Influences

[Jonny Vengeance]

Hey guys and gals. I'm just being a lil bit nosey (lol sorry) and wondering who your main influences are.

Seeya later

For me they are numerous, but the most important ones to me:

Miles Davis
Jimi Hendrix
Cream
King Crimson
Debussy
Ravel
Stravinsky
Magma

[The_D]

For me it has to have been The Ox purely due to the killer lines he came up with. Scott Morris from the Bluetones and Mick Quinn from Supergrass were the ones who made me notice the Bass and really appreciate the sonic qualitys. In that sense I suppose they were the ones who "Inspired" Me to pick one up for myself.

In no particular order:

Tommy Shannon

Paul McCartney
Jack Bruce
Leland Sklar
Timothy B. Schmidt
Nathan East
John Paul Jones
John Entwistle

Others too numerous to mention.

This is alaways a peculiar question for me to try to answer. I could say a little of everyone but no one in particular.

I've never engrossed myself into learning any particular bassist. I have learned songs I like.

I have noticed a few players that I like what they have done. Those players would include (but not limited to) John McVie, T-Bone Wolk, Nathan East, Lee Sklar, David Hungate and many others. I can't say that emulate any of those.
