| | | | 5 string bassists that are good?
Sign in to disble this ad
I am getting my five string in the next few weeks (SR905), and I don't know many 5 stringed bassists to play their music. Any genre is fine. I only know a few 5 stringed bassists but I need more because I don't know what good covers I can play by myself or with my band. Please don't say comments like "You should make your own songs and play them, don't rely on bands to play." Or something along thsoe lines because I do create my own stuff I just need some good 5 stringed bassists.  |

When you're done, grab a copy of Joe Jackson's "Summer In The City" live record. Graham Maby plays beautifully! |

Dirk Lance from Incubus has had some cool lines on Science and on "Are You In" from Morning View. Though I dislike Phish, Mike Gordon is very talented also. Fred Hammond plays a Smith five I believe, but I don't listen to much gospel so I really don't know.
Juneau: He has also used a MTD535 in the past.

| | | | Almost goes without saying...
...but Will Lee has got some serious phat groove goin' on. If you can, pick up a copy of Delbert McClinton's Never Been Rocked Enough - about half the tracks feature Will on bass (and Paul Schaeffer on keys). The man do know how to lay it down, and doesn't overuse the B string. |

| | | | Dave Ellefson and Jason Newsted are great. My favourite would have to be Steve DiGiorgio though.
