    Modern bassists with a unique style?

    Guys like Bootsy, Flea, Jaco, or Geddy Lee--those guys all have a style you can smell a mile a way when you hear one of their basslines. Nowdays everyone kind of blends together, I can't think of a player that has a unique technique or note choice that identifies them. Any ideas? Thundercat and...

    Modern James Jamerson?

    Are there any more recent session bassists (or bassists in general) who have some mad skills like James Jamerson? All I ever hear about are the people like Jamerson, Donald Duck Dunn, and Carol Kaye, but I'm curious if there's anyone in the past 10 years or so like them. Thanks in advance!

    Fender Modern Era Telecaster Bass

    Hi So.. I own a Fender Modern Era Telecaster Bass. They were only produced in 2013 (crafted in China) and they are quiet rare to find. Until one week ago I had only played 3 times, and all those 3 were back in 2014. It has an amazing sound, but I'd like something more. Something like late 60's...

    Any relatively modern Bootsy bass with natural tone (no effects)?

    I've seen old Bootsy footage (with James Brown), and he's clearly a monster bassist. In looking for more recent stuff (even in the last 25 years or so), I find it difficult to identify his lines or even enjoy his basswork, as I wish he still used more classic, unaffected tones on occasion. I...
