nick Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Hello all. This thread was on old site. I quite liked it because it made me aware of some of the more interesting overlooked players, probably never heard of or listened to in much detail. My nominations are: Barry Adamson (Magazine) George Murray (Bowie - 'Low','Scary Monsters')* wish I could find more info on this guy, nothing on Web(?) Has anybody got any other listening recommendations, more obscure the better. Cheers Nick Quote
Waldo Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 I say this each time one of these theads comes up: Andy Rourke, of The Smiths. Fantastic player. Quote

lowhand_mike Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) duff mckagan, some of the stuff on guns and roses is really good, i learnt to play bass by learning all of duff's stuff. Edited May 25, 2007 by lowhand_mike Quote
Snarf Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Most people find this band quite hard to stomach, but I reckon Michael Macivor from Candiria is a bit of an underrated legend. Norman Watt Roy, I'm not sure I'd say he was totally underrated, but he is a total legend. Quote

bassjamm Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 I reckon that Janek Gwizdala gets over looked by some players, maybe that's because he's doing some far out jazz stuff, but he's a serious serious player, and pushing the bass to it's limits!!! I think for tone, Paul Turner is serverely underrated, his tone is so hot it's unbelievable, i don't think he gets enough credit!!! Any finally, from what i have heard of his playing, Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher) is a monster player!!! Just a few...mayber Hadrien Feraud as well, although, i think he's pretty new on the scene, but he's got some serious chops!!! Jamie Quote
elom Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Keith Wilkinson of Squeeze put down some pretty good lines but never got much recognition. Quote
Veils Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 +1 for James Leach - that guy is my hero and he is an amazing bassist. Check out that crazy bass fill on Hold My Finger I always nominate Alex James for these discussions as well. Some of his basslines are superb and totally enhance Blur's music. Quote
Treeb Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Martin Turner, original bass player with Wishbone Ash ... excellent melodic bass lines. Quote
beerdragon Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 I always liked the sound Greg lake had, (ELP. King crimson etc.) no mean player either. Quote

[/size] And a lovely guy too - sadly now no longer with us. He always had a smile on his face when he played. David Quote

martthebass Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Having just picked up the latest BG mag....Bruce Foxton. Quote
treeso Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Dougie Poynter, i'll let you google it so i have time to run. But in my defence, he was playing stuff on a t4 interview last summer and he was amazing, it was some jaco pastorius thing he played! Quote
