Ok, with youtube links if possible, which bass players do you like / admire / enjoy.
For me?
John Camp of Renaissance.
The late Gary Thain of Uriah Heep.
Chris Squire of Yes.
Note to rubato, Quaddy if he's looking in, this is a thread for bass players you like / admire / enjoy not for one upmanship of the "Joe Bunion is the greatest bass player ever to have lived cos I like him so he must be so there" variety.

Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Re: A thread for Sue's son!
Funny you should mention Wetton Meade, when I saw the Heep back in the 70's Thain had just died, and was replaced by Wetton.

Well, like I've said before, I won't say anything bad about anyone who ever played with dear departed Jeffrey Lee.
But seriously, was no one going to even mention Flea?

How childlike the retard is; "Waaa, my bass players are better than yours...Waaaa..." Just like a little spoiled brat.

There is a hidden line at the end of the OP, quoting it brings it up, how predictable some people are.....

Re: A thread for Sue's son!
Now now Gob... Rubato's opinions count for much more than ours because he is so much more sophisticated than the rest of us plebes. He's even heard of Kafka doncher know!
On topic... Pastorius is a talented and innovative melodic bassist but when it comes to performing the role that a bassist is meant to perform I find him uninspiring and unimaginative. Call me old fashioned but I like to see a musician sort out the rudiments of their instrument before trying to reinvent it...
