Please Help ID this bass player from 86/87

[Obese Chess]

Not Rodney O'Quinn - Foghat split up in '84.

Hmmmmm!

 

[chriscarcinogen]

Wow, getting a lot closer in terms of looks:

Wears the bass at the same height too.

A big step closer, maybe even a winner?

I like this early Spectors with the funky pickup shape.

 

[semiprohooker]

Actually... I think I know the sound guy on the Peavey (I think) console. The years and shape match up, gotta send message and see what he says.

Are you sure it isn't Timothy Treadwell ?

Is he sure he is Timothy Treadwell?

In Chrome, right click on the image and click on "Search image with Google" - brings it up in Google Lens, which does a surprisingly great job of finding info on pictures.

(Disclaimer - I work for Google, but not on anything closely associated to Lens. Or Chrome)

The switch from Google's reverse image search to Google Lens, was that just a marketing thing? Any time i try a reverse image search with Lens, 99.9% of the results are just shopping links. I'm trying to find another source for this image, i don't want to buy socks like the person in the image is wearing!

Todd Harrell, Three Doors Down?

 

[Gluvhand]

Todd Harrell, Three Doors Down?

I don't know what he did before 3 Doors Down but they started in '96 and I'm thinking it's not him anyway. Just my 2.

 

[Bruiser Stone]

Probably not, but for the sake of brainstorming, Jan Zukowski from The Nighthawks?

 

[Bruiser Stone]

Then again, I don’t think the cheeks/mouth line up with Jan’s from what I see in his pics.

 

[Diplock]

It's not Scott Smith. I knew him and he looked nothing like that.
In '86 Scott would not have had a mic on stage.
Loverboy didn't play El Paso in '86 and didn't tour in '87.
It was rare to see Scotty with anything other than his main Spector or the backup one. He had other basses and occasionally played them on stage but if he had a white ESP I never saw or heard about it.

Yeah, Lens sux.

Gonna have to ask the bear.

 

[Bar Band Bassman]

I thought of Jan Zukowski as well. A known ESP player. Couldn't locate a good pic of him as a young man, though.

The Bar Band Bassman

 

[Killing Floor]

I’m going to play until long after it’s solved.

Rick Willis?

 

[Killing Floor]

Richard Page, Mr. Mister.
And he’s a singer too.

 

[jerry]

Andy Sheldon from the Samples maybe.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Beach Boys were the '86 homecoming show headliners. Level 42 had a 1987 show in El Paso, but I don't think that's Mark King. Other than that, I can't find anything else.

 

[Bob_Ross]

Super-longshot guess here, but could that be Tim Archibald?

I work for Google

Still?!?!?!

 

[buldog5151bass]

He looks like a guy in his mid/late 40s trying very hard not to look like a guy in his mid/late 40s.
