Themrperson Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) To be honest with you, I'm bored but the whole idea of this is not underrated bassists (it may seem like it, but it is not to me) but bassists (in a band or solo) which show great potential or do a great job in fulling their role. Whether this be by cool rifts or a brilliant display of skill, with more potential to become better. I'm going to get things started with two of my favourite bassists. Tom Doyle - Don Broco This guy has style and awesome rifts. It is hard to describe without listening to it but it quite funky but also rocky. To me it shows a bit of diversity in his abilities. A weird thing he does is use a 5 string, when the guitarist uses a 6 string guitar, but it is also peculiar in that genre of music. I've never seen someone use a 5 string in this Brit Rock/Pop-Punk style of music before. If I did, it was probably due to a tribute band and the bassist was used to a 5 string but never used the B string, but he does! It is part of the reason why I find him so good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o-bAHQs1cc Luke Prebble - Canterbury My favourite out of the two and one of my top ten bassists at this moment. He is very talented when I heard the chorus of Diver, I instantly feel in love with it. Most of it is quite good and is a good example of there can be brilliant bassists in that genre. It is not that one song has a good bassline feel, it is most of them. I have only listen to one song where is it simple and a bit boring (one of their bests though) but this can easily be forgiven as he always makes him self heard through the other instruments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jyZT9kmesg (Wait for the chorus at 1:03) So, tell us all who you think is an upcoming bassist of the future or really good unheard ones.

AndyTravis Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Darryll Clarkson - had played with the (now disbanded) Profane and now plays with Cyril Snear. Darryll's been a mate for about 15 years, much more so in the last 3/4 years. You'd probably know him if you've shopped for a bass in Manchester; he currently holds the dubious moniker of having worked in 99% of the guitar shops in Manchester in the last 15 years. He's a great all rounder, and having 'duetted' a few times, I really bow to his prowess. Anyhow, a quick google of either band will show plenty of material. Darryll is well worth checking out - great to see him out playing shows again. Edited July 9, 2013 by AndyTravis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Need to correct you on Don Broco, the tracks on the album are recorded by the old bassist (forget his name) and where played on a Warwick double buck 4 atring which was detuned to drop D for most songs. They're roots are in some weird screamo modern metal. Check out Thug Work out for old old stuff, and check out the big fat smile EP, amazing tracks on there for bass playing, beautiful morning is my favourite. Tom Doyle is a great bassist though and playing what they play while being so active on stage is incredible. And both him and the old guy are on my top list of fav players. I really rate doug johns as a live player and I really dig his sound too, but his overall composition is a bit lackluster, same for square pusher someone I would see live but find hard to listen too on record.

I knew that they had a new bassist but I thought he left a while before Priorities, but I'm wrong! Still a great bassist though but I swear I've seen a live video of him playing the B string. Anyway you can add Luke Rayner to the list then as unheard bassists. (Old Don Broco bassist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah TD uses a 5 string Spector, songs like fancy dress are technically Easter to play with a Low B, but Luke Raynor ( thanks for that got totally stuck on his name) used and recorded with a 4 string in drop D. It's always a ball ache whenever their songs come up in my play along playlist as I've learnt some in everyday, playing up an octave, playing drop D and playinging tuned to D standard. I wouldn't say what I have said is set in stone but I know on a couple of tunes Luke did just play in drop D. And many sexy girls walked up to him.

Jah Wibble Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Posted some of their vids a few months ago but think he deserves another mention. Joe Dart - Vulfpeck Just think its good music done with good humor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQRV0c1KXYc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npqD602G90o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yesuSizNW-8 Edited March 24, 2014 by icastle Link fixed.

Raymondo Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) He probably wouldn't thank me for this but for me one of the best bass players i have ever seen and(or) heard is a fellow Nottingham guy named Wayne Evans.... His band in the Seventies..Gaffa... were awesome. He then set up a fab outfit called Marcel Marceau Sound... He plays bass and sings lead vocals (the vocals in a very distinctive Nottingham accent) and he amazes me every time I see him... He has done many things over the thirty to forty years i have known of him...I can't say known him because although he recognises me when we meet he has never been a close friend....check out the last pedestrians for his current ...and fabulous...upright bass material.

Graham Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 check out James Pearce from Brighton's Stone Circle who were our old tour buddies. They are heavily influenced by Opeth and he more than rises to the occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
