Favorite Bassists

Glen Cornick> For some of the finest lines in early Jethro Tull.
Mark Andes> A bass player that had a part in many music eras, 60's Spirit.. 70's Jo Jo Gunne.. 70', 80' Firefall.. 90's Heart.
Stanley Clarke > For taking the bass to another level when it was needed at the time.
:sunglasse

 

Uh just one more if you don't mind?
Glenn Hughes > Trapeez, Deep Purple.. This cat also sang lead at one time for Black Sabbath!

 

hell yeah! hahaha... i second wastingthedawn's post.

but then again I'm in love with everything WHO.

~~~peace~~~

 

I cant believe nobody mentioned tom jenkinson (squarepusher) imo hes the second best bassist in the world, just behind wooten. Claypools sick too. For some reason, i also feel like mentioning the bassist from praxis. it was some old dude, not sure of a name, but hes fuckin crazy. In any case, squarepusher is great!....do you hear me!.......GREAT!!!!

 

Colin Edwin from Porcupine Tree!!!

 

Oh man, I love Porcupine tree, i'm listening to their signify CD right now! Other amazing bassists include: John Myung (dreamtheater), Martin Mendez (Opeth) and Billy Sheehan (Steve vai, etc)!

 

I'm not sure the greatest but I laugh at White Stripes for not having one! Hahaha.

 

les claypool is easily one of the best bassists i've heard in some time, although i really like his stuff with oysterhead more than primus...god is trey anastasio a better singer than him.

and of course i love roger waters, mostly because he's an awesome singer and songwriter...wait, he was a mediocre bassist. oh well.

 

Neither did the Doors and they did alright.

 

White Stripes suck so much, it's fucking hilarious.


D'Arcy Wretzky is among my favorites, but I'm sure you all expected that..
