angelboy Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Rocco Prestia [url="http://www.roccoprestia.com/"]http://www.roccoprestia.com/[/url] I like the text on his home page: Notice to fans - if you have a photo of Rocco Prestia that you feel is pretty cool please send it to Air Tight Management.

Dood Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 If it's 'cool' as in the way someone acts on stage, I'd put a vote in for Guy Pratt. He always looks so chilled out and unphased by whats going on around him, whilst say Mssr's Sheehan, Hamm etc are either rockin out or in deep concentration. (Not a bad thing of course, but for being -100 on the chilled out scale, GP is there!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwbassman Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hey Dan I guess 'cool' is subjective - hence the wide variety of guys put forward on this thread - I think it also depends on your personal aspirations John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Yes, very true! - This thread has been pretty cool itself, with all these awesome players getting a mention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwbassman Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 must admit I've been chuffed with the interest - I've posted about a few other bits and pieces and only had a handful of replies so it's been good to topic that has engaged with the masses - thanks for all your responses guys there's loads of new players here for me to investigate...

Kiwi Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Since Bernard Edwards passing in 1996, noone's cooler than Meshell Nedegeocello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero9 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Great topic! I support all these guys in their choices. I suppose the coolest bass player is the last one I can remember who blew me away, however, there are so many. Of those I've seen live, I guess Avishai Cohen is up there.
