T.W. Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 In your opinion, who did more for the instrument? Lets compare/contrast the two players. One I consider a great player and the other I consider an innovator. What did each man do for the bass? This is an opinion question, so lets hear it.

dcr Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Larry Graham. I mean, Nathan East is great and all, but take away his special superhero belt with all the gadgets, and what has he got? He can't even fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bear Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Innovation wise, Lary Graham. I have a poster of Nathan in the room I teach. I point to it and tell my students. That guy up there can play his ass off, but he can ride a root note and leave people just as mystified as a shredder.

Catlin Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I like both players quite a bit, Nathan is a great example of a working bass player, I ejoy what he did with Carlton. But Larry was far more of an innovator, adding to the development of percussive playing, Sly and the Family Stone is pretty cool stuff as well. I say Larry Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcr Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Then again, Nathan East is impervious to kryptonite, and has never got his butt kicked by Gene Hackman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
