[QUOTE="thunderbyrd, post: 55943069, member: 135267"] i'll list some that have made a big impression on me, over the years. Gary Thain - he died in 1975. he was the bass player for uriah heep. i don't think i could stand too awful much uriah heep today, but whenever i have heard any of their stuff, it's gary's righteous bassline that stands out. plus you can actually hear him, pretty distinctly, on their recordings. Berry Oakley - the bass player for the 1st, best version of the allman brothers. just listen to the original studio version of "whipping post" sometime. if you ever listen to "live at the fillmore", try to do so on headphones and just dig Berry's groove all the way thru. Chuck Rainey - his playing on steely dan's "aja" album is pure groovalicious perfection. this is one of the best bass guitar albums ever, IMHO. this is the record that inspired and convinced me that bass was every bit the "valid means of expression" that electric guitar was and made me want to play bass. Dan Hartman - Dan played on some records by the edgar winter group, that's him on "free ride", which is a cool old radio boogie song, if you ever hear it again, check out how cool his playing is on it. he went on and had some solo success in the '80's that i don't know much about.
