chinchu 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I don't think Paul McCartney should fall in Best Bass players of all time category... People think that of him simply because he's Paul McCartney... Sorry but it's true... Link to post Share on other sites

Jim in Pa 0 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Chris Squire would be one of my first picks too. Being a lead guitarist I dont/didnt pay much attention to bass players, as long as they kept the it tight with the drummer and held a good solid tight rythm beat for the rest of us to follow...

Foolonthehill 0 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well yes I agree with you Jim and that is what makes Chris Squire so great: he goes beyond rhythm and plays melody. Link to post Share on other sites
