burno70 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Billy Gould's an excellent shout, he hardly gets mentioned on bass forums and I don't know why, he's a class act. Pure metal it's gotta be Steve Harris for me. I love Tim Commerfords style and sound too alhough that's more of a hip hop - metal hybrid thang!

King of Loss Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I enjoy Pete Trewavas, Sean Malone, and Jonas Reingold.....I think they are a good deal bit more interesting than alot of guys who have been mentioned. Their bands, however, were never as big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenochrome Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 [b]Steve Harris![/b] ...but great shouts for some of my favourite tech bassists (eg Ryknow) and solid bassists (eg Cliff W). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph_Orpheus Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Phil Lynnott was great indeed. But I'm surprised no one has even mentioned Rex Brown yet, he has been the biggest influence on me. The guy has the biggest live bass sound I've ever heard as well. And how could we forget about Justin Chancellor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Walker Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Has no one voted for Justin Chancellor yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 +1's for Geddy, Entwhistle, Cass Lewis ([i]awesome[/i] player), Geezer for "proper" metal, Lemmy - [i]so[/i] much more than just bass playing though! A big personal favourite - Dennis Dunaway from the original Alice Cooper group, one of the most inventive & versatile pick players I've ever heard. Currently I really like Martin Mendez from Opeth - very adventurous & melodic player, always tasteful & never inappropriate. Also Colin Edwin from Porcupine Tree - solid, versatile & sometimes a little bit surprising. This is starting to sound like wine-tasting comments! Justin Chancellor's good - but he does play very, very like his predecessor, Paul D'Amour. He didn't play much like that in his previous band, Peach. Jon.

Jonny Walker Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Maybe originally but JC's lines are allot more complex than they used to be (not a bad thing) not sure that Paul D'Amour could cope with the new stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7string Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Billy Sheehan, Steve Harris. I'm going to add Marco Mendoza as well. Amazing player fretted or fretless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that has sort of established JC's playing style - and also his writing style on [i]10,000 Days[/i]. His playing's great - entirely appropriate for Tool. J.
