ledzep59 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I know it's been ask before' date=' Just humer me. So many to choose from. I would have to say John Paul Jones and Stanley Clarke. [/quote'] I saw John Paul Jones live about 8 years ago and he came out with a 3 neck guitar! 6 string, 12 string, mandolin. He started playing messing around with a looping pedal and "Going to California" rhythm on the 6, played around on the 12, and the famous little melody on the mandolin. Amazing! Also like Victor Wooten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdick2112 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Non-Gibson players who get my vote include Stu Hamm, Geddy Lee and Billy Sheehan. The great Gibson bass players would have to include Rick Danko, Pete Way and Tom Hamilton, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd_artist Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 This is really subjective, I would classify John Paul Jones as a great musician not just bass player, there are so many awesome players but I really like this guy ;-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd_artist Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 you see? it really is subjective,each bass player listed had/has a different style or approach to bass playing, that's why I find these kind of post useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbass54 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Alot of great picks some I left out of my own list. This was just a test to show how many diferent styles and test there are in music. But we all agree on one thing music knows no limets, it starts and never ends it's in all of us and thats why we do what we do. Play our music Proudly. Peace and Love to all of you!

Laney1566 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 As a guitar player, I wouldn't mind jammin with Steve Harris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basshole Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 One vote for Charles Mingus Awesome Upright player, I think he is a great composer more than anything. Sort of like "Sting" from the Sting and the Police; new what notes to hit at the right time to make a perfect song. Joco is good in a Ruboto sort of way.

Versatile Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Everybody seems to be assuming 'string' bass.....which is ok and most names have come up, apart from Jack Bruce But what about the 'daddy' J S Bach, who seems to have instigated many bass concepts and is essential study for modern technical bass players And Jimmy Smith....who plays mind boggling bass lines whilst improvising jazz......
