For a little bit of Christmas fun, thought it would be interesting to do a poll of our all time favourite bass players.

 

Probably impossible for many of us to name just one, so I'm going to suggest we each get to vote for up to three legends. 

 

I've got a list of 15 down to get things going, but if one of your top three is not on the list - no problems at all: just name them and I'll get them added on. UPDATE - apparently a max poll list of 30 is possible, so the list is now closed. Sorry for those of you who's favourite 3 bass players are not on the list, but hopefully at least one or two of them will be up there.

 

If you fancy sharing what your favourite bass line is by any / or all of your three favourite bass players, even better!

Nathan East, John McVie and Duck Dunn.

 

But on another day it could easily be Wilton Felder, Reggie McBride and Hutch Hutchinson.

 

Well let me know which day it is...

Jean Baudin and Yves Carbonne need adding please! Maybe Michael Manring too... 🙂

 

Oh, and Bill Clements too, because the man's a legend for using the bass to say FU to disabilities.
