Question Claypool or Gorden?

Ok, Which bassist do you prefer to listen to? Which one moves you more? I find Mike Gorden to be a better and more musical bass player than Les Claypool and essentially want to know where other people stand.

This belongs in the bassist forum Also try a search for it, it's probably been covered.

I like Les's creativity and witty attitude, so I'd vote for him.

But where's the Aston Barrett option?

I prefer listening to Cactus...of course I'm overly obsessed with Phish

I love les, don't get me wrong...but I can just groove out to Gordon from here to kingdom come!

Dude, like how could you even say that... your Grandma plays with a pick and doesn't ever try fretless and upright and stuff

Your Mom is WAY better.


Oh wait, I mean.... I hate "Vs." threads and I'm in a mood so I'm closing this one. If Jay or Cass wanna open it, I'll leave it be.
