KnightofDoom Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Cliff Burton, ex-Metallica. Died in 1986 and had played on Metallica's albums Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. dam i hate when people do this lol. We know who the * he is. no need for facts to make yourself look cool. Flea is one crazy * bassist. If you look him up on putfile and that vid is sweet. James Jamerson Cliff Burton was sweet bassist too like he said..... :roll: :roll: :roll: not all people know who he is, especially with all the noobs on these messageboards, it was probably worth mentioning :roll: :roll: cliff burton for me too :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: if your posting in "best Bassist ever" why wouldn't you kno who cliff burton is? but yeah i guess some emo good person kids don't know or some kid who only watches bands on mtv. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: I'm an emo, and I knew who he was... so stop being dumb and steryotyping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danabis Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 and the bassist from Tool whose name I cannot remember. Justin Chancellor. He's a really weird bassist because he was actually a guitar player first. You can hear alot of that in his playing. My favourite bassists would be Cliff Burton, Geddy Lee, Roger Glover, Jimmy Bain and John Entwhistle. Dreaming of that face againIt's bright, and blue, and shimmeringGrinning wideAnd comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryderj716 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I for one didn'tt know who Cliff Burton is/was. I didn't know he was a bandmember from Metallica, and I didn't know he was dead. But then again, I guess I'm some "emo who only watches bands on MTV". " :roll: " QUIT THE FREAKING ROLL EYES; THEY DON'T SUIT YOU! Oh Btw Sunwarrior. Freddy Mercury from Queen, Bruce [bleep]inson from Iron Maiden, Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin and Rob Halford from Judas Priest are kick wagon vocalists. Like we don't know those guys came with those bands.

Lageris89 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Mudvayne's bassist is pretty good, sounds a lot different to most other bassists who tend to just follow the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AThousandLies Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Billy Gould from Faith No More is pretty good too. Seems the best bassists are play funk-rock; Billy Gould, as mentioned, Flea from RHCP and Les Claypool from Primus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Wes Borland from Limp Bizkit, now before I start geting flamed for saying someone from Limp Bizkit, just remember that it's not the band Limp Bizkit you hate, it's the voice behind them.. Fred Durst, besides Wes left Limp and strated his own band and even did a few shows with From First to Last and recorded bass for their new album coming out in March. Also check out the band The Tragic, Jon Weisburg is an amazing bassist, he was the former bassist of FFTL.And also the bassist for Mudvayne is insane.

jabraulter Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Victor Wooten (who was inspired by Jaco...so you can make a case either way). He is a pioneer of many bass techniques such as the amazing double-thumbing. Here's a link to a vid of him playing Amazing Grace. He starts of with just a nice solo. Then he goes into some faster stuff and ends up on Amazing Grace. This song is played on harmonics (technique originally spread by Jaco). He does some truly amazing things in this vid, so watch all the way through. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... tor+wooten (It's google...safe link) ------------- Second vid. Interested in some of the BEST slap bass/chicken-picking you've ever seen? Yeah, watch this vid. It's Vic and I think his bro who plays guitar having a sort of duet/battle. http://www.planetvids.com/html/Amazing- ... attle.html (Warning: That site contains some PG-13 material. Just in case you're worried) -------------------------------- Watch these vids, especially the second one, before you try and convince me otherwise. Victor Wooten is an amazing bass guitarist.
