Post by: pickinatit on March 10, 2008, 07:39:58 am: I pick Entwhistle, but you have to understand that my pick is suspect. I'm an "old geezer" that grew up as a bass player on Entwhistle and by contrast, I have to admit, I'm not even hardly familiar with the playing of Bronson or Greenwood. So, not sure my vote should really count for much. For all I know Bronson & Greenwood might be able to play circles around Entwhistle. Just being as honest as I can about my pick.

Post by: basiklybass on March 10, 2008, 09:20:17 pm: With only those 3 to choose from...not much choice. Entwistle broke new ground in equipment and in technique. And he was an Ox! :lol:

But given my druthers; I'd pick Colin Moulding of XTC. He plays riffs that blow my mind.

Was it good? Was it a pun?

Post by: pombagira on March 12, 2008, 07:22:44 am: the band Charles Bronson were amazing. They came out of Decalb, Chicago. Fast hardcore punk. In their time they were regarded as one of the best with bands around. Featured Ebro who was in Los Crudos, the singer went onto sing in The Oath. They used lots of Charles Bronson samples as intros. Very intelligent and yet very funny lyrics.

Thank God someone else out there would pick Jack. Gotta love the sound of a Gibson EB3.

Post by: CLD on October 27, 2008, 01:59:04 pm: Hey, I just discovered this, and it's too late for me to nominate Jack Casady as a write-in! :cry:

Jack and other SF-area bassists used Sunn gear in the late '60s and it was seeing Jack use Sunn with Jefferson Airplane that drove my choice to become Sunn equipped a couple of years later.

Please include Jack as a candidate if you do this poll again. Thanks!

Yes I have to agree. Jack is definately one of the best Rock bassists. Also to mention Felix Pappalardi from Mountain. The sound Felix had with those cranked up Sunn's giving him great sustain and a natural buzz rendering a unique sound with solid lows from those RLFH cabinets. Nothing like a cranked up Sunn! :wink:

Post by: Wally on November 11, 2008, 03:36:18 pm: Should not John Paul Jones be considered among the rock bassists? Also, the work of Rick Danko with The BAnd is truly memorable if you considered the complexity of his playing given the fact that he was singing much of the time.
Among all genres, there have to be other options. James Jamerson with Motown is one. IN the jazz world, there is Ron Carter among other giants. Larry Brown created funk.

Nah, I can't vote in this one....
