jabraulter Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Victor Wooten is great At least someone agrees with me ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrhus Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy5389 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 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...

megadedhed Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 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...

Sir_Alex85 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I like Roger Glover, Geddy Lee, and Steve Harris. Amazing bassists. ;P It really has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soad Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Gene Simmons or Steve Harris HAHAHAHAHAHA Gene Simmons?!?! He played the same few chords over and over. Steve Harris, good, you redeemed yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordanFreeman Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molishist Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitbull Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evadek Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megadedhed Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 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...

woopidoo2 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Flea by miles, he owns all.

FrankyBrown Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evadek Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icingdeath Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
