>1. Les Claypool (Primus)
claypool is awesome but not quite the universal bassist. Any person recording a song will take flea before claypool. there's a reason why flea played on so much hits
>2. Jack Bruce (Cream)
I know he used to play with tony williams but nah... not even close babyyyy
>4. Tony Levin (King Crimson)
Le Stick Bass XD

He's right. Claypool is awesome, but he's nowhere close to being the best of the best. Just not dynamic enough. Too wonky.
John Hill
Not the first name that comes to mind when I think of Rock Bassists, but he's literally the greatest of all time, so i'll give him the spot.
Brandon Perez
Joseph Cook
There's also a distinct lack of Paul McCartney, who while not technically fantastic has an incredible ear for how the bass should sound.
Christian Cruz
>no Chris Squire
just dropped
Jordan Allen
agreed but i don't consider a rock msucian
Brandon Taylor
I mean, he was The Ox's replacement, that's gotta count for something.
Adam Edwards
He's just the goat session bassist so he fits with anything really... his best work is with d'angelo and he's more known as the king of laid back bass playing as well as a melodic fretless player... doesn't really have the roughness as someones like flea or the bassist from RATM so he's not really a rock musician. he's better lmao
Daniel Price
this.
James Cooper
I consider Macca to be more pop that rock. If we're going *that* direction, where the fuck is James Jamerson?
Jacob Perry

Zachary Thomas
Moon had a house right next to me. First week he moved in i got a rock in my window. Then he left. Dont think he ever came back to that house again.
Mason Baker
Yeah, fair enough. That said, Geezer Butler shouldn't take this long to appear. Or Greg Lake.
I quite enjoy Waters, but he didn't really revolutionize anything.
Nicholas Nguyen
Underrated as hell
Jaxson Gutierrez
great vocals
Colton Campbell
Add in Mike Watt and you got a deal
Elijah Smith
Peter Hook
Cooper Allen
Mah nigga.' Someone with taste.
Angel Barnes

Gabriel Nguyen
checked, digits confirm Chris Squire is the #1 rock bassist
Aiden Harris
props to Scaruffi for putting Joe Lally and Rockette Morton in the second list at least, both are hugely underappreciated bassists
Dominic Carter
sandman turns in his grave
Cameron Davis
Yeah I mean whatever I'm just not that bothered
