Best Bassist

Klay

We've had best band, guitarist, living guitarist, etc.
Often overlooked...there'd be no Groove without them, Bless 'em!

Anyway, I'd say Les Claypool from Primus.

Send your opinions...

Best Looking Bassist: Hillary Woods - JJ72

Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham! You just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."
hello.

Hmmm..She sucks at playing though..Squeaky Voice had to actually teach her how to play

I think D'Arcy is better looking anyway

I would have to agree.

black_wizardd

Stu Ham -> plays with Satriani, an absolute god on bass.

Or

Steve Harris -> Iron Maiden.

Can't decide.

Shiminay

John Paul Jones or Flea...

Kim Deal.......

Kim Deal is class! And so is that Chili Peppers guy. And Keith Moon was excellent aswell.

/me waits for angelwhore to name the bassist from cradle of filth.

Anyway none can beat Derek Smalls
the best bass riff ever on "big bottoms"

Robin Eaglestone - Cradle of Filth

I'm in utter shock...

He's been named before I even get here...
And not only that, but you've actualy used his REAL name!

Anyway...

Robin Graves/Robin Mark Eaglestone - Cradle Of Filth
(haha, but I know that his middle name is Mark!)

Steve Harris - Iron Maiden

Pete Steele - Type O Negative

And for pure skill, it's a guy called Eddie D.
I doubt anyone here would have heard of him, but god... You'de have to hear him to beleive it. He's THAT good.

Off I go to create a best Drummer thread...

t-bag

Yis have definetly missed out on the best:
Jaco Pastorius - Without a shadow of a doubt the most skillful ever, alot mightn't find his freestyle jazz playin the easiest to listen to though, check out Teen Town, unreal bass, about the only bass song I haven't been able to play!
And theres more:

Marcus Miller
Flea
Charles Mingus
John Paul Jones
Bootsy Collins
Cliff Burton
Stanley Clarke
Larry Graham
Timmy C
Jack Bruce

Dr. Loon

Anyone ever heard of Stanley Clarke? He's an amazing bass player....I'd say either himself, Les Claypool or Cliff Burton.

Excelsior

Kim Deal is the bassist that I think most defines her band.
But Stefan Lessard of Dave Matthews must be the best.

Did John Squire play bass?!?

Ahh... Keith Moon was the DRUMMER with The Who.

Not really my cup of tea but Mark King from Level 42 is regarded as one of the best but I'd have to go with Kim Deal I think though at times like this it's hard to think of who I like and don't like.

And it wouldn't be fair not to support my avatar!

Definitely true - but he's dead does that still count?(what a way to go, as well. Smashed over the head with a Vodka bottle in a bar brawl )

Before you laugh Paul McCartney although not exactly innovative was pretty handy with the bass. Also Bootsy, Les Claypool(of course!) and the guy from SoundGarden(can't remember his name of hand?)

Squire didn't play bass in Stone Roses anyway, that was Mani's job

Squire composed the bass lines though.

Mani is a damn good bass player, has anyone heard Primal Scream's XTRMNTR album?

Timmy from Rage too...
