Jason Newstead formerly of Metalica was pretty good, Geddy Lee is decent but if you want to hear some really killer bass listen too John Myung from Dream Theater, he really kicks some butt.

Christian McBride played upright bass on Sting's All This Time DVD. The first half is a documentary showing the band practicing for a week and the second half is the concert in Sting's back yard on 9-11-2001. It's interesting to see the pain they went through in deciding whether to play that concert or not. eta: I really like Paul Denman's playing with Sade. |

It kind of depends on what you like. I'm not a terribly big fan of that slap-happy Flea/Claypool style. I think Cliff Burton was the best I've ever heard. Claypool even auditioned for his job after the bus squished him, but clearly Metallica wasn't looking for slap-happy.

You better do a little more research. Metallica told him he was too damn good. Watch the behind the scenes on vh1. |

YESSIR!!! On electric bass. Super-tragic story, his downhill slide and death. "Greatest" or "best" would have to come out of the "free jazz" realm. Those players are the top dogs. Another fine bassist still alive: Charlie Haden. |

My list...
John Paul Jones Steve Harris John Entwistle Paul McCartney Steffan Lessard Rodger Waters Nikki Sixx Gene Simmons (Who is an okay player, but a GREAT performer) Les Claypool Flea Prince (what doesn't he play well?) Jason Newstead (listen to the bass intro to For Whom The Bell Tolls from Woodstock '94) |
