Give Me Bass Or Give Me Death Part 1

There are exceptions for me, like Tim Bogert's (Vanilla Fudge/Cactus) fuzz bass, Chris Squire's overblown live solos, Jack Bruce's horrendous SG Bass "blatzzz" (Ala West, Bruce & Laing period), Lemmy's of Motorhead, anyone want to chime in here? Now, for me Felix Pappalardi's fuzz bass rocks! Chris Squire's sound and playing on "Relayer" boggles. ANY Dub bass playing. My Someone and The Somebodies band mate Tristram Lozaw's beautifully dense Hagstrom 8-string workouts (Terror Thru Hope!) that literally shook the house. Martin Turner of Wishbone Ash and his Gibson Thunderbird punch. Michael Manring for his work in the Yo Miles project. Sveinung Hovensjo's mercurial presence on the '70s Terje Rypdal recordings "Whenever I Seem To Be Far Away" and "Odyssey". Buster Williams' acrobatic space-funk on the Herbie Hancock and Eddie Henderson sessions. The elegant bounce of Ron Carter in the great Miles Davis Quintet of '65-'68. Paul Jackson Jr. in Herbie Hancock's Headhunters band (whew!). Bootsy Collins' stand tall and steady in James Brown's band (Live for Peace in Paris 1972). Oh, OK! ANY Bootsy Collins. My fellow Auto66 band mate Tristram Lozaw's deep, steadfast and haunting Martin "Thunder Bass" excellence. Gary Justin of Sir Lord Baltimore for his relentless full-blooded fuzz throb. Steve Swallow who has to be one of the most criminally underrated compositional and playing talents ever. Christian McBride for his ability to easily compress into his own voice 100 years of jazz bass stylistics on any given night. Janick Top of Magma for his psychotic maniacal approach to playing. Any and all thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome. Give Me Bass Or Give Me Death Part 1 concluded!
