Pbass Players Post-2000?

[N4860]

Hard to go wrong with any Medeski, Martin & Wood since you mentioned jazz:

 

[Paul New]

Sam Wilkes with Knower.

 

[Paul New]

Everything Joe Bonamassa recorded with the late Michael Rhodes on bass.

 

[PeaveyPlayer]

The guy from all American rejects
Pete wentz?
Michael leauge
That girl with the funny bass faces

 

[Eon Sky]

If you want to take it to other genre extremes, the bass player of Loathe plays a precision bass.

Just to name a few: Colin Greenwood from Radiohead; Scott Shriner from Weezer; Eric Avery from Jane's Addiction; Ben Shepherd from Soundgarden.

in short: which songs don't have p bass‽

 

[SJan3]

Although Tal Wilkenfeld is know for playing her Sadowsky, she has of late favored the P bass with the Allman Bros, Govt Mule, John Scofield and others in addition to her own concerts.

How about Guy Berryman of Coldplay? He's predominantly a P bass player, isn't he?

 

[atquinn]

Sam Wilkes with Knower.

Yes! He's incredible.

I appreciate the effort, but i asked for specific artists and specific songs.

I mean when I pay to see touring bands 95% of the time they are playing p basses. Within the last two months I saw screeching weasel, descendents, adicts, interruptors, swinging udders, rodeo boys, 7 seconds, Laura Jane grace, Alex lahey play on stage with p basses. More than those, probably. In that time, other than precision basses, I have seen 1 rick and two j basses on stage being used by a touring band. Local bar bands, and church bassists here use all kinds of different stuff though

I think most out there have played a PBass at least once. I have 3 straight Pbass's. 2 I have kept stock. One was turned into a PJ but was born a Precision. Theres just something about them that just feels like home. Don't tell the others.

in short: which songs don't have p bass‽

Indeed, that's a P!
Good call!

Love the Gomez link. I think of them as 90s, but two of my favourite albums of theirs, In Our Gun and How We Operate, are definitely 2000s. Ping One Down from the former has a lovely bassline.

My offering is the Headsticks. I don't know much about tone, or basses for that matter. However, from squinting at youtube videos in the past, my best guess is that the bassist plays a P-bass. And they have great lines that really drive the song. So between those two "facts", maybe they count. Here's one with a bassline I enjoy:

Girls, 2011, My Ma.

Chet "JR" White on his CV P bass. Exactly what the song needed.

 

[Timmah]

Post-2000?
Pino (and later Sean Hurley) with John Mayer. Check out the live album "Try!"

Michael League of Snarky Puppy uses one frequently when he's not on synth bass- check out Linus for a start, but there's a great recording on YouTube of him playing Continuum with Cory Henry that showcases his 70s P and his playing beautifully.

For something a little more rock n roll Dan Adriano (most notably of Alkaline Trio) picks the hell out of a P bass and an old Marshall guitar amp on the second Damned Things album

And for something heavier still, Nick Jost of Baroness plays a P bass all over the album "Purple" from 2017, albeit with a load of distortion and fuzz.

Jazz-adjacent guys like Nick Campbell, Tim Lefebvre, and more depend on them.

Basically any rock festival you go watch will be P-bass dominant as well.

 

[shirojiro]

Este Haim of bass face fame plays a Pbass

 

[OnlyFlats]

Nate from Converge is on a P
Jane Doe and You Fail Me albums fit the brief.
I love the next 2 albums too

 

[eeyorebass]

Jimbo Hart with Jason Isbell. Great P-bass tone.

How about a heaping helping of Rob Trujillo?
