Inspired by jblack's guitarist thread, we have some really great bassists at the festival can we get some love for the low end?

Also, my intentions for this thread were for electric bass only. FWIW, I love bluegrass and upright bass but it's too difficult to compare the two.
P.S.
The bassist in the Jeff Sipe Trio is amazing as well but I am not sure what his name is

Phil is the man who inspired me to start playing bass 36 years ago. Still inspiring to me after all this time.
Porter, schools and oteil are pretty fucking good too.

Wait a second, are you sure George Porter is a touring member of Warren's band? I thought he just played on the album.
Post by gangleader on Sept 1, 2013 19:04:59 GMT -5
O snap. I didn't realize George Porter was going to be there!!!
Post by fuzzy on Sept 1, 2013 19:59:31 GMT -5
George was not there when I saw Warren Haynes Band.
Post by cosmiccharlie1028 on Sept 1, 2013 20:09:13 GMT -5
He wasn't playing with them when I saw them, but that was like 2011. George Porter Jr is great.
As much as I love Phil, Schools is the man. WSMFP!
A lot of good Bass players here. Otiel is awesome too.

Wow that's devastating. Was really looking forward to seeing him.
"His cast of world-class players includes a trio of New Orleans R&B kingpins: bass legend George Porter, Jr. of the Meters, keyboardist-singer Ivan Neville and drummer Raymond Webber, who helped Haynes nail Man in Motion's R&B-, blues- and soul-soaked grooves." taken from www.locknfestival.com/artists/warren-haynes
Re-reading it I see that it does say they helped nail the studio album but yea it looks like he's not a member of the touring band.

Please, there should not even be a question here...
In Phil We TRUST!

Phil hands down. Wish Jack Cassady was coming though
Post by turtsmcslow on Sept 2, 2013 21:29:39 GMT -5
Ditto on that. I've seen George quite a few times and he and Phil can drop some bombs!

If you have never seen the great George Porter Jr. then you are missing out on some of the finest bass playing ever. He has a blast while doing it as well. IMHO, he can go toe to toe with Phil any day of the week. And I love me some Phil. I was at this show and there were maybe 50 people at most. They played a really long show and their hearts out for those of us that showed up. George has some good pipes on him too.

Ron Johnson is Warren Haynes band bass player. Nigel Hall plays keys. Ron Holloway plays sax. Alicia Chakour sings back up. That's all I know off the top of my head about WHB. Oh yeah, I'll go with Jenny Keel for favorite bass player. Not skill wise obviously, but she's always having a blast
