    If you could jam with just one bassist, who would it be?

    For me I'd have to say cliff burton, with Steve Harris being in close second, and then all the other greats of rock

    Edit: I've expanded it to one musician, so now guitarists, drummers etc are all fair game. My answer still stands :bassist:

    That's the reason I got a looper. ;)

    I can't think of too many bassists I wanna jam with, that has potential to be cool. But I can think of 10,000 drummers I'd like to jam with.
