|  | Registered User | | | | | Creativity for a bass player in Nashville is fairly hard to come by but in most of that stuff you'll find one place in the song where the bass player will sign the picture and typically it's a verry, verry cool riff.
Search up the discography of:
Michael Rhodes
Glenn Worf
Kevin Grantt
There's enough there to keep you amazed for quite a while. |

Timothy B. Schmidt from Eagles and Poco isn't a bad start, either.

Of course Vic with Bela
Something very Celtic going on there. |

I know it's Western swing but David Miller who is the current bassist of Asleep At The Wheel is very good. He'll sometimes double the fiddle melody for a few seconds to great effect.

Glenn Worf does seem to play on a lot of the New Ciountry hits.
BTW, you may find it's best to NOT get too, too 'creative' when playing New Country bass parts.
Been there, done that.

I got the chance to see him and his son (also a bassist) perform a duet version of 'Boris the Spyder' in memoriam to The OX, during an SWR party summer NAMM-N'ville in 2002. |
