Not the only influences, but the biggest on my playing

 

[bstringkyle]

I have had a good bit of Influences. My main three that inspired me to play and keep playing are:

Steve Harris, Great Bass player. He never played a bad bassline in my mind.

Geddy Lee, He was the one who got me into bass in the first place. Once I heard 2112, I was addicted to low end.

Geezer Butler, Black Sabbath was the band that got me into metal in the first place. Geezer was such a great player.

Geezer, Gene Simmons, Steve Harris, Cronos, Billy Sheehan

[themurm523]

gotta say my bottom feeders Justin Chancellor and Paul D'Amour are my main influences now, but people like Geddy Lee, John Myung, Christopher Wolstenholm, and Les Claypool wanted me to pick up bass in the first place

 

[Demonator]

Cliff Burton and Victor Wooten, Flea, also Justin Chancellor. I cant remember his name, hes the bassist from Between The Buried And Me, I saw them live hes adsolutely amazing.
