Sign in to disble this ad
I am trying to compile a list of jazzers that play electric. These are the ones that I can think of at the moment:
1. Jimmy Haslip
2. Brian Bromberg
3. John Patitucci
4. Christian McBride
Can you guys (and gals) come up with others? It would be cool to find jazz bassists that mainly play electric  ; however, I know many of them double on acoustic.
Thanks,
Joe

almost all jazz that i have seen recently had a DB instead of a BG. i'm not a big fan of DB, i much prefer the sound of a BG. on that note, i saw a ray charles performance on the ovation channel and his bassist was using a BG,
many acts in the house of jazz ( i think that is in canada?) featured bass players with electric basses. sorry guys, i don't know the names though  |

Kai Eckhardt
Abe Laboriel
Peter Cardinali (Toronto bassist/producer)
Roy Vogt
Alain Caron
David Buda
Mike Pope (Also plays upright)
Norm Stockton
Lucas Pickford
Any others?
