Ta.[/quote] I don't know, but as he was a bass player it's possible he did it himself. From reading about him I can imagine him wanting to do as much as he could at that time.

Ta.[/quote] Carole Kaye? [size=1]I'm joking, I'm joking.[/size] No, I'd like to know the answer too, for all Scott Walker's early solo stuff. No one's properly credited on anything (although IIRC Scott Walker gets credited with the guitar for "30 Century Man" on [i]Scott 3[/i]).

beerdragon Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I think the backing on that album was done by the Wally Stott orchestra. so it will probably remain a mystery. Wally Stott had a sex change and became Angela Morley and lives in the States. and now, back to our main programme!

stewblack Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Thanks guys, it's a shame as I've been invited to do a slot on a local radio show called 'Bass Corner' Basically I get to pick a song and waffle about the bass player each week. Once you've done the obvious you naturally look further afield, and there are a couple of stunning bass lines on that album. Maybe I'll never know. I did Barry Adamson from Magazine/The Bad Seeds today, he wrote some great stuff. Maybe you folks have other ideas? Great tracks from a bass perspective and who played on them? Just a thought.

thebeat Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Have you done anything on Horace 'Gentleman' Panter?...or how about Martin 'Youth' Glover? another +1 for Scott Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Just a guess but my money would be on Herbie Flowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamd Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Barry Adamson great player, sorely underrated. Norman Watt Roy could be a good one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Thanks guys. I have done Norman, Bruce Thomas, Macca, started of course with James Jamerson. Covered Tina Weymouth, Jean Jacques Burnel and given air time to Phil Lynott, John Entwhistle, Sir Horace and Bruce Foxton. All other suggestions will be gratefully received. if nothing else it's fun to discover new stuff I'd not heard. If you have any little interesting snippets about the bassist that would be good too.

Stew, Have you done Bob Babbett? Then there's Bernard Edwards, Roger Waters, Bill Wyman, Rick Danko, Nathan East, Willie Weeks and Freddie Washington.
