Stanley Banks

This guy played on a bunch of George Benson stuff. I just love his tone on This Masquerade and Breezin', among others. Anybody know what bass he plays and strings he uses. I have done a little looking around the net and see him play J bass alot.

While Stanley Banks was indeed a member of Benson's band and is credited on the Breezin' album, I'm 99.9% certain that the bass on the title track "Breezin' " was played by Phil Upchurch.

Breezin' was Upchurch.

"Six To Four"...a very cool tune...Upchurch, also.

Check out "Full Compass" from Bad Benson. Upchurch on EB...another cool tune that serves as a bass etude.

Both written by Upchurch.
