Who is the worlds best bass guitar player?!
Question: Who is the worlds best bass guitar player!?
I'm only asking about currently active ones!. And I should properly refer to the instrument as "electric bass"!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
In terms of best all around in general popular music genres, I still don't think you can beat the melodic lines of Paul McCartney after all these years!. But for this modern stuff the kids are playing!.!.!.!.!.I'd like to bestow the honor on Adam Nitti, an indie musician -producer-composer!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Jaco Pastorius, by far!.
runners up would be Les Claypool and Flea!.
Most influential currently playing would be Steve Harris, Iron Maiden!.
Greatest of all time, by anyone who actually comprehends musical theory, would obviously have been Cliff Burton!. But, being dead, he doesn't qualify!. Which is sad, as I can only imagine where he would have taken us by now had he lived!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

While Jaco Pastorius is VERY good, I would put Les Claypool above him!. Most people haven't had the pleasure of really seeing what Les Claypool can do!. Geddy Lee would be a runner up!. Flea doesn't even make the top 5!.!.!.!. Sorry!.!. Fles does things that anyone can do!. The Best Bass players of all time Living AND Dead are:
5!. Robert Trujillo
4!. Geddy Lee
3!. Jaco Pastorius
2!. Les Claypool
And number ONE all time best (R!.I!.P!.)
1!. CLIFF BURTON (innovative and cutting edge!. He planned on starting a side project but was never able to do so because of his sudden death!. You can only imagine the greatness that would have come from that!!)Www@Enter-QA@Com
