Everyone knows all about the world’s best bass players –
Victor Wooten, Geddy Lee, John Paul Jones, etc. – but there is a multitude of
amazing bass players out there that you may not know who have done some truly amazing
work. The team at BassCentral.com is proud to introduce you to five amazing
bass players you probably don’t know:
- Rockette Morton – Also known as Mark Boston, this fine gentleman laid down the low end for Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica album. If you want to be blown away, check out his work in the song “Doctor Dark” from Lick My Decals Off, Baby.
- Charles Mingus – Many rock players don’t give enough credit to this groundbreaking jazz leader. Check out his superior chops on “Haitian Fight Song” from The Clown
- Scott Thunes – Playing with Zappa in his later years, Thunes helped bring tight low end to songs like “Valley Girl” from Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Downing Witch.
- John Taylor – Working with both Duran Duran and their off-shoot group Power Station, Taylor had a unique style unlike other 80s players. Listen to “The Reflex” from Seven and the Ragged Tiger.
- Charlie Haden – Have you checked out Haden’s work with Ornette Coleman? You need to hear every single song from The Shape of Jazz to Come immediately!
After checking out these players, you can pick up electric bass guitars, basses,
