Roger Waters.

Yes, Jack Casady no doubt for classic psychedelic rock.

Otherwise the female bass player Paz Lenchantin that among others are known for having played for A Perfect Circle and is currently replacing Kim Deal in Pixies and who is also the bass player of the psychedelic rock band Entrance, doing an absolute killer job at that:


Here she is doing a solo cover of the Velvet Underground classic Venus in Furs, using loops (she plays violin as well):

It just came into my head lol

Mine is Jack Casady from Jefferson airplane

Jack is the Psychedelic equivalent version of Larry Graham and slap.

IMHO, when ever I saw them, Jack seemed to be the musical director or at least would nod to the band when leading into intros, and bridges and outros. Loved him with Jefferson but I can't for the life of me know why Hot Tuna never did it for me. Maybe I'm not that big of a fan of blues.
Or I just missed his excellent playing on the first three Jefferson Airplane albums.

Chris Squire

I'm into Tim Bogert right now. I'm not sure I know exactly where heavy blues ends and psychedelic begins, but his lines are busy and trippy and heavy. I'm listening to some Cactus too.

Phil Lesh
Mike Gordon
Dave Schools

Paul in Lucy in the sky with diamonds

 

[The Owl]

Lee Dorman of Iron Butterfly

Lee definite had a great lead bass style for sure.

Particularly in his Om stuff, I think there's an argument to be made that Al Cisneros is in the "psychedelic" category.

Phil Lesh for sure. Reed Mathis is a personal favorite, and he certainly gets psychedelic.

Damn. I bought this record as a kid. The bass player is Bruce Barthol.

Speaking of memories...
1969 I saw Jefferson Airplane. The very start of the show Casady came out and played solo for a couple of minutes. Blew my 14 year old mind. I had not seen anybody lay down the bass like that, in front of thousands. What a great player.
