So who is your favorite Bass player?

Flea from RHCP.

FAT MIKE. I love how the majority of bassists are overweight. It's great. Or at least.. it just seems that way. Flea (^) is awesome, though.

Matt Freeman from Rancid/Operation Ivy hes kicks arse!!

Another good bassist: Nick Oliveri (formerly of Queens of the Stone Age)

p3t3 wintz

Steve DiGiorgio

(yes, big font is neccessary)

Steve DiGiorgio is the boss.

Leandro from Deadstar Assembly.

I'm told that it's fascinating how the bassist from Parliament can chainsmoke and play at the same time.

To be quite honest, though, I just don't have one.

well no one can touch matt freedman. except maybe chris #2 from Anti-flag. hunter from AFI's eariler stuff is pretty off the wall, too.

Fleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaa!

Les Claypool...I'm not necessarily a big fan of his music, but he's definitely the best that I know of. Victor Wooten is pretty sweet too.

Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth.

Victor Wooten is amazing.

Muzzy from Living Colour Fretless Bass Solo and good song

Les Claypool or Jaco Pastorius

Probably John Myung from Dream Theater. Anyoen who plays "Flight of the Bumblebee" with slap-bass is okay in my book.

Gotta give to Jaco Pastorius, too, although I never listened to Weather Report much. But Jaco did a lot of innovative things with the bass.

i'd say the only bassist i ever really noticed was the bassist for "escape from earth", and simply because he was the only member of the band that did not suck.
