The Band: Rick Danko
The Beatles: Paul McCartney
The Who: John Entwistle
Jefferson Airplane: Jack Casady
Cream: Jack Bruce
Most things on the Motown label: James Jamerson
Booker T and the MGs: Duck Dunn (I think? anyway, Dunn was/is good)
Aretha Franklin: Chuck Rainey, Jerry Jemmott

What a great list. All these guys are either deceased or doing different things now, of course. Jack Casady is my favorite here. He still plays with Jorma Kaukonen, the Airplane's lead guitarist, in a band called "Hot Tuna." Check 'em out.

Jerry Scheff - Elvis Presley, not too sure if he was primarily 60's or 70's era with him, but either way, he's worth checking out.

As for McCartney, he could write some really nifty love tunes, but is his playing really that incredible? Did he change the way people played bass?
p.s.- don't forget Gezzer Butler, o.k., sabbath isn't really a sixties band, but still.

Endorsing artist: Gallien Krueger | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: nashville tn | | | well lets see woodstock was 69. Would that be Noel Redding or billy Cox? either way I really like Billy Cox a ton I think he's great
and definitley all the jamerson, Rainey, and Jemmott you can absorb. Also Paul McCartney is a good one and I'm a sucker for Geezer Butler's playing although I don't know if that was the 60's. Also Take a listen to Paul Jones/Bonham. I always see them as a package the real zeppelin. especially "good times bad times" Also was sly and the family stone in the 60's? how about flock of seagulls?

| | | | The rollingstones then it was it keith who played bass and then i heard that Brian Wilson was a great bassist.
In all regular papers they only talk about the lead guitarrist and never about the bass player. I mean is not the bass player and the drummer who reallay makes the songs beat??
You hear great things about clapton Hendrix jimmy page but you dont hear anything write about they Entwistle(the who) or even Mccartney as a bassplayer(i thought he played guitarr) | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
