Best Bassists ever. Can't forget the low end.

Yes. It's a shame that Metallica broke up in 1990. >_> *cough*

 

Oops... forgot to add Tommy Shannon (Johnny Winter/Double Trouble/Triple Threat Revue etc.)

 

Lesh, Claypool, Woooton, Ben Kaufmen from Yonder(cant believe hes not mentioned), Burton, and flea

 

Flea
John Paul Jones

funny thing is, Flea was a trumpet player when he was a kid

 

Marcus Miller
Victor Wooten
Stanley Clark
Bootsy Collins
Larry Graham (invented slap)
Flea
Les Claypool
Christian McBride
Charles Mingus
Billy "Bass" Nelson (of Funkadelic)

 

almost forgot Jaco Pastorius

 

Flea revolutionized pop slap and thumping all in the same motion. No fucking human on this earth can match that skill. The crazy thing is he did play trumpet when he was younger he loved blues, and hated rock he despised it until the late Hillel Slovak (former and first guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers) showed him Jimi Hendrix who he now has tattooed on his arm and Hillel also taught him to play bass as well. So thank Hillel for ALOT my friend.


Billy
