Best Bassist - a game

[sir juice]

I saw the same game for basses and I thought I'd nick it for basses. Here's the rules for the other one, I can't be bothered to type it all myself.

You get to vote ONE +1 point and ONE -1 point PER DAY. Please don't go against this. It will ruin the game. It's supposed to go for a very long time.

Every time you put your answer you must copy and paste the new list. When an instrument is eliminated, just put a zero next to its name so we can see what it was. Do not delete its name. If you have a brand to add - add it to the list beginning with 10 points, or 11 if you voted for it.

Also write a + or - sign and indicate which instrument you voted for

I'll just put up 10 obvious candidates plus my own favourite, feel free to add new ones as you wish (these aren't all my favourites, but I'm sure they'll come up a lot)

I wish someone would add Geddy Lee to the list. I forgot. Didn't think of it until after I voted.

So many names missing from this list..... I would have really expected to see Danny Partridge's name on here!
