Solo Bass Albums?

[steinny]

Other than Manring, Lawson, and Squarepusher (yes he does have a solo bass album), what are some good examples of solo bass albums?

(By "solo bass" I mean entire albums where the only instrumentation is bass.)

Recommendations?

 

[Pedulla?]

Victor Wooten- A Show of Hands

 

[J. Crawford]

Victor Wooten - Palmystery

Tal Wilkenfeld - Transformation

SMV - Thunder

 

[Danny Fox]

I think the only album of purely solo bass is "Soliloquy" by Manring, and what an album it is! Michaels a true inspiration! I'm in the process of recording one myself, however it will utilise a loop station so much bassness awaits!

Carbonne-DiPiazza-Manring. Yves Carbonne;8 string fretless sub-bass guitar, 6 string contrabass guitar. Dominique DiPiazza;5 string (with high C) bass guitar. Michael Manring;4 string fretless. Overwhelming amounts of technique and creativity.

Dave Holland - One's All

Gary Willis - Actual Fiction

Edgar Meyer - Bach Cello Suites

This is INDEED an amazing display of an all-bass album.

I enjoy Manring's CDs when it comes to solo bass. Wooten playing is great, but it's not my favorite flavor, and much of it isn't solo bass.

That's definately one i'm gonna get my hands on. I've seen some live stuff, need to hear the rest. Michaels album with Cyril Achard "A Place in Time" is a must for any bass player too i feel.

Nice stuff, Danny! I'm in the same boat; got the tracks all done, just waiting to have time this month to sit down with my recording engineer friend and try to master it down.

Dave Holland - One's All

Love that album; I need to listen to it more. Some others from my collection, based upon the OPs qualification of "Solo Album":

Jeff Schmidt - Outre
Jonas Hellborg - Elegant Punk
Joseph Patrick Moore - Alone Together

this album's crazy beautiful, lots of great bowing thrown in too. I usually don't like whole albums of solo bass but this one is one of my favorites...
