| Underrated On Sputnik; Bass Players
Just following a trend. | | 10 |  | Kiss It Goodbye
She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not
Thom Rushak; Another of those unknown hardcore bass players. His technical skill as a bass player is one that should demand more attention yet he still remains underrated which is a shame considering just how damn good he is. | | 9 | | Judge
What It Meant
Jimmy Yu; One of the more unknown bass players but he wrote some of the most iconic hardcore basslines of them all, several of which were pinched by other bands. | | 8 |  | Jethro Tull
Roots To Branches
Steve Bailey; Fretless six-string wizard. Brilliant player even if fucks up his intonation at some points. | | 7 |  | Sadist
Crust
Andi Marchinii; One of the lesser known bass players in the metal community but I would argue one of the most proficient. Classy tone reminscient of Sean Malone with the skill to match. Check his work on this album to see what I mean. | | 6 |  | Al Di Meola
Elegant Gypsy
Anthony Jackson; Everytime I see this album reviewed, everyone raves about the guitar playing and yet no one talks about the bass playing. Granted it isn't the main focus but I argue it's just as, if not even more, impressive than the guitar playing simply because what it takes many bass players to say with a hundred notes , Anthony does with it three or four. The man has an incredible sense of harmony and relies on a subtlety that far out-classes many of his contemporaries. One of the greats. | | 5 | | Don Cherry
Art Deco
Charlie Hadan; He is a beast of a jazz bassist. Articulate and groovey even in the more atonal end of the jazz world, the man is a force to be reckoned with. | | 4 |  | Cro-Mags
Best Wishes
Harley Flannagan; Yeah this guy is a douche but is also one hell of a bassplayer. He's one of the few in hardcore/thrash who managed to stray away from the linear and unimaginative template of the genre(s). | | 3 | | Carles Benavent
Aguita Que Corre
Carles Benavent; Amazing fretless player whose style is unique in the fact he uses a pick and fingers at the same time. Consequently there is an aggression in his work that is unusual within the flamenco world. | | 2 | | Ashes On Dust
Ashes On Dust Volume 1
Jeff Schmidt; Probably has one of the most unique approaches to bass I've seen in recent years. His style revolves around a five-string reverse piccolo bass and he incorporates elements of folk, flamenco, post-rock etc. into highly technical but incredibly beautiful melodies. | | 1 |  | Bill Laswell
Hear No Evil
Bill Laswell; The ambient Jaco Pastorius. Pretty much one of my favourite bass players purely because his approach is open-minded in terms of music in general. His back catalogue is proof of that. | |

07.12.13 | mercyful fate - night of the unborn
seriously, better bass has never been recorded | ResidentNihilist
07.12.13 | Yeah I jammed it earlier on dude, the bass is groovey as hell. That reminds me, I should've included Rob Yan from Dark Angel. He locks so well with Gene Hoglan on Merciless Death. |
