Aye, I suspect 99% of guitarists could play bass to a certain level so it's not a complete surprise to see some of them give it a pop!

I recon Elvis is probably the most surprising one here. Maybe he just liked the look of it, but he seemed to enjoy being pictured with a precision.

This is him playing Bill Black's 51 Precision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunderwonder Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I was surprised to learn Keanu Reeves is a bassist in his spare time. Lead actor you would think guitar hero would be first calling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Kevin McCloud from Channel 4 programme ‘Grand Designs’ apparently plays the bass ‘very badly’. Also Penn Jillette from magician duo Penn and Teller is a good jazz double bassist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote What relaxes him? Kevin said about playing the bass guitar: “They are wonderful time machines, they just take you out of the space where you are and you enter the world of music and it’s the most blessed place. If there's ever been a time when music has been more valuable than now I can't think of it.” Link to above quote, but there's really not much more to it. I did not know that about him.

BillyBass Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 This is a Davie 504 video about famous people playing bass. The bit with 'Barack Obama' had me fooled for a bit but, unfortunately, it isn't him 😪 And just like Davie, I've never heard of Riley Reid and have never watched any of her videos on Pornhub. In fact, I've never heard of Pornhub either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
