Favourite bassguitarist

[Dachan]

I did not include Duff because he is already everyones favorite, if not admit it.

My favorite is Phil.

Please specify if you have picked "other"

Null vote -- I'm partial to Mr Lynott, Geddy Lee and Nikki Sixx.

Roger Waters he was a god!

[Izzy's Girl]

Same here!

[Fit To Burn]

I really like Duff as a bassist. he keeps it simple, he's melodic, and his lines always suit the song.

[Dead Flower]

John Entwistle was the man.

Ultra-cool, laid-back stage presence, too

[artfromtex]

Jerry Scheff. Elvis Presley's bassist during the '70's. the guy is amazing.

also, he played bass on the Doors "L.A. Woman" album.

Anyway, i chose Sixx.

[Big Boy Sixxx]

Sixx, Sixx, Sixx is a number and a beast on the bass

then Harris coz i love the fact that he's about to step out infront of the biggest crowd he's ever played in rio and he chooses to wear what is in fact a glorified west ham shirt. oh and vasco de gama or some team use eddie as their mascot so he went to see em just coz he loves football. a real down to earth fella

Cliff Burton

What's so funny about that? Name me 1 great bassline that Nikki Sixx has created.

My favourites are John Paul Jones and John Entwistle.

[Wild_Child]

Nikki Sixx

Gene Simmons

Blackie Lawless

[Genesis]

Geddy Lee or Chris Squire

[aidlook]

Where the fuck is flea????

[mustaine]

Tom Araya ( Slayer )

[Yamisonic]

What I hate is bassists who make you believe they are good when they are not.

My all time fav is Paul McCartney. I Want You is unbelievable quick and good. Taxman as well. Hell, almost every Beatles song has an incredible bassline by Paul.

I also like

Roger Waters

Sting (Though he messed up sometimes, and others he would abuse his power in the mixing)

John Entwhistle

John Paul Jones

Geddy Lee

Can't remember more at the moment

THANKYOU!! i specify my "other" as Flea from the red hot chilis as he is actually amazing.

[damian 1200]

John entwistle isnt on that list :devil:

Harris or krist

[Guest cherry_bomb]

Paul Simonon

[Axl Rose Child]

Kim Deal of the Pixies and the Breeders is fantastic too.

Some of those Pixies basslines are perfect.

Edit: And how could I forget Mani...?! This Is The One has a great bassline. So does She Bangs The Drums.

[The Third Man]

Steve Harris, no question. Wrote so much of Maiden's classics and his playing is fucking awesome too, if he could sing he'd be awesome solo.

[Streetchild]

I would go with Flea too.

I also liked Cliff Burton and Metallica's new bassist (forgot his name )
