steantval Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I have only heard of five of them, I suppose a lot of it depends on what genres of music you are in to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Better than me , I only know Suzi Quatro 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 That page was the most unpleasant read ever... the volume of ads made it almost unreadable, in fact I gave up half way through. Literally 80% advert, 20% article. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Great to see Cliff Williams in there, to me it shows there’s appreciation for knowing what to play as well as appreciation for great techniques. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear that he is officially ‘better’ than Geddy Lee 🙄. Clickbait garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 This article has been bouncing around social media, it's complete garbage to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 It is a list, at least. Ehhh... I have nothing else to say 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Yawn yet another in the interminable line of dull 'best of' / 'greatest ever' lists put together on another slow day in the life of the online music press. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I've no idea on what criteria these people are judged but I suspect Joe Public would have even less why they are supposedly great. Wish they'd stop compiling these lists... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Apple Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 I don't know why people get bent out of shape about this kind of thing. I remember the 'best end of year' lists in Sounds and such like. I think Motorhead won best and worst band at the same time! Anyway, everyone knows that Adam Clayton is the best bassist ever EVER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I'm gutted that its only 10 Surely it should go to 11 ? 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Look, let's just settle this now. Everyone knows that I'm the best bassist in the world, I mean I can play Smoke On The Water AND Seven Nation Army. My skills are limitless. 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Any best-bassist list that doesn't have session legend Tony Goggle on it is meaningless. Fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 So is there a place where we can hear their entry to this 'top bassist' competition? I presume it was like a normal music exam or competition where you have a set piece, then a free choice piece, then a proficiancy test? No? Oh was it just a 'no news to write about' article?

OliverBlackman Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Damn I was sure I would feature this year. Sure I haven’t practiced scales as much as I should, but I’ve learned lots of other stuff 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have the LBGS mug with her signature. Have to watch her documentary during the Xmas break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
