Donald "Duck" Dunn James Jamerson Bernard Edwards Carol Kaye Jaco Pastorius Bootsy Collins Marcus Miller Meshell Ndegéocello Michael Henderson Paul McCartney Will Lee Francis "Rocco" Prestia Ron Carter John Paul Jones Jimmy Garrison Paul Chambers Paul Jackson Verdine White Billy Cox Prince TheCloud9Mission (Lewis)... TRON, if you want to get into Pastorius, try out his self-titled debut solo album from 1976. Or the Weather Report album titled Heavy Weather. He also played on a Joni Mitchell album that I can't remember the name of right now. Also did some work with Pat Metheny - I've never heard it though and has live albums too. His debut album was remastered a couple of years ago with new liners by Metheny. Cut me... [This message was edited Tue Oct 1 10:49:45 PDT 2002 by Supernova] This post not for the wimp contingent.

Yeah, or Voices Inside My Head, or Driven To Tears, etc...he was more interesting as a bass player with the Police than solo. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Bootsy. The best bass player in the world, no doubt. | |

You should check out Interstate 76 soundtrack (supa funky a total throwback vibe to the 70's), also he used to be in the funk/punk group Fungo Mungo. I agree with alot of the choices so I wanted to add on to what was already listed. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

Fave bass players?
Y'all forgot Bernard Odum, Charles Sherrell & Sam Thomas (These played bass on many of James Brown's classic '60s tracks! Without whom ...) Prince Aston 'Family Man' Barrett (Wailers bassman) Bootseh Larry Graham (sorry, but he was there early on and he's a good player, which is all I care about.) Billy Cox James Jamerson Charles Mingus Paul Chambers Michael Henderson These should do for now. | |

Most siginifcant electric bass players
Monk Montgomery (Lionel Hampton - first pioneer) James Jamerson (almost every MOTOWN track in house band up to '71) John Entwistle (WHO - developed a unique style for rock) BOOTSY ( pioneered elongated beats and worked effects like the MUTRON Jack Bruce (CREAM applied a jazz style) Larry Graham ( thmuped pluck and popped the strings with Sly and GCS) Stanley Clarke (first to approach acoustic and electric with appropriately unique jazz (jazz-rock fusion for e-bass) styles) Anthony Jackson (pioneerd the 6-string bass -- which is more like unto a guitar) Jaco (played a fretless and melded techniques from Graham, Bruce and Clarke and his own ideas into a TRULY unique jazz approach) Notes: Paul McCartney is a very melodic player. Verdine White is a standout bassist who brings a jazz approach to R&B similar to Jamerson. Louis Johnson claims to have developed his thunpo=ing and plucking style at the same time as Graham, but was not recoded until '75. Michael Henderson played, per, Miles right on the beat and really didn't do much more that Miles demanded. In light of all these, Prince's style is not very innovative,though it is quite accomplished. [This message was edited Tue Oct 1 16:18:21 PDT 2002 by PFunkjazz] test | |

Surprised no one mentioned him yet (unless I missed it). He's got a number of cool solo albums, and also plays with Bela Fleck and The Flecktonss. Thank god Someone Said it!!! How could you miss this amazing bass player? His harmonic solo of Amazing Grace on "Live at the Quick" (I think, or "Live Art"), is truly stunning. Same with some of his harder to pick up, but equally amazing collaborative work on Cds like Flight of the Cosmic Hippo. And going to a more classical sense, can't forget Edgar Meyer, who happens to be another Bela Fleck Collaborator (see Perpetual Motion). Also, Prince, Bootsy, Larry. Love em all. Actually, when I think of it, I bob my head to some of Prince's stuff, but I'm never been blown away at what he does with the Bass. He's done some cool stuff though. One of my fave's has gotta be "What's My Name". I don't know if it's difficult or not, but it sounds so cool to me. "Knowledge is preferable to ignorance.

John Paul Jones. Half of the greatest rhythm section ever. Check out his solo albums Zooma and The Thunderthief, really great stuff. | |

I've never been much of a Jefferson Airplane nor Grateful Dead fan, but their bass players, Jack Casady and Phil Lesh, are pretty important in the chronology. [This message was edited Wed Oct 2 8:57:02 PDT 2002 by PFunkjazz] test | |

In No particular Order
Jaco Pastorius Meshell Ndegéocello Bootsy Collins Marcus Miller Anthony Jackson Paul Jackson Verdine White And from the UK side of the pond Mark King can somebody help me on the UK side of things? I nearly said Omar but I can't mention him on the basis of his most prominent riff on "There's Nothing Like This"... and he's a multi-instrumentalist anyway (thus no mention of the Princely one!) Tried many flavours - but sooner or later, always go back to the Purple Kool-aid!

Thank you! How could anybody forget the funky slap-bass techniques of Mark King from Level 42? They don't call him "Thunderthumbs" for nothing. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |
