THE SIXTY GREATEST BASS PLAYERS OF ALL TIME

The sixty greatest bass players of all time? Personally I would have put Paul McCartney higher than #7 and Chris Squire higher than #20, and possibly I should have been on there (only joking on the last count). But check it out. There are quite a few Gonzo-related bassists on there...


Yes legend Chris Squire is synonymous with the dynamic growl of his rare export model Rickenbacker RM1999, a sound that has been a feature of his band's output since their 1969 debut. Rickenbacker would later honour Squire with the 4001CS signature model, its body and neck shape slightly tweaked to the Yes man's specifications.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
