BASSINFLUENCES

Which musician influenced your feel more than your note choices?

Influences are not always about copying licks or sounds. Sometimes a player changes how you think about space, timing, dynamics, or confidence.

Who influenced the way you feel time or support a band, even if you do not sound anything like them? I am especially interested in examples where the influence is subtle rather than obvious.

James Jamerson for movement, but also for how the line still serves the song.

For me it was Tina Weymouth. Simple parts, but the placement and attitude are everything.

A drummer actually influenced my bass feel more than another bassist. Listening to Clyde Stubblefield changed how I hear space.
