I like the guy in the band from the Muppet show, he could really lay down the fatbottom '70's style. Lefty too, like all the Muppet guitar/bass/banjo players...why the preponderance of lefties? A mystery.
Seriously 1. Bootsy on monday
2. Larry Graham on tuesday
3. Bootsy on wednesday
4. Larry Graham, thursday
5. Friday, you guessed it ...Bootsy
on the weekend they can invite Flea over to wash their cars.

Seriously dude, check out anything with Allen Woody on it. Eleven years of Allman bros, 4 or 5 Gov't Mule albums (Dose especially) and Blue Floyd. The man could KILL it. I do mean could, God rest his soul.

peace.
 
Alright, I'll bite.

Five favorites:

Jaco Pastorius - Weather Report
Gary Willis - Tribal Tech
Sting
Paul McCartney
Tony Levin - King Crimson
 
In no particular order.....

Geezer Butler - Black Sabbath
Cliff Burton (RIP) - (ex)Metallica
Les Claypool - Primus
Flea - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Rex Brown - Pantera
 
McCartney - Beatles
John Entwhistle - The Who
Jack Bruce - Cream
Mike Inez - Alice In Chains

No particular order...they're all completely different and all completely innovative and competent....gibs
 
Ill say the first 3 on Gibs list and add Joe Puerta of Ambrosia
 
Chris Squire
Greg Lake
John Wetton
John Entwhistle
Stanley Clark
 
Only one person said Jaco! Buy any Weather Report album and tell me he isn't goddamn incredible! You see AlCheck knows his stuff. But besides Jaco, I would have to say Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, and Flea. No matter how good the other ones were, I don't listen to them.
 
yeah but jrlemonz the question was "Who are your 5 favourite bassists?" not "Who are the 5 greatest or most innovative or most technically proficient?"

So I dont think its that surprising that Jaco only made it onto one list.
 
(1)Paul McCartney
(2)Larry Taylor (Canned Heat..nicknamed "The Mole")
(3)Andy Fraser (Free)
(4)John Entwistle
(5)Gosh........can I do about 10 more?
