Who is your favorite Bass Player?

Mine would have to be Dan Briggs of Between The Buried And Me. This is a video of him playing his bass solo viridian. He is truly amazing. Very Underrated. Who's your favorite Bass Player? The Bass solo starts at about 1:02 in the video.

Les Claypool FTW!

Mccartney.

Steve Harris. Finger picking ftw and he's self taught as well.

Well, the only famous bass players I've heard ofare Paul McCartneyRay Brown, so I'll have to go with Ray Brown, even though he played the upright bass. I like him more than McCartney, because Brown played Jazz. Jazz FTW.

Geddy Lee. Canada FTW!!!!!

VICTOR WOOTENis what I strive to be as a Bass player. My life will be complete if I ever come close. LISTEN TO THAT SOLO, DAMNIT...ITS PURE MASTERY OF THE INSTRUMENT. NOTHING LESS.

Cliff Burton and Paul McCartney.

Jesse F. Keeler, bassist for DFA 1979.

just gonna name a few Geddy Lee Steve Harris Dave Ellefson (JR) [Deth] Roger Waters (for being the musical genious he is, and he had some sick basslines too, like set the controls for the heart of the sun)nimatoad2000

John Myung (Dream Theater)

Troy Sanders (Mastodon)

Dan Briggs (Between the Buried and Me)

Tony Levin (King Crimson/Liquid Tension Experiment)

yes he was, but the music pink floyd made was great, and roger waters was the driving force, as you can see with the two albums after waters left, the rest of the band couldnt make good music without him. they needed eachother.

anyways he was a musical and lyrical genious, not really a good bass player technically but he did have some great basslines .

who cares what he's like, let the music do the talking.

Les Claypool FTW!
