Which Star Wars Characters Would play bass?

Great Thread!!

Yoda would be the ultimate jazz fusion bass player. The ability to sit for hours (films), keeping things ticking over, displaying wisdom, great judgement and keeping it in the pocket! However, when he is challenged in song 5 he is able to produce enough fireworks to blow everyone else away!!

:bassist:

Yes, I am unashamedly a star wars fan. To prove it check out this funky recording of my band playing our version of the imperial march theme! Proof that Darth Vader was indeed a funky mofo!!

Go here and click on imperial funk

Let me know what y'all think!
 
I actually play bass in a mates interglactic chug-funk band called "rebel scum", yes, we use star wars samples! Geekz!

i could easily see Boba Fett keeping it tight...all silent power...:D

Im sure tho there are no basses in star wars...they all play odd clarinet-looking pipes with tubes coming out. eg. Cantina scene, and in jabba's palace lol
 
Wedge is a nice call.

Re: Maul etc, man, you can't have a bass player from the Dark Side, not in my band at least...


If I was hiring, I'd want a Jedi of course. If I couldn't afford a Jedi, I'd hire...

who's the guy who rides w/lando when he's piloting the falcon at the end of empire? He looks to me like he could lay it down....
 
when I really thought talk bass wasnt full of bass geeks i now know i was wrong could it get any geekier

for the record i used to really love star wars
Chewie-drummer-hairy i rest my case
Luke-vocals-whiny its always gotta be bout him
Han-Lead-he has it all for a guitarist

i think bass is the hardest to decide
 
With those huge hands, think of how Chewie could play a G on the third fret while playing the octave on the 10th fret of the A string. Power chord!

The stormtroopers would be great for roadies and security. "Yes, my lord. I will transport and arrange your 8x10's."
