Dang, how did I forget Entwhistle, Macca, Dusty Hill and Tommy Shannon????

I do notice that most of my favorites have been playing for at least 30 years.

I'm trying to be reasonable - the list covers the people I truly listened too in my formative years - Gustafson, McCoy, Turner - they were all people I saw many times, but the (amended) list is possibly more truthful for me; heck, McCoy offered me a shot at his slot in a band, how can he not be an influence, considering his agressive style of playing, probably seen him play more times than I saw anyone - I "listened" to Macca, but not to his "playing", just the ensemble, whereas even if CSI is playing my wife knows better than to fast-forward beyond the credits - Jack Bruce was an influence, but I played Montrose to absolute death and saw Bill Church numerous times - when it comes to an utterly overdriven bass sound, it had to be Lemmy or Felix. I was also influenced by Lamar Williams; Dusty Hill's simple driving bottom-end too  - Jaco and Clarke came later - more as a listen than a true influence...

Ya know, Dusty Hill is one of those guys that I never thought would make a "favorites" list. Don't get me wrong, I really like him, I never thought too many people appreciated him. It took me a long time to get his simple root note only approach. When ZZ Top was a new thing, I was a very busy type of player and I thought that anyone who wasn't a busy type player simply couldn't play very good. After trying to play busy type bass parts to ZZ Top songs and having the bottom drop out every time, I realized how good he and his simple rock solid method were :o.

That approach makes sense.  I listed people who had what might be considered more of a direct influence than anything else.  In some cases, these are bassists I was influenced by more by circumstances than by personal choice.  I didn't actually list what I considered the top ten important bassists or my personal top ten favorites.  Also, I agree that on lists such as these it makes perfect sense to try to place more emphasis on early formative influences.

I share many of the same bass players as many of you, but I have to make a mention of George Porter Jr, as that was my dad's name, I am the III. I waited outside of a Gov't Mule concert to meet George Porter Jr & show him my drivers license as kind of a joke. I asked him if he ever liked playing any short scale Gibson basses like Allen Woody, it didn't sound like it. Through the years, calling many stores, asking questions about a bass they had for sale, many sales people would get excited thinking I was George Porter Jr............ Sorry!
