Great Rock Bassists your Top 10.Rock not Jazz. But Hey what about Reggae

Wow, JPJ doesn’t even get a mention. He was the GLUE of Zepp.

Sting… 

Geddy…

really? Nothing? Too many to list. To each his (or her) own.

jerryg123,

What's your problem Bozo? I don't have to list ten all at once. I'm thinking as I go along. And I didn't try to challenge your list.

Rules are meant to be broken .... Honorable mention, Les Claypool

WOW!!! Not one mention of John Paul Jones (led Zeppelin) Not necessarily surprising because he was flanked by Bonham, Page & Plant who were the superstars. I came to the understanding that JPJ must be the most under rated bass player of all times AFTER seeing "How The West was Won" (which I recommend) Seeing him play mandolin and bass pedals at the same time won me over.

Dusty Hill (ZZ Top) was another great bassist. During the Deguello tour, i watched him play the bass line and modified rhythm on the bottom strings at the same time.

Of course John Entwistle has to be included. I had the great privilege of playing with a good bass player who could play "Can You See The Real Me" was quite a workout.

IMO, you don’t get to the pro level without being good. And at some point it comes down to style and who’s you like. To you, they may be the best. But they are all good IMO

@jerryg123 ,

Why are you so hostile?

Is this thread so important to your life that you feel it necessary to rudely chastise anyone who doesn't obey your rigid orders as to how they should be responding?

You are an interesting character ( much like your former usernames).

Your posts run the gamut from polite and informative to childish and insulting. I notice the time of their writing has much to do with this. The later in the day they are written, the more insulting they become, and your grammar takes on a much less refined, childlike quality, as if a different person is writing them. This is also a trait of your former usernames. Yes, interesting indeed.
