Which bassist are you

With which great bass player do you most identify with?

This is pretty stupid and I don't see what my operating system has to do with anything. But it says I identify with James Jamerson. Woo hoo.

I got James, but the caption thing says "Motown bassist who brought slapping to bass playing. Berry Gordy insisted on Jamerson being on almost every Motown recording."

...Jamerson never slapped.

Jaco Pastorius

Early career backing the Temptations and Supremes. Moved on to work with Pat Metheny and Weather Report. Probably the best technician ever to play the bass.

I feel I'm a great bassist and all but the only way Nino & Jaco could be in the same breath it:

"Hey Nino & Jaco both play Jazz basses"

MIngus.


Mmm...Yeah. I'm pretty okay with that.I was actually kind of hoping for one of my original bass heroes like Jaco or Stanley. But then, I don't have the chops I had in the '90's anymore. And Mingus was way cool. Very deep and intuitive at times, very precise at others. Yeah I'm okay with that.
