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. He is truly an example of how some people are just built different.

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.

My favorite bassist of all time is Vern rumsey from unwound. A little underground but he has written some of my favorite bass lines ever. December is sick

@dunkpayne2166 5 месяцев назад

Excellent!

@stephanehoueix4587 3 года назад

My favorite is Tony Levin. He has done a lot of great bass lines with King Crimson, Peter Gabriel and many others. And of course with a Chapman Stick also.
