A107 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Adam Clayton, U2- didnt take bass lessons till 1998, thats why most of his bass lines are so simple in all the pre-Pop era. He owned on New Year's Day also. Chris Wolstenholme, Muse edit: Carlos D.- Interpol Hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldphishies Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, absoulutely supurb bassist, him and Motorhead's bassist (can never remember his last name, his first is Lemmy) are the only ones I have ever listened to along with the guitarists.

Craiglowery Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 No one will ever top thee almighty Michael Anthony from Van Halen. Ive seen him do things on a bass that people cant even do on guitars! This is probably my favorite solo from him I also give honorable mention to Geddy Lee(Rush) and Timmy C.(Rage Against the Machine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dread_rasta Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I must say that the best ones I can come up with are Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke and Jaco Pastorius.

Nom Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Flea FTW. Listen to his bass on the song Aeroplane, and Youtube isn't a good place to go for it cuz they cut a lot of it from the video. Plus that video is probably the band's worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verminox Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I must say that the best ones I can come up with are Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke and Jaco Pastorius. Im with this guy, these are the greatest bass players. Victor would come out on top mainly for his unique styles, followed by Jaco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woopidoo2 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Just wanted to show this video here, since this is the right place for it. I downloaded the whole song from video.google, but I didnt know this song was saparated at Youtube. Its a great song, called Get on Top by the Red hot chili peppers. Great bass, but the original is better ofcourse. The guitar solo is great also, a must watch for a (flea) fan.

Diesel Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I used to think Flea, but my driving instructor (of all people!?!) guided me to check out the bassist from Primus. Les Claypool is pretty freaking good. I had to post this clip of him from youtube: and this one: Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcnoob Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Flea, but I am sure he has been said a hundred other times in this thread and I am sure there are people that are better then him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moopymitchell182 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Les Claypool is my favorite. I'm an emo, and I knew who he was... so stop being dumb and steryotyping That is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have ever read. You labeled yourself and said not to stereotype. Nice.

silentdob Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ok, I disagree 100% that Flea is the best bassist. Listen to some jazz, then come back and tell me who the best bassist is. Also, anyone who said Fieldy is wrong too IMO. He just beats the [bad word] out of the bass. Also if you think about it, these kinds of debates are impossible to answer if you dont know on what grounds are these people the best. Do you mean fingerpick, or pick, or speed, or technicallity, or style? That being said, I say Pete Wentz. Ill let you guess if Im kidding or not.
