I was musing, sorry, on this earlier. I appreciate Muse, but don't really know them. 'Knights of Cydonia', and an awesome live youtube video, is the extent of my knowledge, plus bits and bobs.

"I used to listen to a lot of jazz bass players once, but jazz has changed so much now, it’s hardly recognizable. I listened to a lot of tenor sax players: Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane and all those people. Bass players? Scott La Faro, who died. He used to be with (jazz pianist) Paul Chambers. Ray Brown and Charlie Mingus, of course. I’m not too keen on the lead bass style of some players. Paul McCartney, I’ve always respected; he puts the notes in the right place at the right time. He knows what he’s about."

Appointment With Danger : 'The Hook' ~ James Jamerson
"Cheese and crackers, Sunday’s frozen pitch and a thermos flask, 2 AM texts and mornings of regret, none of them pair quite as synonymously as The Beatles and The Beach Boys. They were two of the most defining bands of the sixties, who both shared the uncanny knack of straddling genres and pushing forth into pastures anew, not to mention the harmonies. As the bands developed alongside each other, their styles and influence would entwine. As Paul McCartney said of Brian Wilson and James Jamerson, his two favourite bass players, “Actually, he and Brian Wilson were my two biggest influences,” he added. “James just because he was so good and melodic. Brian because he went to very unusual places. Brian would use, if you were playing in C, he might stay on the G a lot just to hold it all back, and I started to realise the power you had within the band.” But as ever the relationship was a two-way street and Brian Wilson’s favourite Beatles track would go on to have a heavy influence on The Beach Boys sound that followed. When discussing Rubber Soul, the record that marked a coming of age for The Beatles following their famed meeting with Bob Dylan where McCartney discovered “the meaning of life”, Wilson recalled first hearing it, “It must have been in November of 1965. I was living in this house in the Hollywood Hills then, way up on Laurel Way, and I remember sitting in the living room one night talking with some friends when another friend came in with a copy of the Beatles’ new one, Rubber Soul, I don’t know if it had even come out yet. But he had it and so we put it on the record player and, wow. As soon as I started hearing it I loved it. I mean, LOVED it!” He champions ‘Michelle’ as a classic, but there is one song that stands out from the crowd for Wilson. “’Norwegian Wood’ is my favourite,” Wilson told TLS. “The lyrics are so good and so creative, right from the first line: “I once had a girl/ Or should I say, she once had me.” It’s so mysterious. Is he into her, or she into him? It just blew my mind. And in the end, when he wakes up and she’s gone, so he lights a fire. “Isn’t it good? Norwegian wood.” Is he setting her house on fire? I didn’t know. I still don’t know. I thought that was fantastic.” He then goes on to eulogise about instrumentation on the record, which achieved the Promethean feat of mixing world music with the world of rock ‘n’ roll. “I can’t forget the sitar too, I’d never heard that before, that unbelievable sound. No one had heard that in rock and roll back then, this amazing, exotic sound. It really inspired the instrumentation I ended up using for Pet Sounds.” The sitar in question was initially an instrument confined to the realm of Hindustani music. Then –inspired to wander the world aimlessly in search of nothing in particular by beat literature – beatniks, hippies and the occasional recently divorced Geography teacher, waved a middle finger to the suburbs and clambered aboard a spiritual bandwagon weaving a path to the answer-chocked lands of the past in Nepal and India. This was the start of the sitar’s rise."

_ 'The Bottom From The Top' ^ : Eric Haydock & Bernie Calvert
- -
> Eric Haydock ~ * Bass Sorcerer *
The six-string Fender bass was pioneered in rock music by the Hollies, but bassist Eric Haydock succumbed to stage fright and left the band in 1966 (attributing alleged managerial disputes), to be replaced by melodic bassist Bernie Calvert who'd played in the Dolphins with guitarist Tony Hicks and drummer Bobby Ellliott before becoming a member of the Hollies.
"Eric was a bad-ass bass player and a very funny man."
- Graham Nash remembers Eric Haydock
'Put Yourself In My Place' - The Hollies
The Who, The Cream, The Band, Soft Machine, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith were instrumental in developing the instrument on the main stage, as were 10CC whose co-founder Graham Gouldman had composed songs for the Hollies, the Yardbirds and Herman's Hermits in the 1960s.
< Bernie Calvert _ * Bass Glider *
' Fender Precision : When Bernie Calvert first joined The Hollies he used an early model of Fender Precision Bass that was still fitted with pickup and bridge covers. Calvert can be seen using this bass from 1966 to early 1967, resurfacing in 1969 on numerous recordings and live performances. It would remain in use until his departure in 1980.
Fender Jazz : In 1968 Calvert moved to an early model of Fender Jazz Bass that still fitted with pickup and bridge covers. Calvert acquired this model of the electric bass in early-1967 and used it on songs such as On A Carousel, Carrie-Anne, and King Midas in Reverse.
Rickenbacker 4000 : In the early 1970s Calvert acquired an early model Rickenbacker 4000, which was a single-pickup model that Calvert used throughout the 1970s in recording and performing. Though he would perform more often with the Precision, his Rickenbacker would be heard the most in 1970s recordings such as the Distant Light album. Calvert would use this bass until his departure from the band. '
- Wikipedia
The Hollies - 'Man Without A Heart'
The Everly Brothers' recorded a number of songs written by Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks and Graham Nash for their album 'Two Yanks In England' (1966). The Hollies joined Don Everly and Phil Everly in the studio for a series of recording sessions. John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page also worked on some of these sessions. The Everly Brothers appreciated Bernie Calvert's instrumental work which displayed his skills as a pianist as well as bassist.
'Signs That Will Never Change' - The Everly Brothers
MUSIC TRIVIA : The Pixies are said to have taken the first few bars from the bridge bassline from the Hollies' song 'Bus Stop' as the bassline/progression for their song, 'Hey'; 'Bus Stop' was written by Graham Gouldman. The Pixies recorded a version of the Yardbirds' hit song 'Evil Hearted You' in Spanish, another Gouldman composition.
