Gonna be cheeky here with the first one as you've pretty much covered the names I would have suggested...

Berry Oakley had a great voice but only recorded one with him singing with the Allmans...

and how about Randy Meisner, a very distinctive singer and no slouch on the bass...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Yes he was. And that photo makes me wonder again about his mystery P-bass. I know it's come up in the past elsewhere but never resolved. It was some sort of parts bass. It had a 2+2 headstock with what appeared to be a Fender logo.

I've always wondered about that bass too. I've seen a clip of him with that 2 +2 Fender also.

Three pages and no Peter Cetera (Chicago), Tom Evans (Badfinger)... or Gene Simmons! ???



I was looking through to see if anyone mentioned Peter Cetera, he doesn't get his dues often, he was one of the greats and did sing lead quite a bit unlike many of the people posted here. He has a great voice and was one of the top bassists back then, had a great P bass and later Gibson sound, was also one of the greatest pick style bassists. I have heard that he has again picked up the bass.

I like Cetera too, but someone should have broken his fingers when he started to play keyboards. Would have been better for Chicago too. He played an EB-3 and later on a Ripper, his endorsement pic with a natural Ripper is perhaps the most famous Ripper ad.

I mentioned John Waite earlier in this thread.
Yesterday I met him. Stonefly was support act and they used our gear.
I spoke to John very briefly. He immediately spotted my Gibson Triumph.
I asked him about the Zemaitis and he told me he used to have two, but one got stolen. He still treasures the other one.

He doesn't seem to have aged too much. His voice is still great.
His band was still trying to find their feet, but altogether it was a pretty good concert.
A lot heavier than I had expected from his last -mainly acoustic- albums.
John didn't play any bass. He did play some guitar on his acoustic, at the sound check and a song or two during the gig.

Plays gee-tar and bass, and sings a little!

John Doe (X) and Craig Bloxom (Spy V. Spy)
John Doe's voice is just amazing, and Bloxom could belt it out with the best of 'em.

2 of my all-time favorites.  Actually, going to see X tomorrow night in Chapel Hill, NC.

He was on the cover of Bass Player magazine sometime last year. Great article - should have been longer. When you start listening to Chicago's early stuff you become acutely aware of what a great player he was/is. I'd like to see him put out something new with him on bass...

Chicago was incredible instrumentally - super tight, right on the money all the time...and the bass lines were excellent.

I saw Chicago and the Doobie bros. last summer at Fiddler's Green in Denver; they were/are touring together.  Aug. 1 I'm going to see ZZ Top and Santana there!!

What a great clip, he has that great sound right out of the box too. Was Cetera touring with Chicago again and hopefully playing bass? I'd definitely go see them, those guys could play.
