While I'm sure the answer you want for #1 is The Byrds, their contemporaries The Buffalo Springfield also had a fairly good mando picker as their bass player on their last recording.

So, assuming we're talking Chris for the 1st, his BG band would be The Hillmen (as I recall).

3'd be Ry Cooder

Peter Ostroushko

What does TSOP stand for??

I think the answer to #5 is Levon Helm (Helmsley?). But Im curious to know the Blood on the tracks picker.
