cocco Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Is it me or has no one mentioned Colin Hodgkinson - The Bottom Line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr H Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Certainly not solo, but perhaps in the spirit of the request, how about Mike Watt and Kira Roessler in Dos? [i]Uno Con Dos[/i] 1989 compilation of two earlier records. [i]Justamente Tres[/i] 1996 Both playing bass, Kira usually singing, Watt occasionally.

leroybasslines Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 As he is mentioned elsewhere in this forum, Squarepusher did a solo bass album called "Solo Electric Bass 1". (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=327222155&s=143444&affId=1382715) Here is a live rendition of one of the tracks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Rich Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I quite like Alberto Rigoni "Something Else", been listening to more than I thought I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Would it be a 'faux pas' to mention Cliff Burton's (Metallica) bass solos in this thread? E.g. Anesthesia; Orion; Call of Ktulu. Ah, what the hell - metal up your a$$, and all that! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe only on vinyl. I have a copy on disc that a friend did a transfer from his album. PM me if you like and if I can find it will do you a copy.

Knork Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 John Paul Jones' albums "zooma" and "the thunderthief". no solo bass either but he almost anything you hear is bass besides the occasional drums and guitar. and he plays 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, strings, slided, lap steeled, e-bowed, distorted, whatever. It's a one man bass orchestra. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGHWxLruLvA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGHWxLruLvA[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Academy Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 [quote name='derrenleepoole' post='1119605' date='Feb 7 2011, 10:52 PM']If you want something a little different, I caught Ralf Gauck at Bass Day and he did a series of arrangements of well known pop tunes on solo bass, mostly Beatles, but some Police too. Nice bloke too: This is probably more of what you're after. He has some CD's out too.[/quote] Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Lawson Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks Kev - I'm really glad you're enjoying the music. Have you found [url="http://music.stevelawson.net"]http://music.stevelawson.net[/url] - pretty much everything I've ever released is there, including two duo albums with Trip Wamsley - all priced 'pay what you think it's worth' and fully streamable too.

Doddy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 There are four cool solo piece on Bryan Beller's first album 'View' including a great take on Pattitucci's 'Backwoods'. The rest of the album is great too. One of the best 'bass player' albums around (his second 'Thanks in Advance' is killer aswell.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
