Re: My Favorite Piece of Tuna |
"Add a few zeroes and yo umight be closer to fine. Good thing no one here is allergic to hyperbole."
what an absurd statement.
since this has turned into a greatest bassist thread, here's a few that should have been mentioned by now:
entwistle
chris squire
john paul jones
tony levin
george porter jr.
flea
and some legendary session men:
louis johnson
marcus miller
anthony jackson

Re: My Favorite Piece of Tuna |
You have just reinforced my point by listing 9 players who are octaves ahead of Jack...

Re: My Favorite Piece of Tuna |
i suppose we look for different things in a bassist. technical chops isn't all too important for me. i was being a bit generous to mr. casady with my top 5 statement, but i think you also underestimate him a tad. he changed the way people looked at playing bass. his melodic playing just really does it for me.

Re: My Favorite Piece of Tuna |
FWIW, in the late 60s/early 70s, JackC was regarded by many in the Bay Area as one of the truly talented players (any instrument), as was Phil, to emerge. I always thought it was why so much was expected of HTuna, and so much less of JStarship given his move in 72 (though they'd formed HT in 69 or so, I don't think he stopped playing with JA til the very early 70s). Though he did eventually play with Starship, in the mid-70s they really missed him, IMO.

Re: My Favorite Piece of Tuna |
Did you notice how this thread went from tuna to bass? Something fishy going on...
