Anything by the WHO..John Entwistle is a killer bassist. Live at Leeds is my favorite. And another vote for Jack Bruce.

 

[Rushian13]

Hey now. Haven't we overlooked something?

Geddy Lee - Rush

Killer man...to be able to write the music he does, to play and sing what he does? Who cares if he sounded like a girl. Amazing man. Simply amazing.

 

[reel big bassist]

Rancid's bass player is Matt freeman. He is truly an awesome bass player. He is just great, words really can't describe it.

THE extreme metal bassist is Steve Digiorgio...check out his works with Sadus,and the latest Testament album "The Gathering"...I think he's played with Death as well.

Hmm I dont think I saw John Patitucci up there... but he is good although his music is kind of "pornoesque" at times.

You find Patitucci's jazzy upper register solos "pornoesque"? Explain, please. I haven't heard anything that good in a John Holmes film.

Helmutt Hattler of Kraan is simply awesome. Squire's tone in a jazz funk fusion thang. I highly recommend anyone who has not heard him to take the time and find the music.

Chris Squire. Such tone, wonderful counter melody, great time.

Jaco - heavy heavy sigh....

Bootsy. Makin the Bass the life of the par-tay!

Kool of Kool and the Gang - Jungle Boogie, Hollywood Swinging, Get down on it.. Infectious Grooves indeed.

Larry Graham - Makin the bottom move.

Glenn Hughes - The "Burn" album slayed me. He's got a bit o' the funk in him.

John Paul Jones - I don't think any other bassist is emulated more than this guy, whether players know it or not!

 

[DaM13N]

Rachel Bolan of Skid Row
Duff "Rose" McKagan of Guns n' Roses
Jerry Dixon of Warrant
Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue
Jason Newsted of Ozzy Osbourne

Hey-If we're talkin' "killer bass players"

with being a killer- he didn't live long enough
for the trial).
