Hey, I'm looking for some bass players that really "utilize" the 6 string bass. Sort of like how Victor Wooten uses the 4 string, but with a 6er.
Also, I'm looking for some tapping bassists somewhat along the lines of Michael Manring. Or just tell me where to find some of Jean Baudin's stuff!!
Thanks in advance... |

IMO, there isn't anyone like Manring. I don't even know of any people that imitate his playing very well.

Anthony Jackson
Oteil Burberidge
Les Claypool
Jojo Garza (Los Lonely Boys)
There was a few other, but I can't remember them off the top of my head right now.

Endorsing: Ampeg | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Apopka, FL | | | I always felt like 6-string bass playing was kind of lame until tonight. I saw Oteil Burbridge on BET Jazz jamming with his brother Kofi, Derek Trucks, Vernon Reid, Jeff Coffin, and some drummer whose name escapes me but was magnificent, and I have never heard a 6-stringer utilize chords and tight grooving basslines quite as well as Oteil. For the first time in my life, I'm actually considering getting one. Won't get one of those high priced Foderas, but I could be talked into getting a Hohner like the guy in Los Lonely Boys uses. Now I just have to do two things...find a reason for needing one (I really don't need one at all), and talk my wife into letting me take $800 of the money we were going to spend on overhauling the lawn.
I think the outcome is predictable, though. Oh well, she didn't complain when I got an upright, so I'll let her have this one. |

He is real amazing, and has a great voice. The full-time bassist for the Derek Trucks Band is also an amazing 6 string player as well, Todd Smallie.
When Derek is on the road with the Allmans, Todd, Kofi and Yonrico gig around as the Yonrico Scott Band.
... All are top notch players! |
