(my personal fave; so I'm shocked he's not on the list).
Damn, so many, too many to even list. |

| | | | Gene Simmons is there, but Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Tony Levin aren't. |

| | | | The fact that thes no John Paul Jones says it all
I personally think Jaco is the best Jazz bassist of all time but probably couldnt hold a candle to JPJ when it comes to rock music and vice versa. Anyway music is subjective |

All this thread will prove is which bassist has the most fanboys on Talkbass.

Then there's his band, and several others that he's worked with. In fact, he's less of a session musician these days then a touring musician pursuing different projects. |

| | | | I think
Jamerson,
JP Jones,
Jack Bruce
and
Chris Squire
were very influential. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Galveston,TX/St.Pete,FL | | | ive never been very fond of john pauls jones bass lines. he really impressed me because of his other instrument work. and can you really compare ANY of his bass lines to anyone i listed. some maybe, but overall i feel he was exceptional because of his musical talent in different instruments, just my 2 cents |
