  Welcome to the Bass Players Hall Of Fame! After years of thinking about it, I've started this blog to pay homage to the many great, talented bass players in the world who have caught my ear, blown my mind, and sometimes inspired my own approach to the instrument. The bass is often the forgotten instrument, seen as little more than a limited backing contributor, or even worse, the choice of musicians who aren't very good on guitar! Certainly, and sadly, that is sometimes a fair assessment, but I aim to bring the spotlight to some of the many bassists who have brought the instrument to the fore in one way or another, with skill, creativity or just sheer grit and grind. Not everyone featured here will be a virtuoso. What counts is the feeling.

  Posts with a brief profile of a featured bassist will appear here irregularly and in no particular order. I sincerely hope all you fellow bass-lovers will enjoy this space for showing our respects to these titans of bass.
  To fat strings and low frequencies!
