On the metal side: Geezer Butler (Heaven and Hell, 1980 and Mob Rules, 1981) Steve Harris The shredders: Stu Hamm Randy Coven Eric Johnson's sidemen: Roscoe Beck Kyle Brock

Good catch. Fran was brought in so Boston could tour. But we need not say "too bad." Great lines, wherever they came from. And since Tom wasn't a bassist first, that makes it even more surprising (in keeping with the theme of this thread)

Both of Eric Johnson's early bassists, Roscoe Beck and Kyle Brock, are masters worthy of mention. And while it may be fashionable to bash Boston these days, there's no denying Fran Sheehan laid down some wicked good lines on the first couple albums. Too bad they were buried a little too deep...

John Paul Jones! So easy to be overshadowed by Plant, Page and Bonzo, but I daresay any of them could have been replaced easier than JPJ--his bass lines are the foundation upon which Zep is built. Paul Goddard - Atlanta Rhythm Section. A master with a Rickenbacker! Tiran Porter - Doobie...

I fell in love with a Squier VMJ--couldn't believe the action and beautiful tone for just $279 new. The only reason I didn't buy it was I came across an almost new, apparently unused G&L for only $325 and, knowing I could only get one bass, opted for the one with more tonal options. But that...

Tribute, blueburst. Picked it up used (ebay) for a mere $325. Serial number indicates it's only a year old so I believe the seller when he says he's had it all of 5 months. I receive the thin UPS, whip it out of the gig bag and can't even tell it's been used--truly like new. Plug it...

Heard Geddy on Permanent Waves (Spirit of Radio and Freewill) and Geezer on Heaven and Hell (Title Cut and Wishing Well). then I dug out my old Who records and Entwistle completely sealed the deal.

. . . and my number is ???

, but I'm hoping this'll get me in::hyper: I like a wide variety of music, but as just a hacker, wasn't about to invest in a wide variety of basses, so the sonic variety offered by this little baby just hit the spot. A very slightly and gently used 2010 Tribute L2000. I'm looking...

Hey all, Just got a new bass yesterday. The last time I had a bass was in 198X where some guys and I had a rather run-of-the-mill garage band. Life, work, family, other hobbies took over and now, nearly 30 years later, life has finally settled down and income risen to the point I can...
