Wooten, his fingerstyle work is amazing and his solo bass tapping/harmonics arrangements are generally excellent, but double thumping is the worst and least musical thing ever to happen to bass, his compositions feel forced and emotionless and he's all round a wasted talent.

Nikki Sixx. He also very very lucky in the girlfriend dept at the moment with Kat Von D.
I hate when people say Flea. Have you ever played his stuff? Heard a whole album of RHCP? He is a grooving fool that sometimes gets overshadowed by his early slappy flash stuff.

I don't have a problem with Flea he's a very good bassist.
In fact half the people at least my age around here wouldn't even be playing slap if it weren't for him.
It's a tie between Steve Harris and Noel Redding.
Steve Harris?
1. You don't know what that man can do. 2. Apart from beeing a bassist he's a great compositor too...
You can not tell who's good or bad, every1 has his specialities lad..
That's what i love about music...
People have different styles, you may not like a certain style, so it doesn't always mean they're overrated. I personally think simpler grooves sound better, just the music I like.
