Bassists few people talk about...

[La Faro]

'Giuseppe Henry', no one ever mentions that name

 

[La Faro]

Me

Not true, we talk about you a lot. We just do it though the PM system

 

[jnewmark]

Jerry Jermott.

 

[Snaxster]

Gerald Carboy

 

[stringthrough]

Kai Eckhardt

 

[Kevin Teed]

I just scanned through, so I don't know if he's been mentioned, but I have been a fan of James Dewar. Great player and what a voice!

 

[booch29]

Joseph “lucky” Scott (Curtis mayfield)!
Krause voorman!
Lige curry of funkadelic!!!
Robin mullarkey is a badass( Jacob collier)
So many more...

 

[skyline_01]

Keith Horne IMO is one of the baddest MF on the planet

Colin Moulding (XTC) - about as melodic and you can get

Dave Taylor (Brian Adams) - rock solid, served the songs perfectly

And I know he's already been mentioned a few times, but Graham Maby is a god. Watch "Rock Goes To College" with Joe Jackson if you have any doubts.

 

[Mediocrity Man]

Pete Trewavas.

 

[Vooter]

Robby Pagliari of Ohm...just buy their first three albums and you'll be good...

 

[winterburn69]

'Giuseppe Henry', no one ever mentions that name

Haha

And yet he’s probably 3rd in terms of how much he’s about around here behind Jamerson and Jaco. All without mentioning his real name.

 

[LoTone]

Neo is the One...

 

[RickyRocknRoll]

Bruce Thomas, what a fantastic player. Does not get the credit he deserves.

 

[bassliner50]

*****Willy Weeks.*****Listen to him with Donny Hathaway

Ron Carter is one of the most recorded and esteemed players of all time on any instrument, frankly ...cool pic though.

 

[DeepThoughts]

Yep, although he is an acoustic bass icon, he shouldn’t be ignored here; while Paul Chambers work set the standard, I always enjoyed this rendition...

smh...lol

Derek Forbes. Original bassist for Simple Minds.

Never said nobody had heard of him, just that he doesn't get discussed much here. Also, check out Pylon's current bassist, Kay Stanton, she's pretty great, too.
