Greatest metal bassists

[DeathFromBelow]

Anyway, good chatting with you, this thread was getting silly when the Fieldy debate started.

Hey, things always get silly when Fieldy is mentioned...

Bass solo, take one...

My reasoning- are the $500 ones junk? If you make junk why would I trust you to make one worth thousands? Or if your $500 one is a quality instrument that does everything you would ever want, then why would I need a $12k one?

I agree with the person who stated that this claim was absurd. Why are you assuming that lower-end models are "junk"? And why you are assuming that if the lower-end models ARE indeed worse for wear, that ALL other models are also "junk"? What a horrid generalization.

No one is forcing you to buy a $12k musical instrument...

And to add to the original discussion, where the hell is Coroner's bassist on that list?!

Absent, clearly. Probably because Coroner never got that big, and didn't make that many albums.

As for the rest of this thread...

I thought Ron Royce was mentioned? If not, he clearly should be. Coroner never got big, but they are AMAZING!

I mentioned him in post #3

I think Timi Hansen should be waaaay higher up on the list. I've honestly never heard of about half of the guys in the video and usually as soon as the guitar parts came in they were completely covered up in the mix.

Indeed. His playing is what inspires me to improve my own chops. Or, more appropriately, to get back into playing bass again.

Ah! I see.

If you read the post again, you will see that it is not a "claim" , it's a question. It has more to do with justification of over inflated price of the higher end models. If your reading comprehension is so low maybe your butt hurt threshold should be higher.

Agreed and also Hal Patino, Timi's successor

I don't know who made the video, and I don't mean to offend anyone. But the fact that #5 is #5....and sounds like that....

Listen to more Corpse if you doubt Webster. He has one of the best workhorse tones for death metal. Nowadays his tone's even better thanks to the Darkglass B3k on his board.

 

[The Rage]

Listen to more Corpse

or "Blotted Science"...

 

[Inertialsky]

define "metal" ....

Nice try. Don't insult me. This conversation is over.

 

[Hamlet7768]

Loud distorted guitars, pounding bass-and-drum grooves.

or "Blotted Science"...

Meh, I wasn't a huge fan. The time signatures got too weird even for me.

I'm not doubting that he doesn't belong on the list, but at #5? One behind harris?
