Favorite dancing bassist?

[Joebone]

This! All kinds of YouTube examples of what happens when the Spirit moves this superlative bassist!

 

[smarthound]

Andy McCluskey from Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. He pretty much invented Dad Dancing.

How have we not gotten to Verdine White? (Supply your own videos)

Found this guy randomly on IG and love his stuff. Not the craziest dancer, but man he is groovy. Fernando Rosa:

[SulzerType2]

This guy...

The real reason John Fogerty fell out with the other guys in Credence. Not sold in the guy they replaced him with.

Jermaine…come on now…he invented it!

Actually he doesn't seem to move around much at all. To be fair, there's not much room for dancing when you play an elevator gig...



Oh, wait... Did you mean the other Jermaine?

 

[Pedullist]

Little Feat's Kenny Gradney dancing is very understated, but so cool.

 

[Rib 13]

Fran Sheehan should always be in a dancing bassist thread

 

[Spectre Gunner]

Danny Devito has some nice moves in that video too.

 

[Spectre Gunner]

John Entwistle let his thunderfingers do all the dancing.

 

[Bass4Brkfast]

You know it...

 

[Bunk McNulty]

Somewhere there is video of @BassCliff dancing...

 

[booch29]

Jaco, of course...

Oh and Bill Wyman too...

 

[Danny O Danny]

Chris Wood of The Wood Brothers...

 

[sonojono]

Every bassist from the Disco era

As much as I love Verdine’s bass playing, I find him difficult to watch on stage. OTT.

This guy...

Reminds me of Future Islands. Very cool band. Surprisingly different. Top comment is “Future Islands answers the question ‘What if New Order was fronted by On the Waterfront era Brando.” Love it.
