  4. There's been some male bassists mentioned , so what about our own Pino Palladino from Wales

    Very distinctive sound , as featured on some Paul Young songs and this one from Gary Numan

     
  5. Taka Hirose of FEEDER..

    Watched him front row ten feet away playing this very guitar. Awesome.. One of the best music nights i’ve had.. X

  8. The last time I had hair was almost 2 decades ago, so “if only”!

    My nominees are:

    Larry Graham - inventor of the “slap bass” technique (Sly and the Family Stone then Graham Central Station)

    William “Bootsy” Collins (James Brown and then Parliament Funkadelic)

    Brown Mark (Prince and the Revolution then Mazerati)

    Flea (Red Hot Chilli Peppers)
