Kasim Sulton – Bass We all loved this record back in the day but the trouble with a lot of it was that the bass was mixed very much so it would be felt rather than heard. Kasim Sulton was the bass player but we couldn’t do anything about it then so just had to…

Mel Schacher – Bass Another one mentioned on a Facebook forum that someone needed a chart for. If I am honest, I am not entirely convinced that I have the geography right on this so it should be approached with appropriate caution. All the riffs are there but the fills may not sync exactly with…

Kenny Gradney – Bass Another request from the website staunchest supporter, this is the bass part to the Little Feat tune, ‘Let It Roll’ from the 1988 album of the same name. Great groove from bass player Gradney and drummer, Ritchie Hayward. Can you believe it, I got to jam with Ritchie Hayward. I was…

Mel Schacher – Bass Someone asked for this on one of the Facebook threads. It’s very simple and a nice easy read if you are not up for the Jeff Berlin charts yet. Melvin George Schacher (born April 8, 1951) is an American musician who is the bassist and a founding member of the hard rock…

Lincoln Goines – Bass At the risk of repeating myself, a mainstay of the New York City jazz/Latin/studio scene since the early 1980s, Goines’ career includes performance credits as sideman to Sonny Rollins, Paquito D’Rivera, Michel Camilo, Mike Stern, and Carly Simon. He is also an educator and author, having written “Funkifying The Clave: Afro-Cuban Grooves for Bass and Drums” with…

Mike Rutherford – Bass Another from the Genesis songbook, this is the tune ‘Mad Man Moon’ from the 1976 Genesis album, ‘A Trick Of The Tail’. Some nice proggy moments here – sections in 7:8 with odd bars inserted here and there to screw around with any fool who wants to transcribe it.

Geddy Lee – Bass Wine, Baseballs and basses. Well, a man needs a hobby. From the first album, Rush (it seems odd writing ‘Lifeson/Lee’ in the composer box instead of Lee/Lifeson and the new guy’). This was the line-up with John Rutsey on drums, the world’s unluckiest diabetic! The tune is ‘Finding My Way’. The…

Nico Assumpção – Bass Born Antônio Álvaro Assumpção Neto in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1954. His father was a professional bass player, but Nico debuted in music by playing the acoustic guitar at the age of 10, having classes with Paulinho Nogueira. He changed to bass at 16, to fill in the void in a schoolmate’s band. At age of…
