a default state on this board.

UFO. I would like to have had the ride Pete Way had alongside Michael Schenker (minus the Heroin habit of course). I asked him what happened to his Natural Grain 1976 Bicentennial Thunderbird (of which only 224 were made) which was last seen around 1980. "I don't know" was his answer, so sad.

I'd love to have played with the Funk Brothers in their prime, although I suspect they'd be begging Jamerson to come back after the first half hour.

Though I'd love to have been in Duck Dunn's shoes, or Jamerson's, or Kaye's, I wouldn't have had the chops for those serious '60s studio gigs (tell a lie, I could manage with the MG's... probably my all-time fave band).

I'd like to have played with Dylan, or Van Morrison, anywhere roughly between 1967 and 1974. Simple song structures but flying by the seat of your pants and right in the middle of that swirling mercury sound. 

 

 

[bazzbass]

JPJ, just to play with Bonzo, if I have to include Jimmy P then so be it  

[KiOgon]

Pink Floyd - if only GP hadn't got that gig

[Mykesbass]

The Faces. Not my favourite band, but one I've always thought "now that's the type of band I want to be in".

[Mastodon2]

Tony Macalpine during the era of the first CAB album.

 

I also think I would gel pretty well with Greg Howe.

[Yank]

Muddy Waters or Gram Parsons.

[Japhet]

Think it would be Santana for me.

Got to be the Sex pistols, it must have been a hell of a ride for a couple of years.

Same for me.

Seriously Ivansc,

For Jimi it would have been one or the other.

I would think most of the 60 year old plus guys here that have a basic knowledge of Jimi"s career would agree

Yeah - just couldnt resist the temptation to respond as I did though...  FWIW I fell over backwards onto a small tree stump (about 6" high 3" in diameter) a couple of days ago whilst trying to pull up another stump beside it.  I am shambling around like some old fogey due to the  bruising, fortunately NOT broken backbone or ribs. But I have 2 gigs on Sunday and another on Thursday, all of which I am also providing the (admittedly fairly small) PA.  Ouch!

[ezbass]

Peter Gabriel during the So and Us period.

[Dandelion]

The Mission.  Gods own Medicine tour.

Good call, me too. Couldn't have kept up with the drinking antics though.....

[neilp]

Springsteen. I'm a massive fan, seen him do it to audiences all over Europe. It's not a musical thing. It would be a really easy gig, and to see him do his thing close up would be fantastic

[TheGreek]

T.Rex - playing with Marc Bolan at his prime must have been a blast - he was the Master of the Riff.

[mike f]

AC/DC late 70s. Musicman, Ampeg,  wall of sound and loud as hell, grooving hard every night,  watching Bon and Angus do their thing to packed audiences all around the world. 

[paul_5]

Zappa.

If you lasted half hour you'd be a Legend yourself
