Best Bassist?

Well im a bassist, and i love the sound of the bass and theres no bass topic haterz

i think cliff burton and the guy from rush are two of the best

what do you think?

Metallica’s Cliff Burton. He died when their tour bus crashed in ‘86, just after the release of Master of Puppets.

cliff burton kicks ass, but he’s not the best…not even close

its all about FLEA, Victor Wooten, Steve Harris, Alexis Sklarevski

all great players that really bring out that bass-y sound

geddy lee (that guy from rush) les claypool, victor wooten.

(also cliff burton was a badass)

Felipe Andreoli from Angra. Also Tom Araya from Slayer gets points for lead singing too.

Tom Araya Slayers Bassist Kicks ass!!! Listen to some stuff

cliff burton…ive been learnin anesthesia lately…its CRAZY

MFNDanzig basically just listed everyone i would have. Geddy steals my heart every time i listen to 21-12. Victor Wooten makes me want to throw away my life and just devote everything to learning the bass. sadly doing that would be bad for affording rent payments.

Well I was at a As Tall As Lions concert and they’re bassist had a 5 minute solo, which I thought was amazing

Dave Ellefson or Steve Harris

he’s not the best but i think Ryan Martinie deserves mention.

geddy lee rules

I think that both Mr Bona and Mr Pastorius should be mentioned here, but when it comes to pure technical skill, I havent ever seen or heard anyone even close to Mr Wooten…

Steve Vai’s bassist Billy Sheen

ha bass..
