Sprnknwn 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2005 My choice is... Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a real machine!! and in a more crazier way, Les Claypool from Primus. The are some other great bass players but I think these two reclaim more attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caveman 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2005 Not bad choices for mainstream stuff...Other excellent, but more obscure bassists: Victor Wooten, John Myung (Dream Theater), Billy Sheehan. More on the technical side (not saying that Flea isn't!), but still a lot of fun to listen to...My dad picked up an old electric bass in the trash the other day...I've been practicing on it a little bit (I'm a guitarist, lol) and I'm starting to get the hang of it. Definitely a cool instrument. Still gotta learn the saxophone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love both of them, but they both put out extremely different styles of music. Maybe that's why i like them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
