Seriously though, I thought Geddy was cool from my favorite era of Rush.

 

[DreadRaver]

4 pages and nobody mentions Watt?

 

[HeadyVan Halen]

Pino Palladino. Straight-up classy cool.

Yes. This^
Right when you think 'oh, look at this white dude? How in the hell did he get there??" he bust a super simple sounding, just right, funky a$$ lick that compliments the song EXACTLY how it should and then you realize how cool this dude is.


*This was all before I knew who Pino was*

definitely ryan martinie for me

ah how did i miss that one, sick player too.

Mike Watt as well, Dreadravers chiding is deserved lol. you could probly look pretty badass just holding his SG bass. his thumb has gradually just sanded a layer off the top.

to answer this seriously, i always thought the coolest looking bassist i ever saw was peter steele.

the dude was a giant, and on a 4-5 foot high stage he was like a sky scraper.

not to mention, anyone who actually can play metal using a db slung over their shoulder on a chain, guitar style, is bdmfo... R.I.P.

he actually would bring the db out sometimes at shows and play it this way, see for yourself in this video:

+10,000 on Peter Steele. There's a clip on Youtube of him appearing on Jerry Springer. I think every woman in the audience wanted to bang him. This was before the substances destroyed him. I have an unblemished record of heterosexuality, and I would have done him.

Plus, his basses with the black and green fretboards were sweet.

Geezer, especially in the early days. All flapping fingers and groove.... always my hero. No need to bounce around the stage when your fingers do the talkin'. And the rockin'.

 

[Lazerrus]

Kalma - The original bass player for the Finnish metal band LORDI. I was in a Lordi tribute band and had to completely hand make his entire costume. Took me over a year. I even bought and still have my black ESP VIPER! One loud frigging bass.

 

[JRodg]

Larry "The Mole" Taylor!

 

[AnchorHoy]

I think Sklar looks cool - like the low end phantom ghost or something

Yep

Also fine taste in companions

 

[tangentmusic]

Chris Squire. He embodied everything I wanted to be when I was younger.
I always thought his look and stage persona was cool as sh**.

Squire was / is the Man!

 

[jeffwo]

No contest as far as who looks coolest -

TONY LEVIN!!!

 

[MN_Bass]

Larry "The Mole" Taylor!

Right On!

 

[almost human]

 

[champbassist]

Can't go wrong with a 12-er, can you?

I have an unblemished record of heterosexuality, and I would have done him.

+20000 on Pete, but that's going a bit too far, I'm afraid

I think his basses with red inlays when he played with Carnivore looked super sweet as well.

 

[MikeBC]

Cool looking and no one mentioned Mary LeGault?
