Stephen Stills (CSN&Y, Joni Mitchell)

Renowned for his iconic status as a singer, songwriter, recording artist, and guitarist, Stephen Stills, akin to his contemporary Ronnie Wood, is an exemplary bassist.

 

Stills simultaneously serves as both a melodic player given to upper register motifs, and a pocket player on various CSN&Y sessions and permutations thereof, and with Joni Mitchell. His work on the debut CSN self-titled slab (1969) stands among the greatest rock bass albums of any era. Stills weapons of choice include Fender and Guild basses.
