Hi Folks --
First of all, apologies if this has already been answered somewhere, but I did try to search for this info to no avail. What I'd like to find out is which bassists are represented on the most recordings. Even nicer would be a breakdown by achievements like most appearances on the top ten, etc. Nicer still would be a list for each artist.
My suspicion is that Jamerson, Dunn and Kaye will be in the top five, but I have no cites. I guess that's what I'm looking for.
Thanx in advance,
Bazzy
p.s. What I'm NOT looking for is to reopen the whole Jamerson/Kaye can of worms. nuff said. |

If I can find the issue Ill post it. Also try allmusic.com, they might ave what your looking for. |

| | | | My guess is that Chuck Rainey will be fairly high up there. Probably more than Jamerson, just because of longevity.

I've heard him on cd's by Sarah McLachlan, Peter Gabriel, Liquid Tension Experiment, Jennifer Knapp, not to mention his old band King Crimson. The man's been around and is a pretty well known "go to guy" for bass.

I think it was here that someone revealed that it was Levin on Don McClean's "American Pie"
