Tasteful Bassist

[LiquidMidnight]

Hutch definatley is a great bassist. (I was listening to Road Tested, yesterday as a matter of fact) I like how he can play spot on, but yet soulful at the same time. I like the groove he does in "Thing Called Love".

I'll echo garron and second Paul S. Denman's addition to the list. did anyone ever his the Sweetback album?

from the depths,


Stew

 

[garron]

Sweetback! Not a bad release, kind of Sade-light, but still good listening. Wish it was a bit more groove heavy, though.

 

[Woodchuck]

Alphonso Johnson
Stu Zender
Chuck Rainey
Jamerson
Sting
Robert DeLeo
Jaco - He was a VERY supportive player!
Nick Fyffe
Andrew Levy
Randy Hope-Taylor
Pino
Bernard Edwards

Denman rules!

Nathaniel Phillips of Pleasure was/is killin'- in a supportive way, of course.

Roger Waters, of Pink Floyd.

 

[Yogi Bear]

John Deacon

When you listen closely to the bass lines of Train's songs,it's hard not to recognize how tasteful,and melodic Charlie Colin is.
It's as if he went to the Paul McCartney/John Paul Jones school of bass playing.

 

[Tom Howland]

Pino Paladino
Anthony Jackson
James Jamerson
Lee Sklar
