I like Marta Altesa because she's extremely easy on the eyes. Am I a bad man?

I've never liked Clif. Got a lot more attention as a bass player than he deserved in my opinion.

 

[JulesMaximus]

That's good bass!!!

 

[MiniDoom]

Gotta love Les.

yeah, i don't think he was an exceptional bassist, but that song was just writing very well with a lot of heart imo.

Lol I was going to post that, or maybe it was "My name is Mud"

Either way...Les is a God as well as Cliff Burton. He's the epitome of early style Metallica...Loved every bit of the early records and HATE the black album and beyond.

That was my first thought to when my buddy sent it to me. "WTF? When did Ron Jeremy start playing bass?"

 

[Chapbass]

OPs video isn't really my thing. I'll give him props for technique though.


I guess I'll contribute Vic to this thread.

Heres some others:


Alain Caron has to be here too. The guys slap technique and economy of motion is absolutely flawless.

Bakithi Kumalo (Love his style, great percussiveness)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ17L4jSRQE

Michael Manring, as was mentioned before, has incredible knowledge of the instrument.

Sticking with the more chill players, Miki Santamaria (I believe hes in a relationship with Marta Altesa, if not they're very close friends)

Bob Fazio is a guy that I absolutely love his style, but hes not very well known.

If you're into the extended range basses, Jean Baudin is great.

And I'll finish with some upright bass playing from Adam Ben Ezra.

I'll add John Myung's name to this thread since I haven't seen it yet. 😉

 

[TwiceOver]

Wow, full thread now. Guess I know what I"m listening to tonight.

 

[Ns1]

I'll add John Myung's name to this thread since I haven't seen it yet. 😉

while he is a fucking AMAZING bassist, there is not one bass solo of his which I find memorable.

 

[lxskllr]

Not especially technical, but I like Mark Sandman's(Morphine) unique approach to the instrument.

Agreed. I'm a huge Myung fan, but nothing sticks out at me besides his hair.


Stefan Lessard from Dave Matthews Band is another one of those underrated bassists, because he very rarely solos. Amazing pocket player though.
