"_______ doesn't get enough love around here!"

[StayLow]

Sharay Reed




Joe Lester of Intronaut




+1 Pete Trewavas of Marillion and Transatlantic





And a big +1 to Dominic 'Forest' Lapointe for this amazing left-handed fretless 6-string wizardry!




He's now leading Teramobil.

 

[Rev J]

Any of Frank Zappa or Steve Vais bassists.

And even though he isn't a bassist per se if Tosin Abasi from Animals As Leaders rips any more stuff off bassists then I'm going to start ripping him off.

C/S,
Rev J

 

[Mantis Tobaggan]

Carlos Dengler

 

[A. D. Fairhurst]

Mike Dirnt. Impeccable tone and line-writing skill. Give the man a G3 (or an active P/J bass for the Dookie songs) and be blown away.

 

[Az_Rocker76]

Leon Wilkeson!!! He played just what Skynyrd needed and can still be heard though 3 guitars and a piano. I think some of his best work was on the song that smell. Its not too flashy but he has said he didn't want to be!

 

[StayLow]

Jack Donovan of Elder. So fun to watch when he's rockin'.

 

[Bassa Nova]

John Klingberg-Van Morrison-Moondance

Nick Movshon-The Arcs, Menahan Street Band, Amt Winehouse, others

 

[Opdelibears]

Martin Mendez and Johan deFarfalla of Opeth...but probably because they play metal

Also, Paul D'amour and Scott Reedus, for the same reason as the above.

Just bought a new truck. Amazing what a decent stereo brings out. Playing my antique music and suddenly am quite enthralled by Martin Turner of Wishbone Ash.

The (latter day) Byrds... The New Riders Of The Purple Sage...The Flying Burito Brothers...
He certainly made a BIG impression on me!
Skip Battin shaped country rock music...taking and stretching the bass lines that Merle and George and Ferlin had counted on for the decade before The Eagles made their debut.
I guess I heard him at JUST the right time...

 

[bearhart74]

Just from Santana..
Benny Rietveld
Myron Dove
David Margen.

Other...
Armand Sabal-Lecco
Tom Hamilton
Tom Barney
Oscar Cartaya
Lincoln Goines

 

[Barking Spiders]

Seconding Armand Sabal -Lecco, Nathan Watts and Neil Jason. Also
Deon Estus - for his stuff with Wham
Joe Dworniak - mostly 80s session work in the UK
Brad Lang -ABC's Lexicon of Love
Michael Dempsey - The Cure's original bassist but it's his playing on Sulk by The Associates that does it for me



please excuse the appearance of Jimmy Savile on this clip

 

[Bob_Ross]

Oh yeah, I've really been digging everything I hear from Ric, but especially his trio work with George Whitty!

 

[Tomasz s]

Paul ryder from the happy mondays-amazing player
Edit: mark day was a hell of a g***** player too

 

[the harp unstrung]

'g*****'.......'groovy'?
