[CollenTompkins]

Well I could never decide when it comes to whose my favourite musically wise. But Scott Plummer pretty much destroys everyone when it comes to skill.

 

[Catbuster]

Duff McKagan. GNR/VR would be zip (IMO) without him backing up Slash.

 

[Jackie Clark]

HAHAHA @ Danny Partridge!! it's funny that he was an influence when I was a kid watching the show.Of course all that changed when I actually started playing bass! My favorite bassist is one that GROOVES no matter what genre of music it is.Every style of music has a certain feel.If a player can do that,he'll get my vote!

 

[Mike M.]

There are so many! McCartney, John Paul Jones, Jamerson and Squire just to name a few.

So many unknows that I see on You Tube that totally amaze me as well. Can't believe how good some of the younger players are these days.

I think it is interesting that the dream theater's bassist got chosen as the greatest bassist in history, yet I didn't notice he being named by any of you. Do you think that they should have consulted bass players to decide who the best was? Not that I see much for a unanimous decision amongst us either. Cheers.

John Entwistle, hands down. maybe not the best, but always my favorite.

 

[MUSHROOMSeAcOw]

Also, John Myung? Really? I love DT, and Myung's a great player, but the best in history? Not by a long shot.
