Don't mean to be an *******, but some guys on here will get up in your ass when you ask such a question, so wide so to speak(Vague?).
But just IMO Ryan wouldnt be the best, ALthough if were to be put into a top 50 best players, He'd be before #40.

There is always someone better, somewhere, you just need to go find them.

If not, Mark Hoppus for the win.

for the new guy... Welcome to Talkbass! "best" is impossible to qualify... "favorite" works better. Music is an Art and an Expression, there is no singular end we all race to, no judging point to rate against.
