Sign in to disble this ad
Who is everyones favourite energetic bassist? The sort who don't limit themselves to a fixed spot and throw themselves around a little bit 
Personally I like Taka from Feeder, he's great to watch and he bounces around like a spring loaded bass machiene  Shame I can't play fingerstyle like him though...
Either way, pick or no pick, its hard to keep a tune while going crazy!

I think I should have heard of them. | Feeder are an indie rock band from wales. started out in the 90s. probably most famous for their quite recent stuff which isnt as energetic as their earlier work. check the video, see if you recognize: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weD4Xt0O-FM
my bands actually covering this song

Of course my all time favorite, Abraham Laboriel, is still quite the mover even though he's in his 60's.

It looks kinda funny when all three guitarists of Maiden just stand there when Bruce and Steve are running wildy across the stage..

But for non-bass, I would def. have to Doktor Flake Lorenz of rammstein, he plays keybords, but he rides around the stage on a segway, dances, shouts fire, the whole nineyards, never i dull moment with him. |

| | | Steve Harris is definately the most energetic bassist I've seen live. He tears butt around the stage like a made man, all while pumping those lines out like nobodys buisness. He's crazy!
Chris #2 from Anti-Flag just exudes energy, through his style of playing, through vocals, powerful stage presence and he does these isane Kick jump things that should probably be impossible for most males, LOL. Plenty of jumping off 810's, and into the crowd too. Very fun to watch!
Exhibit A: 
Exhibit B: 
And I present to you Exhibit C, which also shows some extreme bass face, hehe. 
All I can say is most enegertic bassists are insanely fit... The shear strength it takes to pull those moves off and not Screw up your body OR your playing is pretty impressive.
