Now let's see, we have on the bags

- we have Who's on first, What's on second,

I Don't Know's on third.

 

Costello: That's what I wanna find out.

 

Abbott: I say Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third -

 

Costello: You know the fellows' names?

 

Abbott: Certainly!

 

Costello: Well then who's on first?

 

Abbott: Yes!

 

Costello: I mean the fellow's name!

 

Abbott: Who!

 

Costello: The guy on first!

 

Abbott: Who!

 

Costello: The first baseman!

 

Abbott: Who!

 

Costello: The guy playing first!

 

Abbott: Who is on first!

 

Costello: Now whaddya askin' me for?

 

Abbott: I'm telling you Who is on first.

 

Costello: Well, I'm asking YOU who's on first!

 

Abbott: That's the man's name.

 

Costello: That's who's name?

 

Abbott: Yes.

 

Costello: Well go ahead and tell me.

 

Abbott: Who.

 

Costello: The guy on first.

 

Abbott: Who!

 

Costello: The first baseman.

 

Abbott: Who is on first!

 

Costello: Have you got a contract with the first baseman?

 

Abbott: Absolutely.

 

Costello: Who signs the contract?

 

Abbott: Well, naturally!

 

Costello: When you pay off the first baseman

every month, who gets the money?

 

Abbott: Every dollar. Why not? The man's entitled to it.

 

Costello: Who is?

 

Abbott: Yes. Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.

 

Costello: Who's wife?

 

Abbott: Yes.

 

Costello: All I'm tryin' to find out is

what's the guy's name on first base.

 

Abbott: Oh, no - wait a minute, don't switch

'em around. What is on second base.

 

Costello: I'm not askin' you who's on second.

 

Abbott: Who is on first.

 

Costello: I don't know.

 

Abbott: He's on third - now we're not talkin' 'bout him.

 

Costello: Now, how did I get on third base?

 

Abbott: You mentioned his name!

 

Costello: If I mentioned the third baseman's name,

who did I say is playing third?

 

Abbott: No - Who's playing first.

 

Costello: Never mind first - I wanna know

what's the guy's name on third.

 

Abbott: No - What's on second.

 

Costello: I'm not askin' you who's on second.

 

Abbott: Who's on first.

 

Costello: I don't know.

 

Abbott: He's on third.

 

Costello: Aaah! Would you please stay on

third base and don't go off it?

 

Abbott: What was it you wanted?

 

Costello: Now who's playin' third base?

 

Abbott: Now why do you insist on putting Who on third base?

 

Costello: Why? Who am I putting over there?

 

Abbott: Yes. But we don't want him there.

 

Costello: What's the guy's name on third base?

 

Abbott: What belongs on second.

 

Costello: I'm not askin' you who's on second.

 

Abbott: Who's on first.

 

Costello: I don't know.

 

Abbott & Costello: THIRD BASE!!!

 

Costello: You got an outfield?

 

Abbott: Oh yes!

 

Costello: The left fielder's name?

 

Abbott: Why.

 

Costello: I don't know, I just thought I'd ask you.

 

Abbott: Well, I just thought I'd tell you.

 

Costello: Alright, then tell me who's playin' left field.

 

Abbott: Who is playing first-

 

Costello: STAY OUTTA THE INFIELD! I wanna

know what's the left fielder's name.

 

Abbott: What's on second.

 

Costello: I'm not askin' you who's on second.

 

Abbott: Who's on fir-

 

Costello: I don't know.

 

Abbott & Costello: THIRD BASE!!!

 

Costello: The left fielder's name?

 

Abbott: Why.

 

Costello: Because!

 

Abbott: Oh, he's center field.

 

Costello: Look, you gotta pitcher on this team?

 

Abbott: Now wouldn't this be a fine team without a pitcher.

 

Costello: The pitcher's name.

 

Abbott: Tomorrow.

 

Costello: You don't wanna tell me today?

 

Abbott: I'm tellin' you now.

 

Costello: Then go ahead.

 

Abbott: Tomorrow.

 

Costello: What time?

 

Abbott: What time what?

 

Costello: What time tomorrow are you

going to tell me who's pitching?

 

Abbott: Now listen. Who is not pitching. Who is on fir-

 

Costello: I'll break your arm if you say Who's on first.

I wanna know what's the pitcher's name.

 

Abbott: What's on second.

 

Costello: I don't know.

 

Abbott & Costello: THIRD BASE!!!

 

Costello: You got a catcher?

 

Abbott: Oh, absolutely.

 

Costello: The catcher's name.

 

Abbott: Today.

 

Costello: Today. And Tomorrow's pitching.

 

Abbott: Now you've got it.

 

Costello: All we've got is a couple of days on the team.

 

Abbott: Well, I can't help that.

 

Costello: Well, I'm a catcher too.

 

Abbott: I know that.

 

Costello: Now suppose that I'm catching, Tomorrow's

pitching on my team and their heavy hitter gets up.

 

Abbott: Yes.

 

Costello: Tomorrow throws the ball. The batter bunts

the ball. When he bunts the ball, me being a

good catcher, I wanna throw the guy out

at first base. So I pick up the ball and throw it to who?

 

Abbott: Now that's the first thing you've said right.

 

Costello: I don't even know what I'm talkin' about!

 

Abbott: Well, that's all you have to do.

 

Costello: Is to throw the ball to first base.

 

Abbott: Yes.

 

Costello: Now who's got it?

 

Abbott: Naturally!

 

Costello: If I throw the ball to first base,

somebody's gotta catch it. Now who caught it?

 

Abbott: Naturally!

 

Costello: Who caught it?

 

Abbott: Naturally.

 

Costello: Who?

 

Abbott: Naturally!

 

Costello: Naturally.

 

Abbott: Yes.

 

Costello: So I pick up the ball and I throw it to Naturally.

 

Abbott: NO, NO, NO! You throw the ball to first base and Who gets it?

 

Costello: Naturally.

 

Abbott: That's right. There we go.

 

Costello: So I pick up the ball and I throw it to Naturally.

 

Abbott: You don't!

 

Costello: I throw it to who?

 

Abbott: Naturally.

 

Costello: THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!

 

Abbott: You're not saying it that way.

 

Costello: I said I throw the ball to Naturally.

 

Abbott: You don't - you throw the ball to Who?

 

Costello: Naturally!

 

Abbott: Well, say that!

 

Costello: THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING! I throw the ball to who?

 

Abbott: Naturally.

 

Costello: Ask me.

 

Abbott: You throw the ball to Who?

 

Costello: Naturally.

 

Ab Color bott: That's it.

 

Costello: SAME AS YOU! I throw the ball to first base and who gets it?

 

Abbott: Naturally!

 

Costello: Who has it?

 

Abbott: Naturally!

 

Costello: HE BETTER HAVE IT! I throw the ball to first base.

Whoever it is grabs the ball, so the guy

runs to second. Who picks up the ball and

throws it to What, What throws it to

I Don't Know, I Don't Know

throws it back to Tomorrow - triple play.

 

Abbott: Yes.

 

Costello: Another guy gets up

- it's a long fly ball to Because. Why?

I don't know. He's on third and I don't give a darn!

 

Abbott: What was that?

 

Costello: I said I don't give a darn!

 

Abbott: Oh, that's our shortstop.

First off it's BASS, and secondly the best rock bassist...yes...but overall no one touches the jazz bassist victor wutten..don't know if that's how you spell his last name...but that guy is incredible...when he picks up the bass, it's like he's playing the bass and guitar at teh same time...he is by far the best ever...in jazz, but rock bassist it is deffinetely dirk!

I think the question is too subjective for an unbiased answer on this forum. Geddy is, without doubt, the best bassist for his particular style and scores highly in the versatility stakes. However, I've only eve heard him play Rush style music, varied as that may be.

 

Is he as good a jazz bassist as Jaco Pastorius was?

Is he as good a funk bassist as the guy from Parliament?

Is he as good a reggae bassist as Robbie Shakespeare?

Is he as good a fretless/pop bassist as Pino Palladino?

 

If the answers to the above, and many others, are yes then he can be called the greatest bassist.

 

However, it is unlikely that it will be possible to compare him to every bassist playing ever style in the world so the answer must be maybe. Geddy could well be the best bassist in the world, I don't know.

 

I do know, however, that he is the best at what he does.
