Who were the bass players in the Quarrymen Johnny and the Moondogs the Silver Beetles and the Beatles?
In the days of the Quarrymen, Bill Smith played what was called a tea chest bass, quite standard for skiffle groups. Unhappy that Smith performed at only two shows and rarely turned up for rehearsals, Lennon decided that he should be replaced by his friend Len Garry, "borrowing" Smith's bass in the process. When the choice of music changed from skiffle to rock and roll, the group had no bass player until Lennon urged his art college friend, Stu Sutcliffe, to buy a bass and join the band. Sutcliffe's bass playing was rudimentary and he often turned his back to the audience to hide his inadequacy as a musician. When Sutcliffe left the Beatles, Paul McCartney took over the role as the group's bassist.
