[Shoden]

Nothing can surpass the godly skills Cliff Burton once bestowed upon us, damn public transport, good for nothing!


Steve Harris, Jason Newsted, James Macdonough are also favourites. I like Rob Trujillo though.

[Zeldy]

Eero Heinonen from.. need I say?

[Brian The Pink Shark]

nik0tine.

[SammieBabe]

A few of my faves have been mentioned, but in addition, I'd say Geddy Lee and Les Claypool...

[Shoden]

My bike doesn't suck! ;_;... Mean Venom.

There are alot of bassists that are masters of standard electric too, that's when things get kickass.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Roger Waters, hands down best bass player ever.

[Slade]

Roger Waters - Pink Floyd
Flea - Red Hot Chili Peppers
The bassist from Incubus aswell.....I can't remember the name.

[Mythra]

Along with the others mentioned, Justin Chancellor from Tool would be one of mine. Anyone that contributes to such a great sound in a godlike band is awesome in my book.

[Doomie]

Flea is the king. <3

[kikimm]

Philip Lipscomb, from Taproot. I don't especially like the band, or his bass playing or anything - he's just so damn cool. They were the opening act for a concert I went to last year, and I was pretty impressed. He's got some crazy stage presence.

No one else really stands out to me in any way.

[Crow]

Flea(RHCP)
Shavo Odadjian(SOAD)
Sean Yseult (White Zombie)
Geezer Butler(Black Sabbath)
Geddy Lee(RUSH)

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

The lack of Les Claypool in this thread distresses me.

And yes, Micheal "Flea" Balzary. Of course.

[Crushed Hope]

Kristoffer Gildenlow, the man can play so much stuff with so much soul. He can do rock, metal, blues, jazz, funk, etc.
