bassace Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 The Count Basie Orchestra from late 50s/early60s, no question. Touring with Mark Knoffler would be fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombywoof Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 For me it would have to be.... Frank Zappa (circa 1974) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben604 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Pre-Lullabies Queens of the Stone Age, Fu Manchu or Clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambo Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Nowadays it'd have to be The Rapture, or Modest Mouse... something with a bit of bounce. In a previous life it would be The Meters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottle Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Paul Weller's group circa 1990 - 1995 (Wild Wood & Stanley Road era) 1995 - mid-2000's - Radiohead Today, well, probably Muse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 If it was a current band I'd stick with mine. Only with money, more gigs, groupies, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngh Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Chaka Khan to drool at every gig or Al Di Meola whan he was doing all the super quick electric stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Scratch my previous one. U2. It wouldn't take long to learn. Loads of cash. I could also take Bono out with a well judged swing of the headstock and pretend it was an accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 The Doors. They coulda done with a full time bassist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teej Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Howling Wolf's band, maybe Muddy Waters' too, but I think he might have been a hard task-master. Little Walter's band - but the drinking would probably have killed me too. Louis Jordan's band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer61 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Rise Against (if I didn't have to become vegitarian) also I'd like to be Tony Levin in Peter Gabriel's band Oh and I'd like to have been in the Sensational Alex Harvey Band circa 72-79 (Chris Glen was and still is damn cool in my book) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykilz Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Iron Maiden for me, and yes I could be first to get my foot up on the monitors ahead of Bruce, just wouldn`t be as good as Steve Harris when I got there........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Current Pat Metheny Group - I could do it technically but only on electric as I don't double. Past? Bruford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markl Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) CAN Black Sabbath Talking Heads - Fear of Music/Remain in Light era Wire particuarly doing stuff from Read and Burn 1, 2 and Send The Fall Gang of Four Crazy Horse too maybe, around Weld time. Venom !!! One of Prince's bands either The Revolution or just after up to and including the Lovesexy tour - though I couldn't actually cut it. Henry Cow but again wouldn't have the chops Just thought of a couple more though sort of the same Sleep and OM and I reckon being in Chrome Hoof would be fun too Edited September 24, 2009 by markl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor_of_the_bass Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 1979 - Would have hung around the Guildhall and harass Mark King so much so that he would have missed the early L42 rehearsals, I could then take over and show em how its done!!! Actually, I'd loved to have played for the 80's line up of YES.......baa da daap baa daaaa!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
