Nelson was with the band for the first few years, until he left in 1971 over finances. During that time, Collins spent a year playing for James Brown. Then Collins joined the band when Nelson left.

Bootsie joined in the 70s after he left James Brown.

Bill Bass was founding member and you can see/hear him play at the link I provided above.

Great bass player in a truly great band.
