[Frank Tuesday]

Typical band: The sum is greater than the parts.

Buckethead,Jonas Hellborg and Tim Alexander because the sheer awesomeness alone might make my head explode

I have to imagine that you're a big fan of the album Octave of the Holy Innocents.

I have to imagine that you're a big fan of the album Octave of the Holy Innocents.

I most certainly am.

Okay then--
Beck, Page, Jones, Moon & Hopkins.

I learned long ago that putting together an A List of players doesn't always yield A-level music, but for the sake of argument I'll toss this out:

Simon Phillips - drums
Jimmy Johnson - bass
Guthrie Govan - guitar
Chick Corea - keyboards
David Sanborn - alto sax
Lennie Pickett - tenor sax
Bruce Fowler - trombone
Cuong Vu - trumpet

I contend that those guys could play anything you threw at them.
Whether they could actually play it with any chemistry remains to be seen.

Early 70s Yes works for me: Anderson/Squire/Howe/Wakeman/Bruford.

I'd mix it up and have Ian Anderson. Or maybe Gillian Anderson.

 

[RaggaDruida]

Another idea... Let's start with the S.M.V. supergroup and add some other musicians to make the supreme bass supergroup...

So we have
-Stanley Clarke
-Marcus Miller
-Victor Wooten
I'd add
-Tal Wilkenfeld
-Federico Malaman
-Wojtek Pilichowski

 

[MasonMinor]

John Entwistle from 1970 on bass, Rick Wakeman on the keys, Tom Scholz from Boston on rhythm guitar, Ronnie James Dio on vocals, and Randy Rhoads on lead.

Anderson
