YOUR FAVORITE BASSIST

[Guest Xourque]

I went with Chris Squire of Yes. That man can do some amazing things with his fingers.. That sounded dirty.

Geddy Lee, of Rush.

Well duh!

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Dweezil]

Why isn't Flea on this list??

 

 

Anyway, that's my fav bassist.

[barney_rebel]

If it is a bassist other than Geddy - then Victor Wooten.

[barney_rebel]

Depending on style Victor Wooten might not count. I also like Peter Hook from New Order.

[ES-335]

Geddy ... but other than Geddy, then Squire or John Deacon of Queen.

[PuppetKing2112]

How could you leave off John Entwhistle? That's who I would have voted for, so i went with Other.

[barney_rebel]

John Paul Jones?

 

Sting?

 

Billy Sheehan?

[Moonraker]

Too many greats are left out

 

Entwistle gets my pick, but Steve Harris and Cliff Burton deserve thier attention as well.

[barney_rebel]

Doug Wimbish from Living Color was good too - used a lot of cool effects.

[kazzman]

Glenn Barry of Kamelot.

Harris and Burton are two of my favs.

 

Besides Geddy of course

 

Of those two I have to go with Harris only because without him Maiden will not go on he is the back bone of the band.

Burton was a master who died way before his time.

Like many people here, Ged is one of my favourite bassists. However, one of my other faves has got to be Greg Lake - some of the stuff he did on Tarkus and Brain Salad Surgery is absolutely phenomenal. Add top that the fact that he could switch from bass to guitar in an instant.

My second-favorite bassist (to Geddy) is Adam Clayton of U2. New Year's Day is an amazing song.

Jason Newstead

That is a fun song to play on the bass.

[Mustard Death]

Either Wooten or Peter Digorgio (of Spastic Ink) get my votes. And there's of course Geddy heh.

[Guest Xourque]

Crap, I forgot to mention "OTHER THAN GEDDY LEE, WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE.."

[esmeralda]

I miss Glenn Bary of Kamelot and Marco Hietala of Nightwish..what about Ollie of Rammstein, and someone I can highly recommend: Barend Courbois, he's one of the most fabous bassists in our country, and I'm proud to call him a good friend of mine!

This is him:

Sorry, I had to choose OTHER and go with Geezer Butler of Sabbath.

Uumm, where's Victor Wooten???????

 

Oh and BTW, Roger Waters barely played any of the bass lines on their most popular songs. David Gilmour played them because Roger was too f*cked up.

Agreed on Wooten and Waters. And as much as I love Kansas, when I think of the best bassists, I don't think of Billy Greer. He's certainly capable, but not in the same company as the best on that list. And where's Flea? AND......where's Jaco?????
