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]

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

tom kennedy- for the nice groove he sets down, staying in the pocket and playing about a thousand notes per measure.

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.

I know it's a tad cliche to say Geddy Lee... but...

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

Jaco and Marcus Miller. That's where I get most of my inspiration from.

I can't really narrow it down to two, but I guess Larry Graham and Bernard Edwards would be a great couple.
