Saw Sack Trick a few times, they're actually a phenomenal live band, not that you'd know it from their recordings.

^ classic "machine-gun the audience with bass" maneuver there.

nice grimace

Joe, one chrome and one black.

Brill, how much you want for 'em?

And while I'm here, come say hi this Saturday night after Muddy Hell...

oh dear it's turning into this forum

http://basschat.co.uk/

at least no ones posted pictures of their new 7 string or any mark king videos.

oh and when it comes to bassists mani does it for me, or john paul jones, except not his latest band, awful awful awful.

I've got bored of following other bassists recently, it can be a bit souless working out how to play other peoples tunes, especially with bass. It's strange how bass lines effect you and stick in your head. Often the best bass parts are not done by the "masters" - jaco etc, but by the often over looked. macca was pretty awesome sometimes, and the exit bass line to karma police is lovely. oh and good points about interpol and sonic youth, great stuff. I can add kim deal to that list!

John and James from Palehorse get an honourable mention for the relentless riffing

YouTube - palehorse - we cannot love you

FUCKING YES PALEHORSE.

Best band in London hands down.

On a similar note I'm selling my Matamp 2x100w valve head once it's back from service:

Any stoner rockers?

She's an absolute beauty.
Just bought a matamp gt1; I love it.

oh and this is the best bass line around

YouTube - My Sharona - The Knack Official Video

and I must say, even though I'm trying to be anti bass wankery, victor wooten properly knocked my socks of when I saw the flecktones at last years london jazz festival. stanley clarke at the same gig was also incredible.

Paul mcartney was always my favourite sort of bass playing. The bass very much led so much of the beatles songs, driving the melody instead of droning behind the rythm guitar in the background.

Macca was (is) a bloody great bassist - too many incredible basslines to mention - also played some the of the best guitar on Beatles tracks
