Which 2 bassist had the biggest impact on your style of playing ? For me I would say Jason Newsted and Robert DeLeo. I would say Jason taught me how to rock and keep it tight and Robert DeLeo taught me how to groove and approach each bass line differently.  [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]

Shavo Odadjian - Taught me how to rock and keep a good heavy metal beat throughout
Marcus Miller - Taught me how to be the slap and pop masta

| | | | John Myung and Flea. Myung's virtuosity and creative countermelodys had a huge effect on the way i approach the intstrument. |

jimmy johnson- pretty much the same reason, except he really knows how to hold a nice steady groove while evryone else is playing a thousand notes per measure.

Geddy Lee and either John Myung or Tony Levin. It's a hard call between the 2, so allow me to be indecisive.
