Dood Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 [quote name='Faithless' post='431324' date='Mar 11 2009, 10:30 AM']As someone mentioned before, I think, it's not a [i]fair [/i]question, as there's no [i]fair [/i]answer, when talking about 'who's the best'.. It's just because nobody has heard most BC'ers playing, so, how the hell can you judge by a few players, that you've heard? Oh, I'm saying this not because I'm feeling a better player than those mentioned, but this thread simply looks a bit cockamamie to me.. All the best, Faith.[/quote] Well, I think thats a fair point, Bass Playing isn't a competition and there is no 'best', but remember the OP is 'who is your fave', not 'who is best' with a tiring discussion over defining what makes one style better than another. My favourite bass player on the planet who I owe so much to, is the unassuming, quiet DEMI-GOD that is John Deacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, like your playin' Nick.. I seem to remember seeing you play at a guitar show, but didn't twig you were on BC until I met you at a bass bash![/quote] ...and he only had 2 strings! Cheers Dood!! Many thanks! Yes, the original post I made has nothing to do with who is best (no such thing really is there, its not athletics!) - there are some lovely players on here and I was simply listing those I've seen and admired...there are perhaps hundreds more who I'm not aware of.

thedontcarebear Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I've only ever seen Nick play really, and Geoff and MZivtins over the years, but they don't post here much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hey Nick, I'll have to meet up with you at another bass bash or something and bring my 4 string with me... proper slap monster. We can be the anti-social pair in the staple factory corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I would have to go with the mighty Dood, as his playing is something to behold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
