seashell Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 [quote name='4 Strings' post='1320927' date='Jul 29 2011, 10:50 PM']No new suggestions from me as its Andy Fraser (surely the coolest ever) and our friends Phil L and Norman W-R. >Edit: Looking at that pic again, even kids don't have waists like that nowadays.

Stag Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 For me it has to be the bloke everyone looked at when Metallica were on stage.... the flares, the hair, the headbanging, the style, the skill, the bass... man had it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 For me, it's a toss-up between Justin Meldal-Johnsen or Bobby Vega. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Considering the reason I picked up bass was seeing U2's Adam Clayton on stage at Live Aid and thinking he is the coolest looking dude on the planet and I wanted to look like him makes my decision really easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiegrungesound Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 [quote name='tony_m' post='1320349' date='Jul 29 2011, 12:40 PM']I can't believe nobody's mentioned a certain Japanese cross-dresser yet... Anyway, for me, it'd have to be Mike Mills, if only for the suits. [attachment=85903:mike_mills.jpg][/quote] +10(at least!) for mentioning Mr Mills!

[size=7]\m/[/size][/quote] Amen mate. I would say Gene $immon$ - I've been a KISS fan since I was 10 years old but, I'll have to say Mr Harris - I learned to play by playing along to Maiden. One of my proudest fourstring moments was being able to play Rime Of The Ancient Mariner note for note at the tender age of 16. Saw Maiden again on Sunday in Brum, and everytime I see them I just wish I could be him for one gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Can't believe no one has mentioned the chap on the right here - THE most influential bass player in my life.... and who rumour has it, was the inventor of detuned bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
