Favorite Bassists (with pictures)
Storm Rider:
Since we've had these for basically every other instrument, we should one for the bass.
I am fully aware that this is going to turn into a Les Claypool thread, but who cares?
John Myung (Dream Theater, Platypus, Jelly Jam)
Geddy friggin' Lee (Rush)
Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Iced Earth, Testament, Sadus, among others)
Come on, he uses a fucking fretless bass and still tears it up.
Stu Hamm (Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Solo)
Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
Tony Levin (too many to name, most notably King Crimson, Yes and Liquid Tension Experiment)
John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)
Couldn't find a good picture of him with a bass.
Lemmy Kilmister (Hawkwind, Motorhead)
Roger Waters (Pink Floyd, solo)
Billy Sheehan (Steve Vai, David Lee Roth)
John Entwistle (RIP) (The Who)
And of course,
Les Claypool (Primus, and I don't feel like listing all the others cuz their titles are really long)
And that's all I can think of right now.
onewheelwizzard:
Scott Reeder (Kyuss, solo)
Steve Kille (Dead Meadow)
Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath)
Jaco Pastorius
Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, QOTSA, The Dwarves, Mondo Generator)
Dickie Peterson (Blue Cheer)
Carson Binks (Parchman Farm)
Jack Bruce (Cream)
Not pictured (because I couldn't find any): Googe (Masters of Reality), Chris Ross (Wolfmother), Van Conner (Screaming Trees)
nescience:
I second Tony Levin and his Stick.
Hat:
Justin Chancellor - Tool (though he doesn't look anything like I remember him)
Doe - Mobstar (I have no idea what his last name is, but he is an awesome shred machine. I just wish I'd gotten to Billy Sheehan before anyone else did though :()
And last but not least, Paul Mccartney. I know his early post-beatles stuff sucked, but almost everything he did with the Beatles was fantastic melodic bass, and some of his newer solo stuff is pretty awesome as well
a pack of wolves:
Mike Watt (Minutemen)
Joe Lally (Fugazi)
Bob Weston (Shellac)
Rika mm (Melt-Banana)
Brian Gibson (Lightning Bolt)
