Which bass player wore bass highest

Billy Sheehan plays his bass high

 

The great Paul Denman.

 

Yes, Paul S Denman is 'up there'. Also, Mark King has to get an honourable mention, although I think he plays a lot lower these days.

 

Eric Wood of Man Is The Bastard/ Bastard Noise played on the high side. Let’s you access the upper register.

 

This is the highest I've ever seen Robert Trujillo wear his:

 

Fieldy Too...

 

Paul Webb of Talk Talk sprang to mind. Like a neck tie...

 

Bill Wyman

 

Keith Horne played his pretty high...

 

Danny Partridge

 

Outstanding thread

EDIT: i got nothing

 

Recently, not so low...

 

Everything hangs lower as we age

 

Among modern players, Brian Krahe of Krosis (who are a band making serious waves in modern metal circles) wears his bass fairly high: Brian Krahe (Krosis): "Begonia" playthrough on the LTD Deluxe B-1005

Chris Chew (North Mississippi All Stars) wears it quite high: https://media.gettyimages.com/photo...in-support-of-picture-id524341174?s=2048x2048

And while this may not be considered "wearing it high," Ryan Martinie (Mudvayne, Soften the Glare) wears his bass higher than most of his contemporaries in nu-metal circles did:

 

Damn!!!

 

Gerry’s guy, Les Chadwick, had his way up there…

…but that seemed to be the thing at the time. As guitar and bass became more of a phallic symbol, the slinging got lower.
Then there was The Peddlers’ bassist, does this count?

 

I like to be able to lick the strings. I get a nice faux bowing sound out of it.

 

Hooky is always quite low-slung.

 

Not Ben Shepherd
