XxUpinsiderxX: My Favorite Bassists

BMDrummer 07.03.14	good list, Geddy Lee from Rush is my favorite
Friday13th 07.03.14	3, 4 and 6 yeah Geddy Lee [294374], Chris Squire, John Entwistle, and Stanley Clarke are also amazing. My own style probably reflects Paul McCartney most since I'm good at making lines but I'm no virtuoso.
insanedrexl1 07.03.14	Great list Mark King Steve Digiorgio Dominic Lapointe Eric Langlois
dimsim3478 07.03.14	Dan Andriano from Alk3

Onirium 07.03.14	Chris Squire
DikkoZinner 07.03.14	Steve DiGiorgio[2]

danielcardoso 07.04.14	How is it possible that no one even mentioned Gene Simmons?
SaneTBP 07.04.14	Charles Mingus>>>>>>>>>>>
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	2 and 5 are so dull, but they are amazing players regardless..
dimsim3478 07.05.14	Charles Mingus>>>>>>>>>>> [2]
Lowder91bird 07.05.14	Good list. My favorite bassist is Joe Lester of Intronaut.
jefflebowski 07.05.14	i assume the person who mentioned gene simmons was joking
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	lol gene simmons
theacademy 07.05.14	most of these guys play other instruments too
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	what does that matter? lol
theacademy 07.05.14	if they play other instruments then they aren't pure bassists you idiot
jefflebowski 07.05.14	seeing as pretty much all technically proficient bassists can play more than one instrument it's irrelevant anyway
riffariffic7 07.05.14	Vince Hornsby from Sevendust has always impressed me. Les Claypool from Primus is outstanding. Tim Commerford for Rage Against the Machine and Rex Brown from Pantera kills it too. Bobby Sheehan from Blues Traveler is great too. So many great ones that we're probably overlooking here.
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	@theacademy Less of the idiot, you ass clown. And it doesn't mean a fucking thing. They play bass in the said bands, doesn't mean shit if they play other instruments.
theacademy 07.05.14	how can you even type that out you imbecile like literally read those words out loud and come back here
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	What does it matter if they play another instrument? Does it make them any less of a great player or any less of an asset to the band? No it doesn't. So less of the insults and back in your hole.
theacademy 07.05.14	literally can't beliece i am efen having this discussion right now wow grow up u idiot if they play other instrument then they are not "bass player" in dictionary definition of "bass player" are you rly that dense?
theacademy 07.05.14	this is supposed to be a definitive list of the all time best pure bass players
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	Oh I must have missed where upinsider put "pure bass players" -- oh wait, he never. It's bassists he likes. Hense how irrelevant it is in pointing out some of them play other instruments.
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	And you want to talk about being grown up, I'm not the one throwing insults about.
theacademy 07.05.14	I was being helpful u dickhole
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	haha done with this
theacademy 07.05.14	yea obviously you are done u just got owned hard u fucking dunce
theacademy 07.05.14	deuces bitch. walk on home boy
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	Keep trollin'
theacademy 07.05.14	yea if calling me a troll helps you process your conversational inadequacies, then by all means go crazy lol
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	Conversational inadequacies? You gave little to no explination for as to why it matters they play other instruments. You just got your back up and started having a hissy fit when I mentioned why.
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	Fucking issues man, need to grow the fuck up.
theacademy 07.05.14	its called a dictionary dumnass. look it up
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	its called a dictionary dumnass. look it up Think you're due to look at one yourself lol
theacademy 07.05.14	lol im reccing you a dictionary b/c it appears that english isn't your first language lmao
riffariffic7 07.05.14	Wow, didn't realize there was a slugfest going on here...
theacademy 07.05.14	meh, i've had better
fallenbird 07.05.14	A bass player is a musician who plays a bass instrument. It does not require that you do not play anything else. You can know how to play keyboards or guitar and you can be called a guitar player and a keyboard player it doesn't matter that you know other instruments.
theacademy 07.05.14	lol are you even speaking ENGLISH what is going on with these people
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	I think you'll find it's you that's talking shit academy
theacademy 07.05.14	oh yea? sorry i cant have time for this today. i play bass in a real band (something you have no idea how to do). peace out simpleton
Havey 07.05.14	"I think you'll find it's you that's talking shit academy" rip the english language
theacademy 07.05.14	lol
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	Hiding behind the fact you are talking horse shit, mate.
VheissuCrisis 07.05.14	Peter Hook.
jefflebowski 07.05.14	i'd better quit my band, seeing as i play guitar and cello as well as bass i'm obviously not a bassist and should leave it to someone who plays only one instrument
DrGonzo1937 07.05.14	Don't say that Jeff, he might start freaking out again.
danielcardoso 07.05.14	"i assume the person who mentioned gene simmons was joking" - jefflebowski Of course I was joking Jeff ;) Still love KISS' early days, though.
theacademy 07.05.14	haha a band with a cello u must be lame as fuck
