Haven't listened to this guy before.

After checking out your links, I gotta thank you for the reference!!

Guy is awesome!!

If you like virtuoso bass players--check out Les Claypool (Primus)

The Bass player (name escapes me at the moment) from Dream Theatre will give your guy a run for his money!!



Enjoy,

Boner

Wooten is freakishly unbelievable!

Although I prefer Geddy Lee, Chris Squire, Jack Bruce, John Entwhistle, Tom Peterson and of course...McCartney.  I guess you could call me old school ;)

Although I was listening to some live Petty earlier today and for a straight up bassist, Ron Blair cant be beat......

Still, Wooten...Holy Cow

If you're posting on this forum, you owe it to yourself to check out Corb Lund (he's a Canuck, so we should all thank Thrawn, since they all know each other up there).

Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier! (live)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa7N7MsTp80

The live version of Horse Soldier doesn't do it justice, though the comment that "[This song] is for all the nerds like me who stay up all night watching world war II documentaries" The line "with a crack flanking manuever, I'm an Ulahn Alles Uber striking terror into regiments afoot" makes me awful proud.

You know what always chaps my ass? "Long cool woman in a black dress" isn't by CCR.

Under normal circumstances, I could give a toejam, but the idea that Allan Clarke could sound  more like John Fogerty, than John himself is puzzling to me. I mean, compare "Bus Stop" to "Long cool woman" I reall wish I better understood what was gong on there. It really seems like those to would have had to have been connected.
