DAS44 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Rick Danko has always been my favorite, as much for his wailing voice as for the bounce he seemed to carry the beat with :P Handsome devil too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbreslauer Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Mark Winchester with Brian Setzer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggN-HKq3FG8 bass featured starting around 3:13 wow. these guys are all monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hell Yeah! Jon Anderson's vocals are also top notch on this track. True! Not to mention the playing of Bruford, Howe and Wakeman are all spot-on. You know, listening to The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge all in one sitting through a good pair of headphones, it amazes me every time just how original and creative the musicianship of that band was. It's too bad that Steve Howe's too old and frail to pick up a guitar these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbabig Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I learned how to do natural harmonics by playing roundabout. Here's another track showing Squire's genius. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op3VnzVKq1Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RandyMan Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I used to listen to Stanley Clarke . . . thought he was pretty good. He's one of the major reasons I bought a bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzoboy Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The Ox-John Entwhistle gets my vote.No matter how simple the bass line such as in Magic Bus he really could pound out the bottom with his bass lines. Also there's Greg Lake of Emerson,Lake and Palmer and King Crimson,he is never given the attention and accolades that he deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
