Your Top 3 Bass Players...
any genre...
Mine are 1) Geddy Lee - Rush 2) Lemmy (R.I.P.) - Motorhead 3) Les Claypool - Primus I was also a huge Cliff Burton (Metallica's original Bass Player) fan.. Truly ahead of his time in the genre he played.. Kind of like a Lead Bass role..

Not voting , i saw a special about Jaco Pastorius and how he changed the way bass players played. The only other person i know of who is credited with changing the bass world is John Entwistle...
But , I really do not pay much attention to base players ... Dan |

Paul McCartney - Underrated IMO
John Entwhistle Chris Squire - Played a Bass as if it were a lead guitar

he was voted no 2 of all time by a Rolling Stone reader poll. Maybe you have not taken the time to really listen to him. He is considered by many professional musicians as an outstanding player.
