Your Favorite Bass Prevalent CD?

Try listening to Jack Bruce solo albums many of which had Gary Moore on guitar. BBM album Around the Next Dream is pretty good. Bruce Baker Moore with some nice rock bass cutting thru on some tracks.

Also Hughes & Thrall album of same name Here's a track from the album

Or Glenn Hughes solo here's a great song called Liar. Not Hughes playing bass on this. Its the bassist from Europe John Leven (pronounced Levene)

As someone who has recently started playing fretless it is very hard to find your own style or ‘voice’ without sounding like these players.

Very true. Listening to Joni Mitchell's, Wild Things Run Fast (a very bass prevalent album), the marvellous Larry Klein appears to be channeling Jaco. However, when he plays fretless with others (Peter Gabriel, Don Henley, for example) he seems to avoid this.

I’d forgotten about BBM. Gary’s Scars album has some great bass from Cass Lewis too. Must dig that out!

The real difficulty with finding your own sound on any instrument is in realising that you already have it.

Another great not mentioned on here is six string bass pioneer Anthony Jackson. Try Michel Camilo's live 'Caribe' CD or the MC Trio CD 'Suntan' . You could also find a Steve Kahn live CD called 'The Suitcase'. 

 

There is also the legend that is Steve Swallow. Try John Scofield 'En Route' or Swallow's own 'Damaged In Transit'.

I'd add Steve Khan's 'Modern Times' to the Anthony Jackson must-listen list as AJ is nice and clear in a trio context and it's not Latin, which let's face it, can get on your tits.

Big, big plus 1 for Neil Murray's playing on the early Whitesnake albums - especially Trouble, Ready and Come and Get it. So souful and funky but yet still driving and perfect for the bluesy heavy rock sound the band had at the time. One of my favourite bass players.

Neil Murray has got to be up there as one of my all time favourite Bassists.

There's lots of upfront bass playing to admire in Cake's album Fashion Nugget. A perennial favourite around chez Shambo. It does contain the occasional, tastefully positioned F-bomb.

Can I upgrade this to their entire back catalogue?
