Everyone mentioned so far is top tier, don't get me wrong. But this man rules all

Fretless hurray.

Dominique Forest LaPointe also.

babbys first bassist

bass is a divine instrument
the backbone of all music
played all my life myself

but must I be the cunt to say this..
most music where bass doesn't stay on the background with the drums
is utter crap

Let me dial out all the bass and show you what my frets sound like!

>t. failed guitarist

Flea

Stu Hamm is beast.

I aspire to reach his level in my own playing.
For your consideration.

Yall ever hear penn jillette slap some bass?

I have actually in the vidi where he and teller are explaining misleads he's decent nothing amazing more amazing because you don't think Penn and teller and bass guitar

Be prepared to pack on the pounds forgoe basic grooming and hygiene regimens and get zero puss until you are atleast close or beyond this guys skill.

Sacrifices for that level of musical talent worth it

Wojtek. Amazing polish bass player

Geezer butler

Their real interesting cats. Was surprised by penns libertarian leaning on things and that apperantly they arent very close friends at all yet maintain a decades long career in showbiz. Kinda cool backstories too their lives too.

Rinus Gerritsen, Golden Earring, still going strong.

He's a great musician but he's kinda mediocre with the bass.

Wojtek m.youtube.com/watch?v=UeAECmaJ7Ms

You guys didn't think to include John Entwistle. I'm ashamed of all of you

The pretty guy from Fall Out Boy!

Jean Jaques Burnell (Stranglers) and Lemmy from teh Moterheadz

ITT: opinions

Billy Sheehan, u n4bs

god of slap bass

He's shite.
When he done some 'Back to Basics' tour recently (the one where he had pics of himself done up like some Commie hero, social-realism style), he was playing tunes that could be done with one hand (E, A, D, G), and probably should have been, to show himself up as a complete washout.

tl;dr: PMcC = shite

The fuck are you on about?

shame on all of you for not mentioning this guy

And coincidentally another Martin for me, Martin Mendez of Opeth.

...

I'm surprised that Al Cisneros of Sleep and Om is rarely brought up in discussions like this.

His style is very unusual and interesting. I saw Sleep live about a week ago, and one thing that caught me off guard was this guy's insane, gut-punching low end.

I guess I won't be seeing any of you fags at Lockn. Oh wait, I forgot the ticket price.

Think outside the box kids. Stop listening to RHCP and similar garbage

Dafuq is rhcp?

Yeah... his sound in Dragonaut is awesome

See

Fuck yeah I was gonna post ole Victor if nobody else

I gotta admit, that didn't help a lot

/thread
metal "bassists" can go fuck themselves

Tina!

Red hot chili papers

Mark King - the real king of slap bass

youtu.be/sPR7mq9YWZA

Cool Seinfeld theme song wannabe. Boring shit.

No John Myung from Dream Theater?

Right, probably should have got that

No one listens to that no feel garbage

>RHCP
>garbage

How in the name of all that's good and holy did you come to that conclusion?

I'm happier that you didn't know what rhcp is, user. You gave me hope.

Also Avishai Cohen.
Too bad his is often outlclassed by the people he plays with.

RHCP is middle of road AOR radio crap.. tame and lame

They're the best of the best.

You know, I never really considered Lemmy as being that terribly great as a bassist, but rather that he had an intuitive grasp on just being a good musician period.

Maybe I just need to pull out some albums and try to pick out really good examples.

Claypool will always be my favorite though.

When your music taste agrees with the top 100 charts of the current year, you're not paying enough attention to your music. When you're hanging on to a top 100 band 10 years after their peak... You lose all credibility for music taste. Put your rchp album back on the shelf next to your oasis and green day cds

I listened. It sounded like Seinfeld. Then I got bored of the lack of soul or feel and concluded

Primus is a bass meme made by Sup Forums

This post is way too reasonable. This isn't an old Sup Forums bass thread where we all had a good time talking and exploring new music. This is nu-Sup Forums where we argue and criticize each other's taste in music while sounding like we think we're better than each other.

I miss the old bass threads

>When your music taste agrees with the top 100 charts of the current year,
It doesn't
>When you're hanging on to a top 100 band 10 years after their peak
So because they passed their peak that means that they were never good? That's some retarded ass logic.

I love the new Dr Phil album.

Primus was awesome before Sup Forums existed.

I will be a god tier bassist. I also met led clay pool once a shirtless drunk guy wanted him to sign his chest and asked led if he played the trombone lol. Less singed his chest and the I walked up shook his hand said you play a mean ass trombone to which he responed its pronounced trombone.

You're arguing that Red Hot Chili Peppers is even a band worth discussing. You can name Flew and Anthony Kiedles. Who are the other guys? Doesn't matter because they don't contribute. The band is recognizable, that doesn't make it good. I'm happy you enjoy it, but you look retarded arguing for them.

He was never the fastest. But he's a legend in my book.
