March 9, 200620 yr Cliff Burton, ex-Metallica. Died in 1986 and had played on Metallica's albums Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. You are so right. Cliff was a genius the truly greatest bassist of all time. It's because of him i play bass. Rest in peace.
March 9, 200620 yr Aw man, I was going to post Victor Wooten. I know of him only because I've listened to some Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and he's pretty much amazing. Thanks for the vids :) Off topic: I went and looked at the rest of the site after watching that second video. They've got some pretty insane clips of eminem freestyle rap battling back before the SSLP came out. :shock: Take a looksee, the guy is incredible...
March 9, 200620 yr Les Claypool, John Entwistle, Geddy Lee, Chris Squire. One of them, hard to say. I do like Les Claypool, even though i'm not a Primus Fan. Frog Brigade and oysterhead i do like though. I haven't heard much of c2b3. they all sound a lot alike, but for some reason i never got into primus oddly c2b3 doesnt sound as much like primus as oyserhead, sausage and Frog brigade. and i still think "Colonel Claypool" blows most other bassists out of the water. but john paul jones, fieldy, steve harris, geddy lee, and flea are also really good Sigs made by Runemetsa, Nuzza, Dark_Shadow, Kuroi and Me.liquid blobs attacking eachother American Anime... YAY!
March 19, 200620 yr I like Roger Glover, Geddy Lee, and Steve Harris. Amazing bassists. ;P It really has
March 20, 200620 yr Gene Simmons or Steve Harris HAHAHAHAHAHA Gene Simmons?!?! He played the same few chords over and over. Steve Harris, good, you redeemed yourself.
March 22, 200620 yr John Deacon or Roger Walters Thank You! I thought noone was gonna say John Deacon throughout this whole thing i was like "wtf?" He's awesome, he wrote great songs and he's really good at base. "El que no arriesga no gana"
March 26, 200620 yr Its been said before but John Entwistle, John Paul Jones, and also Jeff Ament, although I might just be saying that because Pearl Jam is my favorite group.
March 27, 200620 yr lol definatly les clay pool or dude from mudvayne or older incubus bassist listen to the song redefine if u want an awsome slap solo Currently playing... WoW - C:SSTaking a huge break from rs.http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... ar&n=Nelaz
March 30, 200620 yr For me it has to be, the late great Phil Lynott, from Thin Lizzy. Bass player, songwriter and singer, all great qualities rolled into one. Second choice would be Cliff Burton, same reasons as everyone else in here.
April 20, 200620 yr Woot,a really close family friend of mine works really close with flea and ive met him a few times,awesome dude
April 29, 200620 yr mikey way i think he head bangs some times when he plays My pure's stats: str:70attc:35def:4range:72mage:70hp:70
September 26, 200619 yr In my opinion Flea: incredibly average Fiedly: Junk Cliff Burton: Dead Junk Les Claypool: Good slap technique but very poor fretless work Jaco Pastorius: My favourite (Teen Town) Victor Wooten: very good at funk Geddy Lee: great rock bassist Alain Caron: Best slap bass player tbh
September 26, 200619 yr Les Claypool - (i dont think i need to explain) Trevor Dunn - (He can play dead goon, pluss his solo jazz stuff is also incredible) Geddy Lee - (Another one i dont need to explain) John Myung - (incredible sound, fits in with DT's music well) Billy Sheehan - (he sounded INCREDIBLE live at G3) Flea - (Well he kinda started the whole mainstreemfunkrock bass styling) Sigs made by Runemetsa, Nuzza, Dark_Shadow, Kuroi and Me.liquid blobs attacking eachother American Anime... YAY!
September 27, 200619 yr Alex Webster w00t (cannibal corpse) he's got some amazing bass work for anyone who has heard him.
September 27, 200619 yr Flea by miles, he owns all. (If theres anyone who can show me better solos then Flea, post or pm them :mrgreen: ) [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]
September 27, 200619 yr Krist Noveselic, just because I loved when he smashed his head after throwing his bass in the air :lol: But seriously, probably Flea if only because I don't know a whole lot of bass guitarists as I play drums and guitar and don't look into them too much at the moment :oops:
September 27, 200619 yr Flea by miles, he owns all. (If theres anyone who can show me better solos then Flea, post or pm them :mrgreen: ) easily Jaco Pastorius - Better groove and technicality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3x-ibNb9mc John Patitucci - Better groove http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTYQFyXfK7s Alain Caron > Flea slap bass Michael Manring - might be a weather report song but still http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25QfIhNphtE there's enough, Flea is simply average at best, and that's not even comparing him to virtuosos, that's comparing flea to every other mainstream bassist
September 30, 200619 yr Cliff Burton. I really wouldn't call it an era. It was more of a definitive time period during which dinstinctive characteristics were expressed in similar ways.
