Your favourite Bass Guitar Player

[Misaek]

WARNING this is NOT a thread about who you think the BEST bass player is (though you can post that too if you want). I think my favorite bass guitar player ever has to be Les Claypool the bassist/singer of Primus (He also is tied with Buckethead for most bizarre guitarists ever BUT that is a thread for another day). Also just listen to the bass in this song...

[Cherry Cola]

Lemmy.

Is there any other answer?

 

[Jamienra]

Nikki Sixx.
but the Flea and Lemmy are awesome too

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Lemmy.

Is there any other answer?

Steve Harris?

 

[Asymptote Angel]

Robert DeLeo from Stone Temple Pilots. Really, really under-appreciated. I saw them live and I couldn't take my eyes off him. I play bass myself, and he's my hero.

 

[PixelKing]

That bassist from the killers.

I dont know his name so...

 

[brtshstel]

Phil Lynott. A man who died long before his time.

 

[HollywoodH17]

I call your bets, and raise you a Victor Wooten.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

John Entwishtle. I've always liked the classics and it dosen't get much better then the Who. Plus, John Entwishtle always stood out from the other members of the band and he came off as cool in my opinon.

 

[Gxas]

My favorite bassist? Michael Todd.

You know, the one from Coheed and Cambria?

Favorite vocalist? Claudio Sanchez (Close second is Hayley Williams)
Favorite Guitarist? Travis Stevers
Favorite Drummer? Travis Barker

You thought I was gonna say Chris Pennie didn't you?

 

[Fingolfin High-King of the Noldor]

Victor Wooten is an amazing bassist!

 

[TheLastCylon]

Victor Wooten, no contest.

 

[brass munkey]

John Entwhistle

 

[WINDOWCLEAN2]

Bassist of RATM

 

[Instant K4rma]

Paul McCartney. The Beatles was just a great band, and not only is Paul my favorite bass player, he's one of my favorite vocalists as well.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Steve Harris, Geddy Lee, and John Myung. The Holy Bass Trinity.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Gene Simmons. sure he may not be the most talented bassist but he's Gene Simmons

 

[Manhattan2112]

Hands down Geddy Lee. You know, of Rush?! Anyone?!

And Chris Squire is pretty awesome, too!

 

[Rakun Man]

I agree that all these bassists are good, but my personal favorites are Paul McCartney, Flea, and Geddy Lee. I also recently started listening to Jaco Pastorious.
