A bass player you would like to meet?

Sign in to disble this ad
Is there a bass player you would like to meet? They can be living or dead? Also, What would you say to them? Do you want to jam with them or get their autograph?

I am just curious. I wish i could have met Cliff Burton And Jaco. As for living guys i would love to meet John Pattitucci, Victor Wooten, Flea and Justin Chancellor. I woulld ask them for their autographs too But not jam with them.

The only two I would really, really care to meet are John Entwistle (who coincidentally died on one of my birthdays), and Justin Chancellor.

I would tell Entwistle he plays like Jesus, and I would tell Chancellor he looks like Jesus.
He is also a damn fine player.

You are right it is upsidedown. I never noticed that until you pointed it out.

i would definately want to meet and have dual bass jam with senator John Kerry and his old band The Electras, just for kicks and autographs. (btw, i'm not a kerry or bush or anyone supporter, so dont bring in politics). imagine how cool it'd be to come home with that experience (and perhaps even a pre-CBS precision, taking into account that Kerry doesnt really play anymore and might still have his axe.

No doubt it would be Tetsu from L'arc~en~Ciel.

As for others I would really like to meet and hang out with...

Toshiya (Dir en Grey)
Marcus Miller
Victor Wooten
Robert Sledge

And a bunch of others that I can't really think of at the moment.

My number once choice in this case would be Jonas Hellborg, no questions. Not only is his playing amazing, but his whole being seems so spiritual and awake. Just read interviews that he has given-they certainly provoke the thoughts! So I'd like to jam with him and hang out, talking music and life.

I would also like to meet Stuart Hamm and Mark King for an 80's slap masterclass.

Just Chancellor. Would be cool to hang about and have a smoke and chat about how Chelsea are the scum of the earth and that wal's are for ponsy wankers! bah! my jealousy tarnishes my soul!

Timmy C just to be seriously intimated by one of my all-time heroes and he seems like a really funny guy who adores his work.

Flea beacause he made me start the bass all those years ago, I'd spend a while being boring and asking him what it was like making the best album of all-time BSSM and all the stories from the house

John Entwistle

I agree with 905. John Entwistle would be my choice. And I would like to have told him how much his playing has influenced mine.

John Paul Jones hands down...I would mainly just sit down and talk with him, ask him for advice and such.

I'd want to party with John Entwistle, just talk and play with Tony Levin, and sit in awe of Charles Mingus.
