personally, I think they're all great...but...Colin is my favorite because he can play that crazy 12 string bass :O

i prefer Les, beause the other guys sound more like guitar players....
listen to this and this and you know what i mean...

Can't stand any of them, honestly.

They may "sound" cool, but they do not even remotely fit the definition of a "bassist".

Of course, that is merely one man's opinion.

i didn't know it was a competition.

Well you've obviously never seen Billy live then.

I've seen him live twice with Steve Vai and he is not just about chops, flash or fast playing. The guy has a tone like thunder and can lay down some serious groove.

I've just listened to some of that "Behold...the Arctopus" band that Colin Marston is in and they are hilariously bad.

I thik the title in this video is about right:

None of them are my favorite, or the 'best' IMO, but I've never even heard of colin marston... so by default he's off my list.

After looking him up... I just confirmed that he is way off of any 'best bassist' lists I could think up.

Billy do play a lot great grooves.He is more than a bassist ,he is a musician.

I dont think that colin marston guy can do anything to les or billy, I dont care if he plays his warr guitar, I've tried listen to arctopus, but I just dont care for it.

And Les is funky!

Billy lacks some grooviness, he's like Yngwie Malmsteen of bass, only not fat.
Colin is a poser.
Les is a genius.
