Favorite Bass Players

• pmoney25

  

  Who here enjoys the skill of a great bass player? I play mainly guitar but dabble on the old 4 string occasionally. Who are some great bass players in your opinion?
  
  Victor Wooten- Amazing, Obviously a fashion icon also. First Video is the best.
  
  
  
  (Around 3:30 Mark)
  
  Cliff Burton- Imagine what Metallica Could have done if Cliff were still alive
  
  
  
  Jaco Pastorious- Considered by Many to be best Bass player of all time
  
  
  
  Couple other more well known guys I like, Flea, Geddy Lee, Les Claypool, Jeff Ament(Pearl Jam), and Justin Chancellor from Tool
  
  Obviously bass is easier to be a beginner at but I would put these guys up against any Guitar Gods and say they are just as good if not better than most in their field of choice.
  
  Couple favorite Riffs/Solos
  
  Anesthesia(Pulling Teeth), NIB from Sabbath, John Entwhistle Solo on My generation
