Who do u think is the best bassist

[Rebel_Cheer_30]

When musical pieces are written for a single instrument.... Like say, a bass?... Is it wanking then?

[Giant Turtle For Fireball]

Bach must have been a wanker with all of his guitar solos.

[Wicked Batgirl]

Cliff Burton, for proof see Cliff 'Em All.

[Leta]

You answered your own question.

Les Claypool, He's just so damn cool.

I do too, i wasn't generalizing about the whole movement, i like most britpop banRAB, it's just certain popular banRAB who do nothing but imitate a banRAB style, instead of doing their own thing... Thats my problem with Oasis, i own Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants, i dig it, but more or less they're The Beatles with Syd Barret-esque vocals, nothing more, plus liking some of their music dosent really change my opinion about Noel and Liam being the most arrogant/pretentious jerks to ever become involved in the music business... And if theres anything worse than Noel and Liam putting Oasis on the same level as The Beatles, it would be Oasis fans doing the same thing.

Alan Davey (Hawkwind) is hard as nails!

Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse is a phenominal bass player. It's just not all about talent, sometimes its about flair and presance, and thats one thing for me that Claypool lacks IMO I mean, he's talented sure, but his licks don't make the hair stand up on the back of my neck, whereas Cliff, Webster do

I really enjoy Roger Waters bass playing with Pink Floyd, he may not be the best but his basslines are very enjoyable to play. Then we have Mike Watt and Peter Hook who I also extremely enjoy their playing. Lest I forget the likes of Paul Charabers, Bob Cranshaw, Scott LaFaro and Charles Mingus who were also very influencial and favourites of mine.
