Best guitarist/bassist combination?

On the first page, but worth mentioning again:

Paul Kossoff and Andy Fraser of Free.

 

The Sunflower
The Mole

 

Bert Jansch and Danny Thompson

 

Les Holroyd/John Lees

 

Someone's already said Iommi/Butler so I'll go Fast Eddie/Lemmy, neither were virtuosos but they blended perfectly.

 

One highly underrated combination: the DeLeo brothers, Dean on guitar and Robert on bass, in Stone Temple Pilots.

 

John Martyn and Danny Thompson

 

Mark Knopfler and John Illsley

Andy Latimer and Colin Bass

 

At the risk of being a bit obscure, I though Steeleye Span's Robert Johnson & Rick Kemp were an amazing duo back in the day.

 

Rory Gallagher & Gerry McAvoy

Bloody brilliant if you ask me!

 

In 'rock' (the ones that stand out instantly for me):
Ramones
Cactus
Yardbirds/Cream/Led Zeppelin
Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna
Velvet Underground
Buffalo Springfield
Moby Grape
Flamin' Groovies
Mott The Hoople
Redd Kross
Teenage Fanclub
Pixies

Way too many to name in jazz/funk/R&B.

 

Django Reinhardt/Louis Vola

 

EC & JB

 

Tommy Tedesco guitar and Carol Kaye bass heart of the wrecking crew 64-66

 

Agree on Howe Squire but then again Banks Squire sounded great as well.

 

Peter Banks/Ray Bennett - Flash

 

First one that came to mind!

 

Shawn Lane and Jonas Hellborg is as sick of a guitar/bass pairing as you find, right up there with Allan Holdsworth and Jeff Berlin.

 

i didn't read through this entire thread, but i'm going to go ahead and add an additional pair--they may have been added already:
Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee -- they always seemed to have a very strong connection.

 

Curt and Cris Kirkwood

Neil Young and Bruce Palmer

 

Pat Metheny/Jaco Pastorius

 

Mike Rutherford.



Seriously. Check out Dance on a Volcano.

 

Robert? There's posh!

I agree with you though!

 

Bolder and Ronson
Asheton and Williamson
Dennis Dunaway and Bruce / Buxton

 

Leslie West and Felix Pappalardi
