Cabal Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Right then, here are the top ten results of the original thread found here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30285"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30285[/url] I took only your first three votes if you listed more than that. I may or may not have made the odd mistake. 01) James Jamerson - 20 votes 02) John Entwistle - 17 votes 03) Bernard Edwards - 9 votes 04) Jaco Pastorius - 8 votes 05) Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller, Stuart Zender - joint 7 votes 06) Flea - 6 votes 07) Aston Barrett, Jean-Jacques Burnel, Stanley Clarke, Les Claypool, Duck Dunn, Bruce Foxton, Mark King, Lemmy, Pino Palladino, Timmy C - joint 5 votes 08) Peter Hook, Paul McCartney, Paul Simonon, Norman Watt-Roy - joint 4 votes 09) Bootsy Collins, John Deacon, Leigh Gorman, Mick Karn, Victor Wooten - joint 3 votes 10) Jeff Ament, Jack Bruce, Simon Gallup, Steve Harris, John Paul Jones, Colin Moulding, Mani, Bruce Thomas - joint 2 votes Lots of ties unfortunately, so if we could get a tie-breaker vote on the guys at #07 we'd have the real list, ie Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller and Stuart Zender would be joint tied at #05, Flea would then move to #08, and we just need to fill #09 and #10 with either Aston Barrett, Jean-Jacques Burnel, Stanley Clarke, Les Claypool, Duck Dunn, Bruce Foxton, Lemmy, Pino Palladino. A few casting votes for the above would be appreciated, thanks. Cheers, Jake M Edited October 29, 2008 by Jake_M Quote
