Mike F. Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I dont actually know the guys names but the bassist from the Smiths and Steely Dan. Just listen to William it was really nothing or This Charming Man from the Smiths and you'll see what i mean. For Steely Dan i would have to point to Deacon Blue. Ive even been considered a fan of dave ellefson or however you spell it from megadeth. Double what we got o mr. roboto Double Double Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the bassist from Steely Dan is my former teacher, the afore-mentioned Chuck Rainey. While he didn't play all of the bass on their output, he did play on Deacon Blue, and that entire album: "Aja" An absolute must have album for bass groove. Andy Rourke, from the Smiths, has been documented often. I can't tell you I know much about him...but I believe he was replaced...something about drugs.

conguiño Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 It's kind of ironic that this thread got so long after I've been given crap about asking for opinions about what THE BEST is. I don't recall who it was but one of y'all told me that there is no such thing as the best in music, and I must say that since then I totally agree. Anyway I can't help to think that this thread was meant to be like the Mississippi. I mean you when you get into a discussion about who the best is your bound to be in for a 12 rounder. Anyway I'm glad to see all this entusism in here. That's why I love this forum. I got turned onto bass playing by Robert DeLeo on STP's first two albums. Nothing fancy but a bit different from what I was used to hearing in the early 90s. Does it hurt? Only when I'm awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepnurecords Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I don't think this has ever been about "The best", certainly shouldn't of been. That's BS. Best what? Timing, ear, tone, technique(pure BS - btw)...... How bout - The guy that's never heard the tune, learns it by ear, or off a bar napkin, in five minutes and cuts an amazing track. Listen to every CD ya own and tell me who's done that. YOU DON'T KNOW. I'd hoped this was about players and styles that changed the way we all think about the instrument. People that ADDED to the vocabulary. Well, if you can't put your head in a pre '76 place you'll never know what Jaco did. By '78 8,000 cats had taken what they could and run with it. "Oh, that mid-rangey fretless thing...we all do it, nuthin' special". Like those, sad and sorry guitarists, that don't know how much they owe to Hendrix. Dozens of other players and dates can be plugged in instead of Jaco. People who changed things. Not the fastest, freakiest or whatever. Certainly not the slappinest, tappinest or most removed from the original function of the instrument(God help us when the drummers are left to keep time). I rant. A appologize. D.

ebozzz Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Originally posted by jeremyc: Hungate was the original bassist for Toto and a top LA studio guy...his parts on Boz Skagg's records are enough to put him "in the hall of fame". He got tired of the rock and roll and LA lifestyle and moved to Nashville where he became a top Nashville studio guy. Phil Upchurch also played on George Benson's "Breezin".Thanks for the clarification on Toto. I always liked their older stuff. I knew that Phil Upchurch played on Breezin but his work on Earth Tones is pretty impressive to me. Maybe it's just the way that the entire song comes together.... It is from Blues that all that may be called American music derives it's most distinctive characteristics. -James Weldon Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
