Sorry for being cynical, but that is really not possible. Even Geddy Lee's bass parts sound different from one song to another and especially from one album to another...
Just sayin...

Tower of Power, Yellowjackets when Jimmy Haslip was with them (the best they had at that position so far IMHO), Spyro Gyra, Fourplay, Dirty Loops, ...

I could be wrong, and haven't looked at every post, but.....

I don't think the intent of the OP was to say "Quick! Name every band you recognize simply by hearing the bass player!!!!"

I think the meme he posted is circulating the interwebz.....where 99.9999999% of people would NOT recognize a single band by the sound of the bass player.... and he posted it for a good chuckle.

Sooooooooooooo.....yeah. K..... I'm just gonna......you know.....uh.......go now.

Thanks for pointing that out. This might be the only place you could post that on the Internet where nobody gets the joke -- and not because we lack a sense of humor.

Exactly. Now that it's been pointed out to me, I can see the general public getting the joke made at the expense of us poor bass players toiling in anonymity.
