Born 2B Mild Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 From the past, an underated player is Dave Pegg ...Fairport/Tull. He inspired me from the day I heard his wah bass solo on Sloth. I met him 30 years later and told him that me playing bass was all his fault. Saw him gigging recently and he's still inventive, with trade-mark harmonics and 5-string. From 'now' I'd go for Alonza Bevan of Kula Shaker. Creative, yet complimentary to the rest of the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Bolton Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Joe Lally of Fugazi. Lovely reggae/dub/funk/punk style. Another +1 for Tony Kanal. Disagree with Ian Grushka from New Found Glory though,saw them a year or so ago, he was lucky if he could get through a whole song without fudging it up.

Hot Tub Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 John McCoy. Nowt fancy, just pumping, thumping roots & a few bits & pieces, but absolutely rock solid, which is what a ROCK bassist is supposed to be. Simple and effective. And live? Sheer entertainment!

Jono Bolton Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Colin Greenwood of Radiohead. A lot of his lines are pretty simple but they're usually what makes the song, it's offset nicely against all the complicated w***ery going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rearranged is a tasty line. Actually, everyone in the original LB lineup was ridiculously talented with the exception of that knuckle-dragging twat of a frontman.

WalMan Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'll say it here as well. Rick Anderson - The Tubes One of my favourite bands who I will always make time to get to see at least once (if not more) when they are over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 dunno if anyone else or i've already said this i've only read to page 6, but who's the guy who plays for rancid? he's great. also ben osmundson of zebrahead, and ian gushka of new found glory can both be quite good. i never hear anyone mention any of these guys, i think they deserve a little more recognition than they get.
