...which would it be? There's alot of bands that I admire, but very few that I could think I could actually be happy in. If you could replace the bassist in a band, which band would it be? And I'm not just talking replacing, but also contributing the the band process as well.
I think I could be happy playing bass for:
David Bowie
the current King Crimson line up (I'd have to do alot of practicing)
SleepyTime Gorilla Museum
Soundgarden
I think that's about it. I listen to TONS of bands, but those are the only that I can honestly say I could probably work with. You? |

What do you mean by famous? I would like to join the Jam and mayhaps help push for a few more skankable hits.
Aside from that (which isn't really much of a choice, because I doubt I could stand being with Paul Weller for too long) all the bands I really really like have bassists that I respect greatly and I don't want, nor feel that I could, replace them.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: Northern CA | | I used to want to be in Phish or Widespread Panic - I would fantasize that Mike Gordon or Dave Schools got sick and I was able to fill in! 
I wouldn't have minded playing for Govt. Mule during the Deep End stuff...
My most recent fantasy was to play for Acid Mothers Gong - members of Acid Mothers Temple and Gong that played here in Japan recently.
But my fingers are so out of shape they would probably blister and fall off!!!  |

Just kidding, Geddy. I don't want to invoke thy wrath. |

Nice list you have there, but those three are among my all time favs.
I have preformed with Eric Johnson a couple of times and he is KILLIN! (and a heck of a nice guy)
Metheny or Gabriel would also be at the top of my list......
(and of course if Sting could not play bass for the Police reunion, I would certainly volunteer my life!
