I'm sure I've missed several that should have been mentioned. Let me know who they are.

Missing many great ones.
Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck) Michael Manring (Solo, Attention Deficit) Sean Malone (Cynic, Gordon Knot, Death) Les Claypool Colin Marston (Dysrythmia, Behold the Arctopus, Gorguts) Robin Zielhorst (Exivious, Cynic) Trevor Roy Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Secret Chief 3) I must admit, Malone and Marston are frequently playing Stick or Warr Guitar. But they still make the bass sounds. |

Billy Sheehan. Check out his work with Niacin. And any of the dozens of bands and collaborations he has been involved with.

He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore

I wouldn't call Tony modern. He's been doing it since the 70's with Gabriel, Paul Simon and others. Great player, but not modern.

Didn't realize there was an age limit. Assumed anyone playing in currently active bands would qualify...

I would love to vote for Myung. He's definitely got the chops and the feel. Problem is, DT doesn't let him run free often enough. What good is all that skill if you don't get to show it off? I've often found this to be a frustration with DT -- Petrucci and whatever keyboardist they have get to take off and Myung gets buried. It's like they think it'll be too much if the bassist is also ripping (who am I kidding? When has DT ever acted like something was too much? Ha!). And Rush and Yes make it work with all the major players showing off at the same time.
So anyway, went with LaRue.

Eureka! Always wondered what that curve at the top of the body on electric guitars and basses was for. Killer solo. Edited by Tapfret - November 14 2019 at 16:09 |
