Could this be the greatest bassist of all time? I certainly think so.

I mean, Geddy Lee is the best, but John Paul Jones, Cliff Burton, and John Entwistle come to mind, at least for me.

that's a funny way to spell chris squire

underrated as fuck as far as his playing

Nobody cares about the dadrocking shitters posted so far

Geddy Edges Chris ever so slightly. His finger picking technique is a bit more interesting then chris' picking.

geezer butler is better than your fave bassist.

...

you all gave little boy answers.

literally the equivalent of going into a thread about good guitarists and just being like "these guys are all trash compared to JIMI HENDRIX. have you heard of JIMI HENDRIX???"

Not the best but underrated

roger patterson from Atheist

James May played bass?

Hehe

Cliff is overrated. Both guys that came in Metallica after were better in every way almost.

Rory Gallaghers right hand man

love his bass

I really should fuck around with strings like he does

what do you mean by fuck around

he uses two banjo strings

interesting

that would really fuck with the tension of the truss rod however

Honestly it's barely a bass guitar at that point.

who cares it gives off a fucking sweet tone

well it will give his roadie/techy a job for life in the process.

Sid Vicious

Teen man crush

patrician as fuck

Jaco, not Oscar

...

Juan Alderete
Percy Jones

Juan Alderete doesn't get nearly as much recognition as he deserves. Add Jaco Pastorius & Les Claypool and you've got a damn good list my negro.

My second fave "Lady of the Bass" behind the incomparable Suzi Quatro, who got me into the bass in the first place.

underrated bassist coming through

Is geezer better than... geezer?

This is the only true answer for best bassist of all time.

Can we stop pretending that Lemmy is a good bassist? He's one of my favorite vocalists of all time but the Ace of Spades bassline is used on almost every Motorhead album

>he plays fast he good

Charlie Haden
Robbie Shakespeare
Jah Wobble
Rockette Morton

chris wolstenholme of Muse is pretty good
