I think I might enjoy having reproduction equipment that is the shape of a Hofner. It'd be a great ice breaker at parties. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairobill Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Can't believe I just wrote an essay on pointless best of lists in a discussion about pointless best of lists 🤪 Edited February 3, 2023 by Cairobill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be 25 different lists made by "bass specialists" all around the world and all of them may differ at 99%. Finally we are here to have fun and each have it's 1#bassist, to enjoy listening and learning from, so no sense of those lists. I am number 1 on my list. Now what is a bass? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a stretch to include the title, best bass player! IMO the number one, the most significant bass player of all time, is the guy who changed the way that bass lines were created and changed bass playing for everyone. The guy who didn't just open the door for the rest of us, but knocked it clean off it's hinges. The guy whose bass lines were unique and ranged from the simplest, Higher and Higher and My Girl to the most complicated, For Once In My Life and Darling Dear . . . James Jamerson. Think this is who was Macca's main influence. Edited February 3, 2023 by merello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskwave Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 No1 entertainer maybe still...Any doubters try playing Silly Love Songs and singing. Macca does it live and makes tea for the band at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
