Highfox Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I guess Macca was pretty cool in his day and did a good job on those baselines. Simonon for the looks and chucking the bass around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Sid Vicious, anyone who can drop their bass off their shoulder swing it over their head and clout a troublesome American over the head without the audience even noticing he had missed a beat has got to be pretty cool in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 No one is cooler than Larry Graham. He's Larry Graham ffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkandrew Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 If cool is measured in how many posters of you are (or were) pinned to people's walls or how many magazine covers you've appeared on, then it's probably John Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painy Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 [quote name='Cato' timestamp='1485533438' post='3224741'] Honourable mention for Yolanda Charles http://youtu.be/pTvMoA1GyV4 [/quote] Not sure if it's any measure of coolness as such but I do think I may be a little bit in love with her.

Crawford13 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'm agree with Bubinga5 and say Pino Palladino, but Mike League has to be up there to even if just for his awesome bass face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Thundercat. One of the coolest human beings alive. Who also happens to be a bass player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBpwKNbcuMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I went to see Goldfrapp about ten years ago and Charlie Jones, the bass player, was the epitome of cool. Gold lame trousers, porkpie hat, and a see through acrylic Precision. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/clear-p-bass-coachella.432314/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentalextra Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Could someone define the meaning of cool in this context? I'm assuming we're all not just giving our personal heroes a name check, and that 'cool' doesn't have to mean supremely gifted either?

Old Man Riva Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Always thought Paul Gray of the Damned looked cool. Ditto Pete Way of UFO and Norman Watt-Roy both circa late 1970s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man knew a cool bass player when he saw one. Check the elbow action around 1:40!

MisterT Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Bootsy's just had a street in Cincinnati named after him... And listening to Freekbass' show, he mentioned that on at least one occasion, George Clinton was late to a show and Bootsy was the one to emerge from the Mothership. INVENT A TIME MACHINE NOW!
