I'm the best bassist of all time (and I'm not shy to admit it, either):


*
Jaco Pastorius
*
Early career backing the Temptations and Supremes. Moved on to work with Pat Metheny and Weather Report. Probably the best technician ever to play the bass.

With which great bass player do you most identify?

My Results:



Les Claypool

From his days with Primus, Les Claypool has been the leader of monster bass playing for two decades. His incredible riffs and slap technique have elevated his name as one of the greatest.

Another John Paul Jones here.

Although with a little experimentation I found that you always seem to get JPJ if you put your location as UK...
