who are the greatest bass players of all time?
    #15723795 -

here's my shortlist with no preparation or thought...
whatshisname from the who
geezer butler- sabbath
phil lesh - the grateful dead
whatshisface - dream theater
who zit - tool
there must be a few other stand outs from the 60's to present day.
who else is a true master ?

Who played bass for Bob Marley? Sure a few people had stints over the years, they all sounded pretty fucking good.

Maybe not the best  ^^, but bass is a weird instrument, way more about the vibe than other instruments IMO.

A lot of metal bassists are incredible technically but kinda suck to listen to sometimes.. Saying that I just posted a Snot video.. I may be a hypocrite.

Mike Gordon ain't bad either.. See? I like everything. :hug:

John Ferrera



He does a crazy bass solo in the song Ole Chomper that is fucking nutty! (although less tasteful in my opinion)

This whole band is amazing though!
