I think I’ve got some diverse choices…
August 1, 2001 at 9:34 pm #64380Um. . . where is Jaco Pastorius, Charles Mingus, Victor Wooten, Bootsy Collins, C’mon! wheres the Jazz and REAL Funk.
August 2, 2001 at 12:08 am #64381And dont forget Marcas Miller, dam that mans got his shit together!
Hey malcom,
I got to see Victor Wooten play last year with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and i gotta say that he has to be the best bass player going around by Shit loads! The mans got his chops together! [img]images/smiles/converted/wink.gif[/img]

As for everyone’s suggestions, yeah, Bootsy Collins prolly should be on there…
August 2, 2001 at 4:46 am #64384……..so I guess stand-up bass (Jimbo Wallace, Lee Rocker, Chris Wood) is out? As well as Mr. Mascis himself? Anybody here ever listen to the bassline on ‘Waistin’?? It’s beautiful! Or how about Charlie Hunter, maestro of the 8-string guitar, who plays the bassline AND the melody at the same time??
Mix it up a little, Jaron! Better yet, how about a poll where people come up with their OWN responses? You aren’t really providing a cross-section of the music world, now. We’re really just voting, "Which one of Jaron’s picks do we agree with?"
no offense intended,
tired and grumpy,

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Um…how about the "favorite guitarist besides J" poll? [img]images/smiles/converted/rolleyes.gif[/img] A small handful of musicians (albeit very talented & important ones), and none of them outside that circle you guys call "indie rock".
No ESP required, just a broader vision.

Are you refering to the choices I have? The bass player for Tool, Metallica, and Led Zeppellin… yep, you’re right, absolutely nothing outside of "indie rock." I apoligize.

By the way,I `ve heard at least 400 jazz albums before I ever bought an indie rock album.August 3, 2001 at 10:54 am #64392<BLOCKQUOTE><font>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by salamiguy:
