Favourite/Best Bass Player
OK, all jokes aside about bass players, since no one had started one yet, i though i would - best or favourite bass players. Normal rules of rthese threads - provide videos, yadda yadda yadda
I'll start with an absolute legend

Word to the wise : don't mess with the drummer.
Steve Harris (I'll look for a good video can't find one right now).
thats the man that really made me take notice of bass guitar. he is soooo smooth and fast with those picking patterns.Originally Posted by drum_chick
I'm with RD, Geddy.
Wow!
I can't believe nobody has thrown in Les Claypool or Flea. They are 2 of the best in the modern rock era.

The guy from spinal tap with a double neck bass!
I'm with RD on this one, Geddy Lee is the man!!
Along with Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Two of the best bassists of all time!

most good bass palyers i know converted from guitar because they were too good at guitar. So i gues splaying scales at speed isnt really that great. But then what would make a good bass player? I like flea, He is intricate syncopated and pretty trickey. I honestly dont really know how to pick someone out though :S

My experience has been just the opposite. Most of the bass players I know are failed guitarists. That's what sets guys like Geddy Lee apart from the crowd: his technique, his speed. Most base lines in Rock, Pop, Country, R&B are very easy to play.

Rudiments?
How is Flea overrated? He is a good bassist...if you disagree with him as a bassist currently, you should understand that the band seems to have become a lot less technical since Californication (hardly ever hear a pocket groove from Chad anymore :( )

I have to say that growing up I liked John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, but I would have to say that I think Geddy Lee is hard to top now.
