thestand Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 From first to less Les Claypool Victor Wooten Geddy Lee Flea Stefan Lessard I wasn't a fan of Entwhistle's style. Les Claypool I could listen to play unaccompanied all day. What an amazing bassist. Oh and GR, love the new avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tailwind Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Tied for #1..... Geddy Lee-Best bassist who uses his fingers Chris Squire-Best bassist who uses a pick #2.....Greg Lake #3.....John Entwhistle #4.....James Jamerson (the Funk Brothers) #5.....Whoever is playing that amazingly nasty, almost incomprehensible bass line on the song "Whatever Gets You Through The Night", by John Lennon. (The funkiest bass line ever!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestand Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 There's so many bassists that are great, but I couldn't listen to them without any accompaniment. Geddy is in that category. People like Les Claypool and Victor Wooten, I can listen to solo for hours. For video of both, check out Claypools '5 Gallons of Deisel', and for Wooten, check out "Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Live at the Quick". Both great DVD's.

PW_Guitarist Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 My personal faves: Geddy Lee: No explanation required. John Entwistle: One of the first really dynamic bass players and a influence on Geddy Lee. Chris Squire: great sound and innovative player. Steve Harris: I just love IM's galloping bass lines. Dave Meros (Spock's Beard): Not the most technical, but I love his originality. Geezer Butler: I always like the way he filled up Black Sabbath's sound. Les Claypool: Anybody who can make a bass sound like that deserves a nod. Other notables, but not necessarily my favorites: Stu Hamm, Tony Levin, Mark King, Jaco Pastorius, Victor Wooten, Steve Bailey, Billy Sheehan...
