OliverBlackman Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) right guys heres the deal. In this picture there are 3 bass players. They are ordered A-C (left to right). So what you have to do is pick one that you think best represents you (as a person and a bass player) and two that dont. So for example. If it was a picture of a bird (A), a plane (B ), or a motorbike (C ), victor wooten would say he is a A and not B & C because he's a spiritual nut. Also give your reasons for your choice :-) [attachment=91584:research bass players.jpg] Edited October 20, 2011 by blackmn90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) None of them really... And I don't even know who the guy on the right is. Edited October 20, 2011 by BigRedX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Steve Harris because I've got long hair. Although not as long as his, admittedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Steve, because i have long hair, i want a blue p bass, i play fingerstyle, and i like triplets. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len_derby Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Is C Guy Pratt?? B (Steve Harris) just illustrates how ridiculous long hair looks on the older gentleman. C looks a cool dude, but I don't know who he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'm gonna go with A. Doesn't look like me (I'm white with long hair & a beard), I don't smoke (though I used to), & I play through FX to get as untraditional a sound as possible. But.... He's the only one that looks like he'd play some DnB, blues, jazz or laid back chillax stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 C looks like Guy Pratt in his younger days with his lovely old P-bass. So I'll go with him 'cos I like his extensive range of playing style, like his humour & like his P-bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't identify to any of them. If I was held at gunpoint I'd go with the upright guy. He looks like he's having fun. He's playing and smoking a stogie like he just don't care. But then he's probably playing jazz which is not good. And now I come to think of it all that smoke would get in your eyes. Iron Maiden don't remotely appeal to me on any level at all. The other one may well be Mr Pratt but he does look like a geography teacher who wishes he was somewhere else. I'd have gone for Sid over these 3 if you put him in!

dmccombe7 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'm too old to understand this It can't be Guy Pratt. Did you check out the old WEM cabs they are using. That would be back in the late 60's / early 70's. Is he that old based on fact the guy in the photo looks mid 20's maybe. I would go with Steve Harris cos long hair has always been cool.
