chinchu Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 I'm a bass player so I want to do this right... Richard Bona (My all time favorite) Victor Wooten Jacko Pastorius Jason Scheff (From Chicago) Gerardo Carrillo (He's mexican, if you haven't listened to him, please do) John Myung Stu Hamm
Tony Baloni Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah, Vic Wooten is somethin else, man.

Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Bass Players Here's an old thread you might find interesting.
chinchu Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report 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...
daslied Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 I can't speak for most people, but I put him here because he is an increbibly talented and underappreciated bass player.
chinchu Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Posted March 11, 2008 I can't speak for most people, but I put him here because he is an increbibly talented and underappreciated bass player. He is EXTREMELY talented... But still not one of the best bass players...
The Seeker Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Not one person in this thread mentioned John Entwistle? The bass player of the millennium? Edited March 11, 2008 by Guest too upset to pay attention to spelling
The Seeker Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 In that case, you're all forgiven! (get it? get it?)
Levis Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Fleeeeea!! What? He's been done? oops! Okay okay... Simon Jones of the Verve... case in point: Life's An Ocean. Or Slide Away. Or Echo Bass. Well... let's leave it at: he's good.
TheLizard Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Flea and John Entwistle are obvious to me. I've always admired McCartney's playing too.
Foolonthehill Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 I've always been partial to Chris Squire. wow, I'm really starting to like you Tony.
Jim in Pa Posted March 12, 2008 Report 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... Jim
Foolonthehill Posted March 12, 2008 Report 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.
