jonny-lad Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Charlie Hunter Trio...does it count as not having a bass with the 8-string Novax that he plays - 3 bass strings and 5 guitar strings? It's pretty unique and impressive either way, and well worth checking out! [url="http://www.charliehunter.com/"]www.charliehunter.com[/url] Lots of Hammond organ trio stuff is good too like some of the Pat Martino stuff, such as 'Liva at Yoshi's.' Joey Defrancesco is a great Hammond organ player who covers the bass incredibly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobiebass Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 [quote name='chris_b' post='583039' date='Aug 27 2009, 11:01 PM']They used one on the records though, so we're not that disposable![/quote] Yeah The Doors got a session bassist in for a few songs like Peace Frog etc. Listening to the doors made me want to play an instrument, my mate was selling a sh*t Bass so I had a go... then realised after buying it that the Doors didnt have a bassist. Fail. but WIN for the bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 On a slight tangent.... I once saw a Stanley Clarke gig on TV and he had a 'proper' bass player standing next to him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw a Stanley Clarke gig on TV and he had a 'proper' bass player standing next to him![/quote] Yeah that confused the hell put of me when I covered his 'Live at the Greek' version of 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat', in the end I mainly played the 'bass' bass part and incorporated a few of Stanley's licks where they were needed. The lead guitarist had it worse though trying to come up with a composite line of all the horn, guitar and lead bass parts that were going on throughout the song, did a great job though I reckon.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Atomic Rooster, was gonna say Sparks Remember a band from the'90s Cop Shoot Cop, who had 2 bass players but no guitar....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I believe that Jeff Beck's superb 'guitar shop' album was just guitar, keys and drums. Dream Theater don't have a bass pla.......... oh no, hold on, it's just that he's always mixed out of the CDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Jimmie Vaughan Steve Winwood Both powered by Hammond pedals in a live situation. Saw Little Richard a while ago with 2 bass players (one who looked a bit like Prince funnily enough). Also recent showing on BBC4 of a James Brown concert from St Lukes - 2 bass players in the band.
