I really like Cliff Burton, Tim Commerford and Dirk Lance. The guy from Muse has a fun style too.

Hell yeah Bootsy Collins!

is this limited to rock music? if we're doing bassists from any genre, i'd have to say that Jaco Pastorius and Victor Wooten are the best hands down. if it's just rock then i'd say Les Claypool and Geddy Lee.

My favorite bassist of all time would have to be between Cliff Burton and Jaco Pastorius.

i almost feel obligated to say Les claypool cause damn is he good.

Another fav of mine is Brian Ritchie from the femmes.

Les Claypool indeed, a god among men. Rob Wright from NoMeansNo, providing all the rhythm grooves. Tony Lombardo of the original Descendents, shreds. Karl Alvarez of the modern Descendents and All. Grant and Phil both from Subhumans. Grant Matthews of Rudimentary Peni, damn that guy kills it. Joey DeMaio of Manowar because, I mean, they're the loudest, literally. And no shortage of bass solos with him.

Leon Wilkerson
