Favorite movie bass player

[Darkhorse1962]

There are lots of movies with fictional bass players in them. Name your favorite

I'll start with two

T.B. Player from "That Thing You Do"


And Katie from "School Of Rock "

 

[jamro217]

Emma Stone in "The Rocker".

 

[40Hz]

Tossup between "T.B. Player" and his replacement Scott "Wolfman" Pell as played by real deal bassist Larry Antonino. They both have it down.



Honorable mention to Pia Miranda as "Tanya" in Garage Days

 

[Oddly]

 

[TBPlayerOC]

I will throw my vote to TB Player (obviously)

All of the exterior scenes for Erie PA were shot not too far from me. When they were filming I remember hearing on the radio they were looking for extras.

 

[DirtDog]

Tia Carrere in Wayne's World!

Good choice.

Mine is technically a tv show, not a movie, but I think it still counts.

This must be a mirror image. Everybody knows all Muppet guitarists are left-handed. (I'm a big fan of Floyd, too.)

 

[Greg Waldon]

Without a doubt, Duck Dunn. One of my favorite bass players of all time.

 

[mattbass6945]

Robert Cray with Otis Day in Animal House.

I came here looking for this one.

"Otis! These guys love me!"

 

[T_Bone_TL]

Tina Weymouth (Stop Making Sense, of course). Or Duck Dunn ala Blues Brothers.
