| | | | Groovy Bass Players?
Hey guys. Im trying to find bass players who are Groovy but simple. Im thinking something like James Jamerson. Now Jamerson is a god but if you can give me bass players who play interesting lines but are more focused on the song rather than their skills. Im not looking for another Jaco or Victor Wooten but simple bass lines that are cool. I hope I am explaining what Im looking for correctly. Thanks  |

Great P sound, his grooves are technically simple but very interesting in rhythm patterns.
Listen to the Meters (everything!), and to "Desitively Bonnaroo" by Dr. John.

| | | | Ahc: I agree with your comment about jamerson. When I usually ask people who some good bass players are they list off people who are very "Flashy' like jaco, victor wooten ect... Bass that stands out in the mix so to say |

bskts247: If I understood you correctly, I think the players mentioned in this thread DO stand out in the mix. And not just from "flash". Couple more to add: Bob Babbitt, Carol Kaye, Joe Osborne, Otiel Burbridge, Roscoe Beck, Gordon Edwards, Francis Rocco Prestia, Carl Radle.

Unsung Heroes : Southern Comfort : Crusaders 1 : Crusaders 2
