11.04.15 | Dirk Lance is pretty amazing |
DinosaurJones
11.04.15 | 311 may kind of suck now, but P-Nut is still awesome. |
BigLeach65
11.04.15 | Entwistle |
CamiloG
11.04.15 | Have you heard Bernard Edwards' (Chic) work? Some of the most memorable basslines imo. Also John Entwistle. And John Paul Jones' basslines in "The Lemon Song" are out of this world. |
smaugman1
11.04.15 | geddy all the way |
BigLeach65
11.04.15 | Yes smaugman Geddy is the man |

11.04.15 | i wouldn't say its always super technical, but Isis had some massive bass lines. |
SCREAM!
11.04.15 | Geddy is the man[2]
Also, list could use some Chris Squire. Great picks overall

Madbutcher3
11.04.15 | claypool and digiorgio

Rawmeeth38
11.04.15 | Flea is awesome
Entwistle [2] |
Rawmeeth38

CamiloG
11.04.15 | McCartney, anyone? |
tacos n stuff
11.04.15 | Zia Geelani from ozric tentacles is one of my favs
Flee and Geddy are sick too [304710] |
Archelirion
11.04.15 | Mick Karn gave Japan a really interesting edge, good shout butcher
Alex Webster, his stuff in both Cannibal Corpse and Blotted Science is great.
Also check Yutaka Higuchi from Buck-Tick, his work on tracks such as Ijin no Yoru and Speed is really neat, and just does his job as a bass player superbly. |
tacos n stuff
11.04.15 | I feel like the problems with bass players is that they are either loved and recognized or completely forgotten/disposable
kind of a shame, they deserve more respect |
tacos n stuff
11.04.15 | oh dear... |

11.04.15 | "I feel like the problems with bass players is that they are either loved and recognized or completely forgotten/disposable"
Agreed hard, what a sad reality. |
DinosaurJones
11.04.15 | Whoa, first time I've seen something like that on this site. |
tacos n stuff
11.04.15 | seriously^
i thought this site was pretty good for not having spammers and shit |
Archelirion
11.04.15 | I see one every three months or so, but it's dealt with pretty quickly so you probably don't even notice when it does happen half the time.
Anyway, as far as bass goes... Dan Briggs too. I'm not a massive fan of BTBAM, but he's a great bassist and Viridian is easily the best part of Colors. |
wham49
11.04.15 | Some of the best bands are led by the bassist
no love for Lemmy, huh, bassist for not only Motorhead but Hawkwind as well |
ciregno
11.04.15 | how can you forget phoenix from linkin park? he's the best bassist in the past 30 years. |
