davidmpires Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'm the best player ever to play in my band, that's what they say anyway. I'm happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMech Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 No, but he IS an awesome bassist. At the moment my favourite is Richard Bona, he is just brilliant, and a voice to match as well! I think I'm secretly waiting for a Top Trumps 'Bassists Edition'. Maybe it would be easier to make them myself, although I'm not sure what the categories would be. waist size would have to be one of them, along with weight of backline.

Jobiebass Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 [quote name='Adrenochrome' post='568732' date='Aug 14 2009, 10:15 AM']For the general public, I reckon Flea could be regarded as the 'best' bass player. (I reckon he's got more people started playing bass than Jacob Jazzstoryface...)[/quote] I got started because I loved the doors and really wanted to play some of their songs. wasnt till after I got my first bass I realised the Doors didnt have a bassist (well they hd a session bassist on a few tracks but not many, Peace frog is the only one that comes to mind) Flea is my fav bassist, but I wouldnt say hes the best in the world. Definately influnced my playing a lot more then say Jaco or Bootsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez[/quote] Given your profile pic, I'd have thought you'd have gone for Phil Lesh. p.s. There is no 'best bassist' but if there was he/she would have to be a good allrounder which Flea never seems to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexclaber Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'm 100% sure Flea would deny it. (And no, only the true best bass player doesn't deny his best bass playerness). Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their only redeeming feature is that they're thoroughly lost in the mix - but for lesson in how not to play bass find the isolated tracks on youtube.
