Coilte Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Canned Heat's Larry Taylor (RIP), and Buddy Guy's bassist Greg Rzab. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquilador Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 John McVie with early Fleetwood Mac and John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. I'm stuck in a time warp in the late sixties British Blues Band explosion. Someone earlier mentioned Roscoe Beck. I also saw Robben Ford and the Blue Line in the 1990’s (I think) at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon and was impressed with Roscoe, so I shall have to include him too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigyin Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Tommy Shannon, Johnny B Gayden, Keith Ferguson all spring to mind and can all lay down a great groove and swing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford13 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Check on Pino Palladino on the John Mayer Trio album Try! Absolute master class in taste full playing and making a guitar trio sound “full”. Another great example of why Pino should go down as one of the greats! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4396AVR51tE 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Leo Lyons of 10 Years After and more recently Hundred Seventy Split deserves a mention. Andy Fraser of Free too. Edited March 30, 2020 by ead 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Who was it that played with Joe Bonamassa before he became a massive d1ck and needed a different guitar for every song? Edited March 30, 2020 by ead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I had completely forgotten about it. I agree that Pino should go down as one of the greats. He is so versatile and class in every genre he plays.

Buzzy Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Bill Wyman had a great feel for Blues and often played fretless. Definitely influenced by Willie Dixon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Are we just naming great bass players now? I agree that Pino is an excellent player, but if we are listing blues bass players there are better choices in that genre. Pino's great playing on BB King's Deuces Wild is totally upstaged by Michael Doster's bass playing on BB KIng's other collaboration album, Blues Summit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call it blues but as gloriously overplayed rocking 12 bars go it was a good one. Bass and drums are tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichValentine Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Duck Dunn and Tommy Shannon as favourites. Just for playing relatively "simple" parts that just enhance the music. Might be controversial but surprised Jack Bruce hasn't had a mention yet... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E sharp Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 5 hours ago, Japhet said: I'll give a shout to Jimmy Dewar (Robin Trower) as a bass player with a fabulous voice as well. Also Tommy Shannon and Noel Redding. Jimmy Dewar had one of the greatest male rock voices of all time - just my opinion .
