Tenstrum Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 After Steve Harris, I'd invite Robert DeLeo (my main influence), Les Claypool, Flea, Geddy, and then TRUJILLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tattz Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 oh flippin' heck - if death was no barrier definitely james Jamerson!!

Danzilla Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Since so many people have already invited & fed Tony Levin, he's a fat & happy Papa Bear. So I'll ask Pete Trewavas (Marillion/Transatlantic/Kino). Probably have to cook something with leeks... http://www.kinomusic.com/images/PC083090.jpg I tried to invite Anthony Sallee (WhiteHeart, Michael W. Smith) when he was in town around Christmas; but he never returned my e-mail. Still a nice guy, though.

FunkSoulBrother Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yikes. Just one? Death not being a barrier: Jaco, or maybe Entwhistle Still living: Vic Wooten is a definite possibility, maybe Flea, just to get some slapping and funk tips, and maybe like Ryan Martinie or someone.

Bottomgottem Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hmmm... I think maybe g. (or "greenboy" or "absent" or whatever he's called now ) I've had a beer with Dave Sisk. He's good people. We were discussing and looking at my rig and he said, "Hey, whatever sounds good to you". My whole trick is to keep the tune well out in front. If I play Tchaikovsky, I play his melodies and skip his spiritual struggle. ~Liberace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlrush Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I'd invite Uncle Brother!! Seriously, it would have to be Paul McCartney. His music has taken up a large amount of my listening time through the years. And I could figure out some sort of vegetarian dish to make. It would be great fun to meet another Lowdowner sometime too. Visit my band's new web site. www.themojoroots.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottomgottem Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Uncle Brother plays the spoons. He thinks that all stringed musical instruments, with the exception of the fiddle and banjo, are "high falutin'". All low frequency requirements are met by blowing across the top of a 1 U.S. gallon ceramic jug. My whole trick is to keep the tune well out in front.

Aussie bass dude Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I would have to have James Jamerson over he talks/plays I listen If I couldnt get James I would be happy to meet Paul Mccartney and once again just listen no beer until July 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davio Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I'd probably invite Jason (Gospel**#oftheday**theZealot). He's a really cool guy I'd like to get to know better. I don't know if I'd get much out of sitting with a "bass idol" other than the "I'm sitting talking to a famous person" syndrom. I don't know if they're cool or not so I'd probably just invite them to a restaurant so I can make up some lame excuse to leave if they suck.

Whacked Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I got drunk and played pool with James Hetfield. He was pretty cool for a geetar player. As for bass players, way to many to just pick one. Suffice to say, all those already mentioned +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo-London Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Christian McBride or Sting.

Juancarlin Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'd invite Pino Palladino myself. Would love to share stories and POVs. The same day I played with Vic Wooten, we had a toast and some snacks at another guy's house, at night time. Wonderful, very humble guy, easy to get along with. That was back in 1997, but I wouldn't mind sharing again. Also on 2000 I shared with Verdine White. Couldn't say it was much, or even a dinner by itself (more like a chat and snacks at the hotel's lobby after the show), but certainly was a very valuable experience for me. One I would repeat, definitely. Honestly? I would invite to dinner any bassman who can be humble enough to share a dinner at my humble table, have a nice chat, and be able of not making a whole mess of him/herself. Therefore, that excludes, of course, mega-stardom freaks, big-ego-ed shredders, and the like. And in my guess, that would include most of the fine comrades here at the Lowdown. Shame I'm so far away....

Bottomgottem Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Two years ago I said Greenboy. I was both young and impressionable. Today, since the thread title specifies "bassists" and not "bass guitarists", I'd invite Edgar Meyer. Not only is he my favorite bassist, he may qualify as my favorite musician, period. My whole trick is to keep the tune well out in front.
