Dazm66 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 This bloke currently for me. This vid reminds me of a modern take on John Entwistle of Jack Bruce where he’s all over the place but NEVER playing anything that doesn’t serve the song. I think gospel music is supplying some of the best musicians at the mo in general. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like he just has a knackered input jack and is just pulling the lead in and out. I do love 'Warhead' though, such a tune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Can't do it! It changes every day. Could be Sheehan one day, Dunn, then Claypool, then 'Nard, Deacon, Newsted, dUg etc etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzyvee Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) In equal measures, Aston "Family Man" Barrett && Stanley Clarke they are so different and their playing represent the largest influences on my taste in music. They are joint No:1 Edited July 7, 2022 by jazzyvee 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My top 5 have been pretty consistent all my bass playing life - 'Nard, Louis Johnson, Marcus Miller, Larry Graham and Mark King. BE edges it as for me he's created more memorable basslines. Even played on their own I know which songs they're from. From a technical POV alone #1 would be MM. Stuart Zender I rate highly but his body of work's a bit slim so I only know his Jamiroquai stuff.

Hamster Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I used to play jazz guitar to a pretty reasonable standard in the 70's & 80's but once I saw this guy he turned me......................... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 12 hours ago, bartelby said: You're all wrong! It's Cronos... I'm joking, btw... Gosh that certainly was a spirited performance... Has he removed the frets from the upper register of his bass? Did he whip 'em off because he just didn't play them, to cut down the weight of the instrument or does he bust out a high pitched version of "Donna Lee" during the show, too?

rushbo Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 For longevity and a diehard work ethic, you can't go far wrong with Mike Watt. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordep Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Hard, but I will go with Michael Manring. this video still give me chills. The way he used the natural reverb of the room is so good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Probably my favourite would be Stephen Amazing (Upp). John Deacon is my biggest influence and other names have already cropped up but this guy knows his way around and is pretty dead funky! No visuals to this but stick Upp into YouTube and you get a clip of Upp playing behind Jeff Beck on the Beeb.

Coilte Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 It has to be "Chicago's" Peter Cetera for me. Obviously the video clip is not him. I posted this clip because the bass lines are higher in the mix, thus giving us better clarity. The cover itself is spot on too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Loads of bass players stand out for me. Special mention goes to (previously nominated) Geddy Lee and Tony Levin. @Lozz196 has already mentioned Bruce Foxton; one of my bands does punk/new wave stuff and the Jam covers we do really are a cut above, bass line-wise, and Bruce Foxton did all that while jumping up and down. So, as no one has mentioned Jean Jacques Brunel of the Stranglers, he shall be my nominee. The bass in the Stranglers stuff when I used to go and see them really stands out, like Lemmy's bass in Motorhead...as Paul Del Bello points out in this YouTube video: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
