M4L666 Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 [quote name='OldGit' post='417450' date='Feb 23 2009, 03:27 PM']Wobble[/quote] So agreed. He does so much different things, you have to like some of it! But I'm feeling lots of Burton hate on here I prefer UG bass for it's metallity. Quote
Dubs Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Tim Commerford? Not technically amazing bass lines but absolutely solid riffage and killer tone. Quote
tombboy Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Michael Anthony! Ok... he may not be the most talented of players (check out his solo on 'Live Without A Net' for a giggle) but when VH sacked him he was humble beyond words and wished EVH well with his rehab. Kept his hand in and is now coining it in with Chickenfoot. Quote
hubrad Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 [quote name='Born 2B Mild' post='418750' date='Feb 24 2009, 10:01 PM']How can anyone possibly diss these gentle ambassadors of the lowly strung? [indent]Norman Watt-Roy Dave Pegg Danny Thompson[/indent] And if they do, I'll send the ghost of Alex Harvey round to sort them out [/quote] +1 to all 3! Peggy even slides effortlessly onto mandolin just to keep the tension going. DT just is! Identifiable sound, so versatile. Totally decent geezer, to boot. Quote
ezbass Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 [quote name='leschirons' post='498350' date='May 26 2009, 10:18 PM']Can't say I've ever noticed anyone slagging off one of my faves. Leland Sklar. A grand ole man of bass.[/quote] Yep I've never read or heard a bad word about Lee. He has surely played in nearly every genre of music, and played well. A totally nice guy when interviewed too. Big up for the best beard in music. Quote
stingrayfan Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) +1 for Andy Rourke Adding - Mark Stoermer (Killers) I'll stick up for Mark King too. The guy's an amazing player but just suffers from the British tall poppy syndrome - build em up, knock em down. The music might have been very MOR, the slapping over the top, but the guy's an amazing fingerstyle player; great feel. He can sing lead vocals at the same time too, which is a hell of an achievement. Edited May 28, 2009 by stingrayfan Quote

jezzaboy Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Geddy Lee- Can sing, play the bass and operate keyboards via footpedals all at the same time! And plays a bass that cost him $200. Steve Harris- Fantastic player and writer. Pino Plladino-Superb on The strat pack dvd. Pete Way of UFO-Love the guys style and attitude to playing the bass. John McVie, Andy Rouke, Geezer Butler, the late Jimmy Dewar ex Robin Trower, Roger Glover, Bob Daisley, Ronnie Lane, John Rhino Edwards of Quo, Jim Lea of Slade................ Jez Quote
tredders Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Bruce Foxton Andy Rourke Jim Creeggan Graham Maby Duck Dunne All seemed to me to be bassists who contributed to a song, rather than being too showy. Quote
Jam Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Martin Mendez of Opeth, James Macdonough/Steve Digiorgio of Iced Earth (Listen to Damien/The Coming Curse, superb) Steve Harris Edited October 2, 2009 by Jam Quote
Count Bassy Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Andy Fraser -I've never heard anyone say anything negative about him Mick Karn - Ditto Duck Dunn - Ditto Martin Turner - Ditto Pete Stroud - Ditto Jerome Rimson - him neither, but then I've not heard him mentioned at all by anyone but myself I wish I could add Entwhistle, but then he has already been critised in this thread so does not qualify. My only crititism is that he was too good and I have no chance of being able to play like him. Quote
