Who's you have as your teacher?

For fretted, John Paul Jones(think of the theory and arranging info you'd get)and, if he were still with us, Bernard Edwards. For fretless, Fernando Saunders, whom I've had the pleasure of speaking with a couple of times. I once encountered Robert Trujillo, pre-Metallica, with Infectious Grooves about all he had going on, and inquired about doing a one or two- time slapping technique instruction, but he declined due to time restrictions.
Rude much? No need to bring in racial issues here. Just cuz I live in Malaysia doesn't necessarily mean I'm some under-educated Asian. Ever heard of a typo? We're here to discuss bass, not stereotype races bro. This ain't the bloody 60s, dude.
The next choice would be someone like Jack Bruce or Steve Winwood. Maybe Ginger Baker
These guys have so much music in them. And Steve Winwood has achieved an inner peace that would be nice to be exposed to.

Go back and read the whole thread. I posted something that should've explained myself. I was trying to defend your mistake/typo/whatever you want to call it.
Have a good day.
I would also say james jamerson. he could play some cool stuff and probably knew the theory as well.
or somebody who doubles like Christian Mcbride.

Jack Bruce is a good one. Also, Rick Danko would have been cool. I like the fact that they both played other instruments and while bass was their role, their main priority was serving the music.
My first and only bass instructor never once brought a bass to a lesson. He brought either a guitar or banjo, leaving the bass playing to me and for me to work out as he played chords. He showed me the correct lines and figuring on his guitar. It made practice really fun once it came time to perform the piece.

If you don't like publicly shaming people for their spelling and punctuation then try IM to privately point out their poor writing skills.
Marcus.... his work and the way he gets the music is are amazing....
out of the list... Aston Barrett, the best groove that i have ever heard, and his students (Robbie Shakespare & Shiah Coore) have been great bass players too...

Since Modern Electric Bass is the best bass video I've seen on many levels..I'd have to go with Jaco as teacher.
None of the above.
For theory Jeroen Thessling. The guy invented his own micro-tonal scale for crying out loud.
For technique and general instruction Ryan Martinie. They guy really understands the bass and can play any style he wants.

I'd choose Michael Manring. A friend of mine actually took lessons with Manring. I guess he's pretty open to giving lessons. Probably isn't cheap. Victor would be a second choice, not because of how he plays but because of his valuable advice I've heard from him.
