Not so talked about bassists...

[lowendblues]

Mars Cowling -Pat Travers

Paul Goddard - ARS

Whoever played bass for Oingo Boingo when "Dead mans party" was recorded.

 

[VroomVroom]

Lincoln Goines.

This first vid is bittersweet...RIP Bob Berg.

 

[FatCity]

Neil Murray from Whitesnake (through the 1987 album), Black Sabbath, Brian May's solo band and Gary Moore.

 

[etoncrow]

Kenny Gradney of Little Feat; he, along with Richie Hayward and Sam Clayton, are the best rhythm section in the business IMHO

[Kenner]

I'd also say the bassist from Boston. Don't know his name and am too lazy to look it up right now.

Fran Sheehan..........notice the Sheehan pattern here............

 

[Kenner]

Bob Daisley........

+1

Name is Fran Sheehan if you're referring t their 1976 self-titled debut (the one with all the hits on it).

EDIT: didn't see the post above. whoops!

 

[bobostein]

Matt Freeman-Rancid, Kim Nekroman-The Necromantix, Roger Waters-Pink Floyd, Klaus Flouride-Dead Kennedys, Al Cisneros-Sleep.

Fran Sheehan..........notice the Sheehan pattern here............

Wasn't Fran just the touring bassist with Boston?
I thought that Tom Sholz played all of those great basslines from the first Boston album.

 

[Tommygunn]

Bobby Sheehan or Tad Kinchla of Blues Traveler




If I ever could stand up and do that...boy, that'd be the day.


Also, Tom Drummond from Better than Ezra. You won't find any fancy bass solos on youtube but he's got some really cool basslines on their albums. I've always been fascinated by them.

Quite honestly I thought I was the only who liked blues trav here. My fav album of theirs is 'Four'

On with the bassists

Markus Grosskopf-Helloween

[joshmat]

jonathan maron from the GC fame ... understated, underrated and damn funky.

 

[KeithPas]

Jonas Reingold from The Flower Kings. Amazing player, I love his "jazzy" playing style.

A huge +1 on that!! Jonas is a great player with great tone playing very challenging and creative music.

 

[MOTORHEADBANGER]

I would have to say Brian Bromberg without a doubt. Listen to any of his albums. He is a true GENIUS on bass and piccolo bass.

 

[__HM__]

FLEA! =D

 

[Elmo Oxygen]

Harold Hopkins. Puya. - Worth checking out.

 

[sgbass321]

Hmmm I would say Billy Cox...he had some sweet bass lines on the later Hendrix stuff

 

[michael_atw]
