Jaco pastorious is the goat. Not only was he an incredible bassist just skill wise alone, but an incredible all around musician as well. He was an amazing composer. Portrait of Tracy is one of the most beautiful songs to ever be played on a bass. And he composed some of the best songs EVER period. Havona, teen town, Donna Lee and so much more.

I'm a little sad that nowhere on the list, or in any of the comments that I read through (most of them) was Robert Trujillo (recently with Metallica and previously with Ozzy Osbourne,) but his work with Suicidal Tendencies and especially Infectious Grooves was awe inspiring. I'm not a bassist, so I'm probably not the best judge of bassists, but I thought he deserves at least an honorable mention, if not a spot on the list.

Geddy Lee was practically apologizing when he inducted Yes belatedly into the Hall of Fame. Geddy's tone was totally Chris Squire, although Chris's was a bit better.

My two favorite bass players are hardly ever mentioned and it's really sad. James Jamerson who played on 40 Motown too 10 hits. Mike Mills bassist for REM who was the backbone of everything they did. .

Mick Karn from Japan and Dali's Car an 80's fretless icon who imbued both bands with such a distinctive sound.

Victor Wooten gave me a 30 minute bass lesson after a 3.5 hour show, when I was 15 years old. Victor is an incredible bassist. But an even better person

Yin and Yang is one of my all time favorite albums.

My Top One: Flea. I listened to him when Red Hot Chili Peppers were warming up to perform at the student center at UCLA , almost thirty years ago. They were well known locally but not superstars yet. All the guys were warming up and tuning on stage and I just walked into the student center. No one was there. I sat down in the middle rows. Flea was playing around and tuning his guitar and then started playing . He played for a good five minutes before the other guys joined in and they just started jamming for fun....to an audience of one. Needless to say, it was a very special experience for me and I appreciate the moment even more today because I don't think anyone else will get to listen to the RHCP play just for them.

Billy Sheehan does a pretty awesome solo in the song - 'I'm the hell outta here' from G3: Live in Denver (2004). I play guitar so no, I'm not a bass player but this solo from sheehan is one of my favourite parts of the whole concert. You probably have to purchase the whole live concert to see it though. i've searched for the isolated solo segment on YT but with no luck. Pretty sure you can purchase the concert on YT.

my personal favorite bassists may be Robert Trujilo (in the INFECTIOUS GROOVES), Fat Mike for the compositon (in NOFX, The Decline), and for sure Victor Wooten for mostly everything ! 🤘

I'm not sure if Cliff ever reached his true potential, his technical improvement between 3 albums is insane. Alas, he never had chance.

Can't believe Davie never played any LZ's baselines. JPJ is a legend. He's best baselines are on Ramble On, Whole Lotta Love, How Many More Times, The Lemon Song, If it keeps on raining (rough track) etc. He definitely deserves top 10 spot.

I agree with you. Davie504 said immigrant song was his best know bass line......lmao! It's clearly stairway to heaven. But, he has lots of great bass lines in the discography of zeppelin. Like what he said about geddy lee of rush......bassists today and the past 3 decades or even back to the 70s can say geddy was an influence in his playing, he's one of my top 3. Davie504 clearly only regards "slap bass" technic as the best. I'd absolutely lmao to see Davie504 have a bass off against John myung of dream theatre, Steve Harris of iron maiden or geddy lee of rush. Billie sheehan? Really? He's ok but doesn't deserve a top 10 in anybodys list, lol! I can agree with his list though, some great bassist, but some not a lot of people have heard of.

I think John Entwistle deserves to be a bit higher too. I’m guessing Davie probably doesn’t listen to much early hard rock based on that and not including JPJ though, which is okay

I'm certainly not surprised to not meet there Ray Shulman from Gentle Giant, but he was a virtuoso anyway. Quite like his bandmate keyboardist Kerry Minnear (who was definitely the greatest keyboardist in all prog rock), Ray did not usually play extra fast bass lines - he played extra intricate ones... And he also played violin...

thank you for adding jaco. my dad introduced me to him and i always thought he was the best bass player in the world.

Has Davie ever even played a Jamerson line?

Davie has obscure bassists on his list who actually have skill and not just bassists whose bands happen to be popular. I love it.

Mike Porcaro ( TOTO), Mohini Dey, Marcel Jacob ( from Talisman, R.I.P.), Leland Sklar, Mark King ( Level 42), Bryan Beller

Louis Johnson from the Brothers Johnson is a name for me. And the one hit wonder Tyrone Brunson - The Smurf

"Enter Sandman of Puppets" Love that song! Sad about JPJ, he's def one of the most underrated musicians, key to his band.

@@Aethenthebored It is not all about technical proficiency. JPJ is better technically than Paul McCartney, that's for sure. But both of them were great musicians and ensemble players.

I think "the Lemon Song" is one of John Paul Jones' best bass lines. Would have been a much better choice to showcase his melodic style. Also, Geddy Lee is a wizard and is probably in the top 3, but definitely above Cliff, as much as I like him.

Frankly to be a top 10 bassist you need to have brought something new to the part. I can see Bootsie being on the list just as i can see Jaco... but honestly what had Wooten done beyond copying what greats before him already did.

My fav bassist list would be 10. Les Claypool 9. Rob Trujüilo (idk how to spell his last name) 8. Geedy Lee 7. Flea 6. Billie Sheehan 5. John Enwistle 4. Jason Newstead (Many won’t know who this is but he was Metallicas bassist in the 1986-2003 era) 3.Larry Graham (cuz of slap) 2. Cliff Burton (The insane skill to play For Whom The Bell Tolls with all the distortion is amazing) 1. Davie (The maker of bass)

And one more: Verdine White of Earth,Wind and Fire. Listen to the live album Gratitude to appreciate Verdine laying it down ❤

Glad to see you included Jaco. Jaco was more than great. He was a virtuoso. But as others have mentioned, Chris Squire's absence is criminal. Yes was practically a bass lead band, and his bass work was some of the most complex in rock.

I agree Chris should've been on the list, but Steve Howe had the leading role in Yes, imo.

Almost everything that has to do with the artistic and the way in which the artist feels and expresses his art, we, the recipients, receive it in very different ways. It is very subjective to rate or give a list. But I agree with several on your list. I would include Lenny Kravitz's bassist, Gail Ann Dorsey. Greetings from Mexico.

Only 2 and 1/2 minutes in and I had to pause 'till I quit laughing, 3hrs later. Man, you make the best vids. Iconic is such a versatile word.
