Psychedelic Bassists Tribute

[page]

Im a fan of psychedelia and there are some bassists that extend to the low into new realms of trippyness........so now lets give em some props.

Jack Casady comes to mind, amazing fuzz bass.

Bogert from Vanilla fudge, raga basslines

Jack Bruce, what can be said of the man, genius

Fellow from Traffic............im drawin blanks here, help me out brothers and sisters!

 

[Matt Till]

I still think Apostrophe by Zappa (with Jack Bruce) is one of the coolest jams ever!

 

[Petary791]

I always thought Les Claypool in "On The Tweak Again" was pretty trippy...

 

[jazzblade]

Traffic:
Rick Grech bass on till like 72 then David Hood on bass

Lets not forget Phil Lesh from the dead he tripped sum and what a sound from the WALL!

 

[James Hart]

Roger Waters!

 

[iamthebassman]

Does McCartney count? Rain, Tomorrow Never Knows, It's All Too Much to name a few.

The late Motoharu Yoshizawa. Granted, he played DB and EUB (often through heavy effects) but he was great in a really-out-there way.

 

[Muzique Fann]

somebody already mentioned Roger Waters and Phil Lesh...so I'll add Mike Gordon.

Of course...........Blue Cheer kicks ass, I remember reading a quote that said : "Blue Cheer Melted all of the soul outta their music with pure psychedelic destruction. "

Fred Smith (Television)
David Gilmour (Syd Barrett's solo albums)
Chris Squire (Yes)
John Entwistle
Pete Quaife (Kinks)
That guy from the Beatles

These guys were all psychedelic wizards

The people who mention Phish and the Dead, you're joking right?

Of course, the Dead never played a psychedelic song in their life.

 

[Muzique Fann]

Hey Futurebass,
I bet Phil was taking LSD (among other things) before you were even born. You're also the first person I've ever heard say that Phish isn't Psychedelic. This isn't a personal attack on you, I'm just shocked.

This thread is making me hungry -
who's got my mushroom chocolates?

Never went to deep into psychedelia, but I dig Jack Casady's lines and tone. Steve Winwood from Traffic count?
