|  | #1 in Bass Droppings | | | | | Poll: Cliff Williams or Adam Clayton OK... let's say you are a producer and you find out that Cliff Williams and Adam Clayton are both not only available, but want to work on a meat and potatoes rock project with you producing (not playing). Who do you choose, and why?
This is obviously a spinoff from the Billy Sheehan/Dave LaRue poll.
So who would you choose? |

Clayton? Luckiest multimillionaire musician in the world IMO.
P.s. I did a corporate gig and we played Wonderful Day by U2... Easy as hell, but man what a fun bass line to play!

|  | Don't ask me why, I don't know....... Luthier: Rickett Customs | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Southern Maryland | | That would also depend on the track(s) that they're playing to....... What genre? Is it Jazz? Is it Stoner doom? Is it R&B?  |
