Best Bassist For Everybody

[Cerpin Taxt]

This is a revised version of the poll you guys hated so much. I even put Duff in so you can show your GNR loyalty ever so falsely. Keep in mind that you are voting for the best bassist not the best bassist's band.

I chose Claypool because he plays bass very well. Now you try.

[Teroz]

John E !!!

[White_Mouse]

John Paul Jones and Jaco Pastorius.

[Genesis]

Chris Squire

[IzzySixx]

for techinical ability its got to be john entwhistle

but duff and nikki sixx are great at snotty punky basslines and they look cool too.

[Lumiere]

Claypool.

[matt_barker]

Flea

[Tori]

Tough choice, but I opted for Nikki Sixx.

[Lumiere]

nikki sixx is great at snotty punky basslines and he looks cool too.

For God's sake.

[Genesis]

Geddy Lee, also!

[*bad obsession*]

John Paul Jones.

Bassline to Dazed and Confused.

Also Geddy Lee

[yesilikegnr]

Why would I vote Nikki Sixx against those legends?

[Civil_War]

duff and nikki sixx tied not just for there abilty to play, but the ability to write good songs and bass parts.

[The Third Man]

Still Steve Harris

[Big Boy Sixxx]

steve harris has got great technique, even if he didn wear tight stripey spandex in the early years. i still find it great that he went on in front of 320,000 people at rock in rio in a football shit

[mrslash]

Steve Harris for me.

[slashaholic]

commun duff obviously

John Entwhistle -- Dude this guy kicks major ass. All his basslines were awesome.

McCartney -- Same as above, and he could sing too.

But the best bassist is ... Phil Tornalley. His basslines on Just Like Heaven, Pictures Of You, and the best, Lovesong, are just amazing. Best bassist ever!
