Which 2 bassist had the biggest impact on your style ?

Hmmm

Shavo Odadjian - Taught me how to rock and keep a good heavy metal beat throughout

Marcus Miller - Taught me how to be the slap and pop masta

 

John Myung and Flea. Myung's virtuosity and creative countermelodys had a huge effect on the way i approach the intstrument.

 

Man, I don't think I could nail it down to just 2....

I take it all in from all points of life... nuggets and clams fall out from all over

 

tom kennedy- for the nice groove he sets down, staying in the pocket and playing about a thousand notes per measure.

jimmy johnson- pretty much the same reason, except he really knows how to hold a nice steady groove while evryone else is playing a thousand notes per measure.

 

There are many, but the main 2 were Stu Zender and Gene Perez.

 

I know it's a tad cliche to say Geddy Lee... but...

Geddy Lee and either John Myung or Tony Levin. It's a hard call between the 2, so allow me to be indecisive.

 

Jaco and Marcus Miller. That's where I get most of my inspiration from.

 

Jaco and Rocco

 

Marcus Miller and Mike Gordon

 

i don't know. i learn something new everytime i hear a song. every bassist inspires my style.

so do all the other instrumentalists out there.

but i really like john paul jones, trevor dunn, geddy lee, and james jamerson.

 

I'd say my biggest are Geddy Lee and Justin Chancellor.

 

Jack Cassady (airplane & mostly hot tuna) and geezer butler (sabbath).

 

Les Claypool and Mike Gordon

 

Jack Bruce
Joe Lally

 

AWESOME THREAD TOPIC!!!

my style boils down to a meeting of:

1. mike "cactus" gordon
2. tom jenkinson (squarepusher)

 

2 very different bassist:
flea and steve harris. they both give that adrenaline rush when they just do there thing.

 

I can't really narrow it down to two, but I guess Larry Graham and Bernard Edwards would be a great couple.

 

Hugh McDonald (Bon Jovi)

Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver)

Most Definately Those 2, without a doubt.

 

Geddy Lee and Stanley Clarke
