Fav/best bass players!

Some people might find Rush boring..but they're a rock band you don't see much of anymore; just three members..who excel on all their instruments.



(although "Muse" seems kinda like that)

And, a band still pumping out great quality music to sold out crowds. No classic act is doing that today. That includes, the Stones, AC/DC, Aerosmith, etc. They still rely on their hits from the past to lure fans to concerts. Rush uses the past and the present to thrill their fans.

Fieldy from KoRn... slap bass is the shit!

He is not the best but he is my favorite ...Billy Sheehan

Bill Dickens for the most impressive/useless solos:



Colin Moulding of XTC for the most perfect bass lines of all time:

Colin Moulding of XTC for the most perfect bass lines of all time:

A great song from my favourite XTC album of all time, Oranges & Lemons!

I still say Geddy Lee. No one comes close.

Tal was well mentioned. She'll one day be a very common name in discussions of bass masters.

But what of MeShelle Ndegeocello, the miles davis of the bass? The tasty tease of her jam at the beginning is an example - she's easiest one of the best Pockets in the world, yet, she old gives you so much. But trust: her discs are legendary.


Bill Laswell with 94 albums out there and still jamming?


Marrrrrrrrcus Dahling - I mean anyone who can get her to purr that line as an intro to a piece, has to be Earthaworthy...


Hedge's favorite:



And of course, Sticks with stones will rock our bones, Tony, Pat, etc...

[Marinus]

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Jack Bruce ....



btw Punk Rock?

Mike Watt is pretty good, but how about Dug E. Bird (Birdzell) from Beefeater, Larry Boothroyd from Victims Family and last but not least: NoMeansNo's Rob Wright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Rob_Wright_in_Trento.jpg" class="image" title="Rob Wright in Trento, Italy (2010)">
