Jack Bruce, Geezer Butler, Tim Bogert, Greg Ridley, Rick Danko etc?
I feel so out of step with recent bass playing trends, I'd love to latch onto a band with a freewheeling, forecful, ferociously creative yet song oriented and teamplaying bassist like this. You know the type I mean, they're all over classic rock. They always keep the relentless groove going, and it's aggressive, sensual and exciting. A guy like Andy Hess is a good example, any more?

I guess nobody else can think of any either.

Where are the melodic, adventurous players who lock in tight and compliment the band environment WITHOUT being soloists?

He's an exceptional bass player IMO. I watched some Macy Gray stuff on youtube, but it wasn't the same. |

It's funny that the closest to "new" most people can think of are from bands that no longer exist! That goes for me, too... well, except for Andy Hess.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Dublin, Ireland | | | Jacques Lu Cont of Les Rythmes Digitales and Zoot Women is a great bass player whenever he plays the damn thing! Saw him on channel 4 one night doing some great disco slap bass. His music sounds like sampled DJ stuff on the recordings but he plays all the instruments ...check out his bassline to 'music makes you lose control'. He played a DJ gig for mates of mine in a club they run in Dublin a while back, apparently his real name is Stuart and he's from Reading! |

When did the guys I mentioned play disco slap bass? Guy who mentioned Witchcraft is right on the money. I haven't even thought about those guys for about a year, thanks for the reminder! Great Geezer/John Symon Asher Bruce influenced heavy grooving.

I guess I'll have to make do with my old Cream, Fudge and Sabbath records as well as just Gov't Mule and Witchcraft for newer stuff. There are worse fates than that.
