LMAO mate...we only even let him in the band cuz he was the only one who could afford a bass.Rhoobarb said:Paul McCartney
But if he does can i have Jaco Pastorius?Cheyco said:Although, Wooten is more of a Jazz player. Put Burton in there if he doesn't count.
Stuart Sutcliffe rocked.....El Pistolero said:LMAO mate...we only even let him in the band cuz he was the only one who could afford a bass.
Sasquatch said:"Geezer" Butler - this guy is so under-rated it's ridiculous. Black Sabbath had terrific bass playing
sudsmonkey said:You guys forget: Bill Wyman
Phil Lynott
The others would have to be: Lemmy
Geezer
J.P.Jones
Prost! said:Bill Wyman is good, but did you know that the awsome bass line in the popular studio version of "Sympathy for the Devil" is actally Keith Richards?
jeffg said:Allen Woody
David Schools
Phil Lesh
John Entwistle
Berry Oakley
Schools has to be my favorite current bass player, especially live....

jeffg said:If you love the bass have never seen the documentary tribute to Allen Woody: Gov't Mule--Rising Low, do yourself a favor and check it out. Many of the bass players (still alive) people have named are in it. The bassist from Phish who directed it is a littel annoying but otherwise it is very, very cool.

Plus he did write 'Jazz Odyssey' too.....Cheyco said:Hey, how could we have forgotten Derek Smalls? Fine bunch of music lovers we are.

Good list so far. I'd like to add Adam Clayton. U2 may not be hard rock, but he's a talented bassist nonetheless.
