Who is your favourite and least favourite bassist?

[FBS1996]

Favourite:
Joe Principe (Rise Against, 88 Finger Louie)

Least:
Gene Simmons (KISS, but you probably already knew that)

[cjmodulus]

Joe principe is pretty darn good. Not my personal favorite, but he's excellent at what he does. I have to many influences to pick a favorite, but at the moment it's Dan Briggs with between the buried and me. As for least favorite, I don't think I could name one. Pete Wentz maybe.

Pete wentz is definitely in my top 5 least favourite

Percy Jones, Victor Wooten, Gary Willis..
Least? just TOO many to name just one...

[loinmute]

Favs-Jack Bruce, Jaco, Cliff burton, Robert Trujillo etc.

despised-the ones who exclusively slap n pop. Just not my thing. I dislike the tone, however, I do like Flea and Trujillo. Just not the guys who always do it.

Oh...and since when were Geddy and Les underrated?

[Sartori]

Favorites... Entwistle, Claypool, Burton, Butler, Newsted, MacAmlaigh, Jamerson, Hinkka, J.P. Jones, McCartney, Cisneros, Steele, lots of others

Least favorites... Fieldy, Simmons, Necrobutcher

[Mike M.]

Top of the favorite list is Paul McCartney.

I really don't have a least favorite. I think everyone has something to offer in one way or another even if thier music isn't my thing.

[s_mcsleazy]

well for least i thought of gene simmons. then i remebered hes basicly a t-shirt salesman not a musician

[EdHunter]

Steve Harris is my numero uno.
As far as least favourite goes, there's a few. Fieldy, Pete Wentz, Sting, Kip Winger and the ginger bloke from Biffy Clyro would all be up against the wall, come the revolution.
