El Bajo Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 All the right bassists are there I think. Its more of a favorite bassist list, and considering Dream theater posted a 'Vote for John myung' on their website at a time where Portnoy has just left they are bound to get lots of hits on their site and in extention Musicradar PS, I voted Myung :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Jamerson expert may be along shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
