Is this going to be the shortest thread in STW history?
For me I think Larry Graham just wins it, but he's closly followed by:
Familyman Barrett
James Jamerson
Geezer Butler
Willie Weeks
Jaco Pastorius
Lemmy
End of
More attitude than you could shake a stick at, even now as a 60-odd yr old.
Or Gene Simmons.
Or Nick Beggs 😉

To hell with "What would Jesus do?", "What would Lemmy do?"
Patron saint of bass players, isn't he?
Patron saint of bass players, isn't he?
no, because technically he's not a very good bassist, although I love motorhead 😀
John Entwistle The Who
Tony Reeves Greenslade
Geezer Butler, or John Myung (sp?)
Geddy Lee FTW

Flea... I've never seen someone bouncing about so much while still being able to play like a loon... fantastic..
Leigh Gorman, JJ Burnell, Bruce Foxton
Lemmy he plays bar chords on a bass 🙂
Algy Ward for the intro to Love Song
Dee Dee Ramone
Must be Jack Bruce or Larry Taylor

Or indeed, hanging upside down 🙂 Shame the rock shit he plays lately is so crap. Early Chilis were fab.
Mark King (level 42)
Hooky
Lemmy
Macca
Keith from Here & Now
Phil from The Subhumans
Joe Lally from Fugazi
Neil Crossley from Half Man Half Biscuit (and if you don't believe me, search for Uffington Wassail, can't link to it from here!) 😀
Les Claypool, had forgotten all about him and his 6 string bass...legend.
Oh, Jah Wobble and Steve Harris too.
Flea.
+1 John Entwistle The Who
Peter Hook, Joy Division/New Order
Steve Hanley, ex of The Fall
Mani - Stone Roses era. Melodic bass lines that complimented their songs perfectly. IMO
Andy Rourke - The Smiths, same as above.
mani
Lemmy
there is more to being the best bassist than being able to play the best
+2 Peter Hook
Paul McCartney
Flea
Mark King
My dad 😉
Gotta be - Geddy Lee
Flea
Gene Simmons for a show!!
lemmy or nikki sixx from motley crue...
[i]Mark King[/i]?? Surely your favourite bassist has to play decent music, not just be technically proficient?!
I like some early Level 42 stuff.
Cliff Williams - AC/DC

Cliff's daughter (she doesn't play Bass but who cares . . .)

Holger Czukay
Gene Simmons for a show!!
Yeah - saw them last month and he is still doing the dripping blood bass solo routine - utterly naff but utterly entertaining.

+1 for Les Claypool & Flea
Kims Deal or Gordon
Lou Barlow
Andy
A slight metal-bias...

Justin Chancellor, out of Tool - the start of '46 & 2' for one prime example.

Opeth's Martin Mendez, keeps them rolling despite being about equal in size to his guitar!

Cliff Burton. Goes without saying.
I do like Geddy Lee's output. I was listening to Subdivisions just the other day - one my fav songs.
I do like Geddy Lee's output
What about the voice of Geddy Lee?
How did it get so high?
I wonder if he speaks like a ordinary guy?

norman watt-roy once of the blockheads now with wilko johnson
