Fav/best bass players!

[cookiepuss]

edit: Sid Vicious has to be on this list.

Why he could not play bass,when the Pistols played live his Amp was turned down and Steve Jones the guitarist used to play in a lower key.
Never Mind The Bollocks was recorded when Vicious was in hospital suffering from yellow jaundice.Steve Jones played both bass and lead on that record.
Sid was a puppet,the real Pistols bass player and the original was Glenn Matlock.
Rant over.

C'mon, I (we) know the story. Give Sid a chance

Not really a bassist but a multi-instrumentalist, John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. That bassline in Ramble On is one of my favourite things ever.



Paul Simonon of The Clash, the bassline in London Calling was one of the things that caused me to buy a bass guitar in high school.



Matt Freeman of Rancid, the other reason I bought a bass in high school, specifically the 58 second mark of this song, .
