"Freedom Isn't Free" is only half correct. True freedom doesn't exist in the society we exist in. What the saying really means is "The Illusion of Freedom Isn't Free"

I don't know enough to comment on anyone in particular but this bass solo at 2:10 is cool.

I like Duff personally..
Rex Brown

as far as technicality and flavor les claypool definatly stands out.

Noel Redding did a good job considering what he was up against.

Ray Manzarek stands out even though he didn't play guitar. Doing two things at once and all.

There's a ton I can't think of right now.

Tetsuo Sakurai is my first nominee:

Here is some evidence to support his candidacy for best bassist

Acoustic Bass n Guitar

Drum n Bass solo

Here are two more nominees:

I don't know either of their names but I will find the bass solos and put the times up if 12 minutes of jazz is too much for ya :lol:

:lol:

Bass dual starts around 2:10

Les is the best hands down. He plays all kinds of bass.
