RutgersJetFan Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 It's crazy to say it but Bruce is crazy underrated as a bassist. He pioneered hard rock bass playing, and changed the perception of the instrument with the way he was able to manipulate a short scale. He gets lost in the shuffle because that was the golden age for rock bassists, but he certainly belongs in the discussion when you're talking about JPJ or Entwistle. If you want to learn how to play the right way, you're best off studying either of those two guys, but if you want to learn how to play like a badass, listen to Jack Bruce.

kelticwizard Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I really thought he was underrated as a vocalist. I loved Disraeli Gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 RIP Jack Bruce. He was not only an incredible bass player but a great songwriter and singer. "Theme From An Imaginary Western", from this obscure solo album (really good BTW), is one of the best songs to come out of the 60s-70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxgreen Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Funny for how great a musician he never got the credit he deserved for popularizing electric bass. This is probably because John Entwistle dominated the instrument for half a century. Bruce ' s first two solo albums are classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then with Cream Bruce was considered a bass God. At least for me the difference between Entwistle and Bruce was in their sound. Both guys could play their asses off. Entwistle set the bar with that RotoSound chunk while Bruce had a deeper jazzier feel. Make any sense? Really glad you heard of those albums.
