Hello all. This thread was on old site. I quite liked it because it made me aware of some of the more interesting overlooked players, probably never heard of or listened to in much detail. My nominations are: Barry Adamson (Magazine) George Murray (Bowie - 'Low','Scary Monsters')* wish I could find more info on this guy, nothing on Web(?) Has anybody got any other listening recommendations, more obscure the better. Cheers Nick

Not a fan of Queen myself, but have to admit "Under Pressure" is a seminal bassline, & a cracking tune.

I like the EH Octave Multiplexer. Nice warm, almost lo-fi tones. Has some interesting controls on it, & a 'sub' switch which kicks in a nice farty fuzz sound. Tracking is not brilliant, about same as Boss. Used a Boss before, but didn't like sound - seemed a bit too synthetic(?) to me.

Cracking basses. Used to have a Thunder 1A, until some kindly person nicked it. Was never a great fan of the body shape myself - very eighties, but soundwise akin to a good Precision. Definitely a good recording bass. Construction of these is good as well, could probably survive a nuclear attack. As per previous post, an excellent workhorse. IMHO well worth a ton.
