There are many excellent and generally appreciated Classic Prog Bass Guitarists, like Squire, Lake, Lee, Wetton, Levin, Ray Shulman, Trewavas etc. And there are...the others, which aren't mentioned so often in various charts, polls and forums. They aren't weak at all, rather perhaps overshadowed by their band-mates. Who's your favourite? ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

...quoting the always quotable Julian Cope:
"Jannik Top! I’m shaking in me booties just thinking ‘bout him. Jannik Top was a Gene Simmons for people with their own IQ. He played the bass like a Tyrannosaurus Rex skinning a Stegosaurus. He was at least eight feet tall and had claws instead of hands. His bass sound made the night fall early, and kept the moon from rising at all. He didn’t have amplifiers, he just plugged straight into the National Grid and drained the neighbourhood..."
Need I say more? Sometimes it's not the player himself, but the context of his performance, and the music of Magma was always more challenging than Genesis or Camel. ------------- "we can change the world without anyone noticing the difference" - Franco Falsini |

| I don't know many of this bass players, and the ones I know I may not have payed enough attention to all of them in order to compare them. However, I do remember when I was first listening to Camel (earlier this year) that one of the first things to come to my attention was Fergusson's bass playing, which I found pretty nice and busy. I also remember liking one of the bass players from Focus, who sounded pretty jazzy, but don't really remember which one on from which album. As for Roger Waters, as much as I like Pink Floyd, I don't think I ever found him particularly interesting, I rather like Gilmour himself better as a bass player, or even Guy Pratt. |

Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond. This was his Tull made up name, his real name was Jeffrey Hammond but I have read that his mother's maiden name was also "Hammond". So when it came to the Tull made up name, Hammond-Hammond was the obvious choice! John Glascock should also be on this list. A far superior bass player to Jeffrey but not as crazy and also lacked the oblong striped Zebra suit and matching bass. Yes Jeffrey was right out there.

Not so sure I agree. I haven't heard the whole Sinclair's albums, but I have heard some songs with him on the Luna Sea compilation album, and on the "A Live Record" album, and in general I'm not impressed at all, while the albums with Ferguson were really great. Of course, I'm talking here about the creative input, not the bass-playing ability from each one. Still, when Camel got Sinclair instead of Ferguson they were suposed to want to go in a more complex direction, still the songs I've heard are rather simpler or just less interesting, they didn't encourage me to buy those two next albums. |

Seriously, Waters. He had a kind of style that was his own, and instantly recognizable. That slow thump with drummer Mason (also under-rated). He might not be Jaco, or Wetton or Geddy for that matter... but then, that wouldn't be Floyd, would it? He was instrumental to the sound of the band.

Posted By: Dellinger
Date Posted: January 17 2013 at 20:33
But I somehow like better the bass sound from Gilmour, or the bass sounds used on Pink Floyd after Waters left. Of course, without Waters Pink Floyd wouldn't have achieved even a fraction of what they did, so it was much better having him as a creative force and a bass player than not having him at all. But for what it's worth, I believe Pink Floyd without either Waters, Gilmour, or Wright wouldn't have achieved a fraction of what they achieved together, it's only Mason that I'm more doubtful about the importance of his input to the band. |

I think Mason's important as well. I mean, he's no Peart, sure. But Floyd was all about spaces between notes, less is more... Gilmour's solos were at half-speed, the Mason's beats, too... alot of space, haha. I wouldn't *want* Neil Peart in Floyd. It would sound like... I don't know, Eloy perhaps. (Who were good too :-)

Or that you think he is not so good but people in general think he is actually better than you consider him? |

However, it is two different things to write the music and to perform it. As it is two different things if the music is complex and if it is enjoyable. Now, I already stated that as far as writing I consider Waters essential for Floyd (and on the singing department too). As far as playing the bass, well they didn't need more anyways, and when they needed, Gilmour was a perfect fit if the sories are true. At least about the bass parts on Hey You, I do believe they are played by Gilmour, and I do like them a lot; and Waters surely wrote the guitar parts on that song, but surely it was Gilmour who played them, not Waters. I'm not really sure about other bass parts that Gilmour might have played for Floyd, except on "One of this Days", the beginning of which I understand was played by both Gilmour and Waters, and involved some overdubs. And indeed Waters wrote most of the Wall (as well as all of the Final Cut), and that's just the basis on which I say they were all important, because it shows in this two albums that they lacked the input from Gilmour and Wright, and not for the best, in my opinion. As for Mason, what I meant about not knowing how important he was for the band is on the writing, or the sound of the band. Indeed, the band didn't need anything more, but I would guess there would be other drummers capable of playing at the right speed and so on... though I may be wrong, he might just as well have been the perfect fit for the band. As a matter of fact, I do love his drumming on some of the earlier songs, like "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", specially the live versions, and I wish he had done more of that sort of drumming withing the band (though it might have been out of place from Dark Side of the Moon and aftewards). |

No, I don't think Pink Floyd had to carry Mason on their back, because they didn't need anything flashier than him. As you previously said, it would have been out of place. For that matter, I don't think the Beatles needed anything more than Ringo on their band either. |

I don't know where the notion that Waters wrote the guitar parts for Hey You comes from because according to Mason, Roger NEVER interfered with the guitar parts. Not even on The Final Cut. Gilmour also plays bass on Pigs, Sheep and parts of Shine On. There are a few more that I don't remember right now. And for an obscure fact; the intro to Money is played both with Roger on bass and Gilmour on guitar. It's what gives it that "fat" sound. I like Waters' bass playing though. He keeps a steady pace. I went to see a PF tribute band this summer and they played Dogs. They did it wee bit too slow which made it almost impossible to listen too. It was then it struck me that Waters has a funky groove that I enjoy. As for Mason's importance in the band, he was the one who often was in charge of the sound effects. And I can't think of a better drummer for Floyd. The guy's got taste and class and he knows when enough is enough. |

Well, Gilmour knew Syd Barret before all of the Pink Floyd thing, and suposedly it was Gilmour who taught Barrett to play the guitar. I'm not sure if that was the connection for which he was chosen to step in his place. |
Posted By: silverpot
Date Posted: January 19 2013 at 08:41
Here's an interesting little obscure fact about Syd and Gilmour: "Long before his decline, Syd had struggled with the role of the traditional guitar hero. ...Those close to Barrett at the time believe he was well aware of his shortcomings. Syd had expressed some insecurity about his playing in a letter to his old girlfriend Libby Gausden...mentioning a desire to recruit David Gilmour...but bemoaning the fact that Gilmour had his own band." The quotation is taken from the book Pigs Might Fly by Mark Blake. |

| Continuing on the Floyd topic, I believe that Rog never played a fretless bass, so 'A Pillow Of Winds' must have Gilmour on bass. Mason's drumming style is crucial to Floyd music. In fact, limited talent doth not hamper creativity - Mason contributed more than just drums to Floyd, just like their interest in architecture, the music of Floyd is built from simple foundations and reached for the sky. Gilmour is no Holdsworth, who cares, his long, sustained notes and attack are just heavenly. Wright was an excellent keyboardist, 'nuff said. I love Floyd, and owe it all to Floyd....... |

Many great bass players here, but as a bass player myself, I'd have to say the one who's playing grabs me the most among these is Doug Ferguson, especially on three of the 4 Camel albums he's played on, namely Mirage and the classics The Snow Goose and Moonmadness. Amazing basslines in there. Sinclair also had great moments with Camel, especially on Rain Dances and A Live Record, don't know much about what he previously did with Caravan though. ------------- "One likes to believe in the freedom of Music" - Neil Peart, The Spirit of Radio |

Sinclair with Caravan was fantastic. That's why I don't like his work with Camel that was of a lower level, IMO. I suggest checking also Hatfield and the North and the stupendous "Before A Word Is Said" with Gowen, Tomkins and Miller, a very moving album (check the story). ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.
