Favorite Bassists

Okay so who is everyone's favorite bassists? :choc:

That's the spirit, you should of wasted some time and added a poll. Probably Cliff Burton or Jason Newsted. I like Steve Harris and Tom Araya too.

Takeshi '¥' Ueda

David Ellefson and Johnny Rod are my favorites.

Les Claypool and Flea.

Flea and Dee Dee Ramone.

Robbie Shakespeare.

Chris Squire of Yes.

I'm assuming a bassist is someone who plays bass guitar.

In that case, Mike Gugliemucci, from Planetshakers :)

Kristoffer Gildenlow :)

Jason Newsted:

Disregarding the band and just judging the bassist by his skill I would have to say Krist Novelsic or Flea(in modern not classic rock.)

jason newted and greg K

their both very good imo but Jason is just a little above greg. its just his solo's on the san diego show and live binge and purge that makes me have enormous amount of respect for him as a bassist and of course his other stuff to but those solo's stand out for me and not to forget his enthousiasme (s?)

Tis greatness.

but my fave... Oliveri or Reeder, both legends of stoner rock.

Adam Duce, primarily because he has a fearsome beard;
