Hey guys, New to the forum here. New to the bass all together haha. Anyways, a quick question you guys can hopefully help me out with:

Has Steve Bailey and Les Claypool ever played together??
And If they have, does anybody have a recording(s) of it???
Thanks guys, hope to learn a lot here.

No they haven't. At least not that's been recorded and available for purchase or download.

I've never heard of them doing anything together before and thus I'm 99.9% sure they haven't.

though it would kick a*s, really it would.

I remember seeing them together, along with Vic Wooten, on an advert for ADA preamps in BP years back. Don't think they've ever recorded together though.

I dunno about that. It usually takes a pretty good combination of bassists to make the dual or triple bass thing work. And we're not just talking chops either. I didn't think the Manring/Carbonne/Di Piazza thing was that great because the tunes simply didn't blow me away. Steve Bailey is definitely capable (Bass Extremes, anyone?) but I'm not sure about Les.

Thanks guys for the help! It would really be interesting to hear the result of those two playing together, for better or for worse. Maybe one of these days....Im excited to learn under Bailey. Im excited to learn here too!
