LiamPodmore Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Cliff Burton (Metallica) Paolo Gregoletto (Trivium) Paul Gray (Slipknot, Especially the MFKR Era) Fred Leclerq (Dragonforce, notably their latest album) Kasim Sulton (Ex. Neverland Express/Meatloaf) Brian Robinson (A Wilhelm Scream, just listen to The Horse) Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) Chris Wolstenholme (Muse, need i say anything?) Shavo Odadjian (System of a Down) Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse, no matter whether you like the music or not, the man is a monstrous bass player.) All in no particular order of course, just guys i think are brilliant bass players. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 [quote name='Thunderthumbs' timestamp='1339518342' post='1689780'] Something like....in no particular order: James Jamerson Marcus Miller John Patitucci Geddy Lee Pino Palladino Stanley Clarke Alain Caron Bernard Edwards Jaco Pastorius Bruce Foxton I stuck Bruce in there at the end purely because, he may not be a virtuoso, but he is the reason I play bass. His tone and lines stood out for me among all the other bassists of his generation. [/quote] No Richard Bona Pete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1339519011' post='1689802'] Bill Turnbull Pikachu Michael Mcintyre Theresa May R2D2 Jeremy Clarkson Yoda Susan Boyle Jedward Ashleigh and Pudsey I know technically that's twelve, but I just can't decide between them.

Bassman Steve Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Ok, in no particular order (and probably more bassists I like to listen to rather than viruosos); James Jamerson John Deacon Bruce Foxton Norman Watt-Roy Stephen Amazing (check out either UPP album) Bernard Edwards Mark King Me - somehow I have the knack of playing exactly the bass line I like to hear :-) Andy Frazer Colin Hodgkinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
