O.k I would like opinions on who you think is the best bass player ???

My Opinion is two people - Micheal Manring (Solo Artist - Alex Skolnick from testament played on his "Idiot King" cd) and Les Claypool (Primus)

There are other I think are very good, but they don't match the two I listed.

There is only one my friend the late great John Entwhistle (The Ox).

May he rest in peace.

john myung or billy sheenan or dave la rue......or michael le pond

they're all amazing live. especially sheenan..saw him w/ steve vai...and like everything vai would do sheenan would do too..... truely awesome.

myung aint no slouch either..keeping up w/ petrucci in a lot of stuff.

John Deacon

Depends on the style you like, sometimes I like a funk or sometimes a rock bass. So I really like Flea, P-Nut, and Tim Commerford, and Fieldy has his moments.

I forgot about flea - That guy is amazing .. he can play one good slap bass.

Since I was just listening to Exit Stage Left today I am going to go with Geddy Lee from Rush.

Later,

Peace

i dunno many good bass players, but i like john myung, jason newsted and shavo odadjan (i really like the way he plays)

I strongly agree with Leech... Flea is nuts. :) Put Flea and Chad Sexton (311 drummer) together and you got yourself an out-of-this-world rhythm section... hehe
