Daft Punk "Get Lucky" Bassist?

[SamJ]

So with Nile Rodgers being on the guitar in "Get Lucky" I'm curious who was on bass... Allmusic shows quite a few bassists for Daft Punk, but one listed in Nathan East, which would make sense playing wth Nile.. anyone know whos' credited for that track?

the two dudes in the space helmets play drums and bass on the video; it's not them?

no clue if they're stage actors or the actual musicians... either way, who are they? And allmusic does show Nathan East credited on that album (along with a half dozen other bassists).

I was pretty certain it was Nathan East on every track but i wasn't in the studio.

The dudes in the helmets and suits are Daft Punk.

"Get Lucky" was def played by Nathan East.
There are even a few interview clips on YT, where he talks about recording that song.
Wonder how he got that tone - just grrrreat!

Yes, it was Nathan East. There are interviews and reviews with him all over these days.

James Genus played bass on 7 tracks.

Watching the music video, the dude in the helmet clearly has no idea how to play bass.

So it's definitely not Nathan East wearing the helmet.

OT, but the very definition of "s**t-eating grin" is nile R's smile in that video ""

+1 to Mr. Nathan East, for sure. And this is my *bass-centric* mash-up homage to Daft Punk from their "Discovery" era

Although you're correct in this case that it was Nathan East (and John Robinson on drums), Wikipedia confirming something is a funny statement.

I should know, my dad used to sell wikipedias door to door.

Thomas (silver, tall) plays bass on most of their older material.

Nathan "The Man" East!

Wasn't Omar Hakim the drummer on "Get Lucky"?
