In perusing the posts over the past few weeks, I know we have quite a few bass players on the site, as well as musicians who play other instruments, and plenty of music lovers in general.
As for me, it's the instrument I've always wanted to learn to play.
So, guys & gals - whose bass playing are YOU really into?
-
i really like thebass player from primus. don't kow his name or anything, but i was listening to a cd earlier and remember how much i do enjoy it.

That would be Les Claypool, and he's one of my favorites, too O0
He's also the bass player in about a gazillion "side projects" too.

Some of my favorites:
Paul McCartney
Chris Squire - Yes
Marz
-
Steve Harris from Iron Maiden.
-
Solid choices, all of them.. The bass groove in "Roundabout"(Yes) is outstanding!
Steve Harris from Iron Maiden.
Hey Schro - did ya know Steve's a self taught bass player? :o
-
Geddy Lee - Rush
Rex Brown - Pantera
Michael Anthony - Old Van Halen
Plus a few more.....

I'll throw in a few of my faves (The list is long!) from some different styles of music, since Rock has been well represented so far -
Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Solo artist)
Stanley Clarke
and from the rock school
Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
and
Stefan Lessard (Dave Mathews Band)

Les is one of my favorites also. His Oysterhead side project was pretty cool.

It almost had to be! Les, Trey Anastasio, and Stewart Copeland in the same band? The amount of talent is staggering! O:O

Yeah, that combined talent is out of this world. Their music is awesome, but I don't think it translated very well on to CD. I saw them live at the Greek Theater in Berkeley and it was awesome!

Yeah! Stanley Clarke and Flea. I saw Stanley Clarke with Chick Corea and Return to Forever in '77 (oh sh*t, did I just date myself?)

I got to see them in their Eliminator, Afterburner, and Recycler, tours,, they put on a great show,, and sound great. One of the tours,, I think Recycler,, they had the Black Crows open for them,, I liked their album,, but they were so trashed they sucked. But ZZ made up for it.

Exactly Tom, Black Crows opened for them when I went also....

Hmmm... I could have sworn Musicman000 had a post last night where he mentioned Jaco Pastorius . I know next to nothing about this guy...Haven't really heard him play, but I understand that he is supposedly to the bass what Jimi Hendrix is to guitar.
Gonna throw out another favorite - John Myung (Dream Theater) - gotta love someone who can pull off playing a 6 string bass that well! O0

I was thinking about adding Jaco to the list as i started treading this thread.
Victor Wooten
Stanley Clark
Marcus Miller
Flea
Geddy Lee
One that probably no one has heard of is Jean Baudin
he plays 9 and 11 string basses, sounds amazing, nothing like a bass guitar though.
Take a listen to some of his solo work

I'm listening to this as I respond...and it's quite different and cool. It doesn't show any really clear photos of his bass, but based on the sounds I'm hearing, I'm wondering if what he's playing isn't a bass variation of the Chapman Stick? (Interesting side note here, I went to high school with Emmett Chapman's <the inventor of the Chapman Stick> son, Don.)
-
No, it's not a chapman stick, search his name on youtube, there's multiple videos of him playing.
