Sonic_Groove Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) [quote name='Huwberry' post='735163' date='Feb 4 2010, 03:51 PM']Yeah Carles is great - as are the rest of that band. Saw them about 4 or 5 years ago at the Barbican I think. Really taken by his style. To say I'm not impressed by the technical ability of Marcus's solo here would be a lie. It's just that I'm so inspired by the fashion that everything else takes a back seat. Since first watching this video my wardrobe has gradually seen an influx of saggy wifebeaters and massive trackie bottoms. Also, whenever I'm on a gig with an alto sax player, quite without realising it I often end up next to him doing the same weird grooving leg dance during his solo.[/quote] LOL I was thinking of going for a style that encompasses the two greats in those videos (Carles & Marcus)... So if I had the long hair, grey beard with the wife beater, joggers & porkpie hat Do you think it would improve my playing???! B PS very jealous you caught that Chick Corea gig!

The sound was dodgy at times, but the musicianship was always top drawer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkpegasus4001 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 [quote name='Alfie' timestamp='1263757791' post='715944'] Bit of an unfashionable one (Jeremy Clarkson likes them)- Martin Turners solos during Handy by Wishbone Ash, very musical solos that build up into pretty solid grooves.

RoRi Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Probably as you noticed I'm a fan of Wojtek Pilichowski. This is a solo from his DVD "Bass Connection": [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqxVJp6fhaI&feature=g-like[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkypenguin Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 My favourite is Tony Grey's solo in Hiromi Uehara's "Spiral" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_klX6rQ4Sdc The one that stuns me every time i hear it is John Patitucci's rendition of "Giant Steps" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFVyia5x2uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 There aren't any "best" bass solos, just interesting ones, but I've just discovered this on YouTube. Takes me back to when I bought the album.

Skol303 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 For sheer ballsy, "****-the-twiddly-stuff-gung-ho-ness" - and for inspiring me to pick up a bass as a sweaty teenage metaller - I'd have to say one my faves is Cliff Burton's Anesthesia. It's messy. It's not especially technical (albeit tricky enough for me!). And it probably sounds quite cliched nowadays. But damn, did it ever rock my world when I was an impressionable youth...! Can't really say that I'm a huge fan of Metallica these days, but Cliff was - and perhaps still is - one the best metal bassists of his generation, IMHO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK2hruTkUVA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Agreed - I remember watching this on Cliff 'Em All and being gobsmacked, it was like nothing I had ever seen or heard before. Just so cool even all these years later - I loved Cliff!

I know punk musicians generally pride themselves on not being able to play a tune to save their life because it 'f***s the system' but that was genuinely cringeworthy.
