There will be good and bad and all in between, on both sides - this is a virtually meaningless and completely unanswerable question.

| | | | Yes Bruce you're right but this is just my curiosity.
I wished to know if in your opinion there are many great bassists in England or in the United States. |

Everyone in the US is African, English, German, Russian, French, Thai, Japanese, mix, etc. But if you are talking about people born in England vs. USA, i have no idea. The US definately has their share of jazz vituosos.

| | | | Both countries have had major influence on the development of the bass as a musical instrument. You cannot say that one or the other is better. |
