I really strive for the Colin Greenwood/Roger Waters style of bass playing. I don't want to be flashy, but I want to play exactly what the songs needs (I hate to use that cliche) without sticking to eigth notes on the root. I really admire both of those guys for coming up with great lines without overbearing the listener.

I like groove player.
Tony Levin, James Jamerson, Dunn, Will Lee, ect...
I doN't like guys who play 1000 notes for nothing.
I like a player with a great groove and will play what the song need.

If you haven't heard of them, they're like the Pink Floyd of the present.

|  | Obsessed with Overdrive | | Join Date: Sep 2000 Location: Ventura, CA | | | I admire any player who plays appropriately for the situation. If he's a groove player, play a great groove. If you're gonna do the solo thing, play something interesting and well written or go back and be a groove player again because you probably aren't a very good solo player.
