John Entwistle is the best bar none. He will always be the best bassist even though he is no longer with us.

[swive]

Les Claypool.

Lee from RHCP. he's really good. just about the only kickass bassist I can think of at the moment.

Sid Vicious. The way he plays the same note over and over again makes me want to play bass all the more </Sarcasm>

XD Well, I'll give him one thing, as a far as decomposed ashes go, he can still play the instrument better than me.

[AntiangelicAngel]

Kevin Callahan is the greatest bassist of all time.

OMIGOD, YES!!! He was so awesome, they had to unplug the bass to keep the audience's heads from exploding from all the AWESOMOCITY!!!! Wait... what do you mean for the opposite reason..?

I don't understand that sentence. I take it you are taking the piss out of the fact that he was to drugged up to play and often had his bass unplugged.

This is why I love him, aswesome showman, excellent abraisivness in performing.

I guess that's true. He was a very fine showman. What he lacked in talent he made up with using his naturual charisma.

[BaronVonBadGuy]

Les Claypool from Primus of course.

Mike

I forgot to say who I thought, I think Roger Waters is awesome, becuase he did more than just bass. Even though he's kind of a dick head
