John Ferarra. Way underground. But amazing dude. He played a phillip glass quartet by himself on insta. But listen to this

The tightness with the drums even in tempo changes. The tapped out metal Beach Boys cover interjected in. I think he could learn anyone elses bass lines faster than they could learn his.

>hear to get gud you have to play a few Who songs
>"wtf how hard can it be"
>Check tabs
>fucking fills and solos throughout the whole song
Why?

>>72551858
Why not

That's what The Who were about, Townshend, Entwistle and Moon being as loud as possible

>>72551997
>Entwistle also developed what he called a "typewriter" approach to playing the bass. It involved positioning his right hand over the strings so all four fingers could be used to tap percussively on the strings, causing them to strike the fretboard with a distinctive twangy sound. This gave him the ability to play three or four strings at once, or to use several fingers on a single string.

>Entwistle was notorious for the extremely high volume at which he played bass, going so far as to rig pick-ups to each string on his instruments. This led to him developing hearing loss, similar to Townshend. Although not as public about his problems as Townshend, he reputedly had to rely on lip reading to understand speech in his later years.

>Tfw I play bass and I pretty much dont play unless amp/bass are at 10 for volume and bass
Slightly worried here.

>>72550683
dam i just saw this band a month ago, was totally blown the fuck away

>>72552079
Remember their rigs were massive though, plus Moon's tendency to blow up his drumkit. Wear protectors and you're good.

>>72550289
good list.

Not the best but Eric Avery is very underrated

Mike Watt, man

the guy from Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna

Nobody has posted Trevor Dunn so far.

>>72553414
Claypool, Burton and Harris are overrated as fuck, especially Claypool and Burton.. at least Harris is innovative.
The rest are great.. really really great.

>>72553479
You think Claypool is overrated? Guy's a fuckin' mad man. Burton as an over all bassist is overrated, but I put him on their because he was very innovative as a soloist. But I'll give you that, I just like him personally and he is a huge influence on me. Harris is another personal favorite, he served his band by writing almost all of their songs and by being able to keep up with the guitars.

>>72553479
>Steve Harris is innovative
>Les Claypool isn't
