Ok lets see what I can come up with...

Frank Zappa-guitar
Carlos Santana-guitar
Chris Squire-bass
Bill Bruford-drums
Tony Banks-Keyboards
David Jackson- Saxophone, Flute
Jean Luc Ponty- violin

The only one im not very sure about in this is Banks

Once upon a time there was some writing on the wall we all ignored, until the time that there was war and feasts of famine at our door

So, pretty much, just DT, TMV, Cynic, and Scale the Summit combined!

They would have some amazing amazing jams. Very loud and obnoxious... Fun!

Frank Zappa could direct them!

Inspired by the "Top 5 Prog Bass Players," here's a bass-heavy supergroup

Chris Squire - Lead Bass

Geddy Lee - Bass, Vocals, Keys

John Myung - Bass

Jaco Pastorius - Bass

Tony Levin - Bass, Chapman Stick, vocals

Tomas Haake - Drums (With lots of bass drum)

Tosin Abasi - 8-sting guitar

Tom Abbs - Tuba

Mikael Akerfeldt - Growls, guitar

The first song they should play is Spinal Tap's "Big Bottom".

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Christian Vander - drums

Cyro Baptista - percussion

yours truly - bass

Carla Kihlstedt - violin, vocals

Toby Smith - Rhodes piano, keyboards

Steven "Flying Lotus" Ellison - laptop

James McGaw - guitar

The result would sound like a trancy mix of Kohntarkosz/Theusz Hamtaak era zeuhl and harsh Part the Second-like music with Carla's sweet voice instead of the Magma choir and Electric Masada-like improvisation.

This is nice. I'd add Zoltan Czsorz on the drums and Jonas Reingold on the bass. And maybe Bill Bruford.

My mind would eat itself. The only addition that I could make would be Holdsworth.
