Favourite bass guitarists?

My top 10 in no particular order would be:

Paul McCartney
Noel Redding
Jack Casady
John Paul Jones
Roger Waters
Guy Pratt
Les Claypool
Cliff Burton
Jason Newsted
Steve Harris

...

 

After Paul McCartney, Noel Redding and John Paul Jones I don't really care anymore.

 

haha fair enough..

 

Syd Barrett played quite a bit of bass but never for the Floyd or on his recordings I think...

 

no John Entwhistle?

 

nope.

 

haha I knew I forgot a couple .. like Entwistle and Geddy. I'm also a big fan of David Gilmour on fretless bass..

 

VICTOR WOOTEN!!! He is crazy good. He plays with bela fleck and the flecktones. If you don't know him check out this video and have a change of underwear handy - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4118388908365727976&q=victor+wooten

 

Phil Lesh is my favorite

 

Les Claypool and Paul McCartney.

 

Mike Gordon.

 

i would have replied Mike Gordon and Phil Lesh last week at this time but after watching Les Claypool do his thing at the All Good festival last weekend I definitely have to add him to my list. he does some amazing shit with a bass guitar.

 

damn straight.

twas an awesome show.

 

Phil Lesh
O'Teil
Dave Schools
Victor Wooten

in no particular order ('cept Phil)

 

i think Flea, from the red hot chili peppers is awesome =)

 

thats the craziest thing ive ever seen

 

i agree, damn he's good

 

Yea that's some crazy skill..

 

I'm shocked no one has listed Jaco Pastorius yet, I guess the title of the thread is subjective though My favourite would have to be Roger Waters, McCartney and then Geddy Lee.
