I've tried it once, playing bass and shaking my head like he does.

I got dizzy in 10 seconds.
Respect!

I noticed how the top 10 best guitarists thread seems to have attracted a lot of responses. Although I agree it’s essentially pointless they are good fun anyway. I thought it would be interesting to do the same thing for electric bass players, lets say Top 10 favourite rather than best because its less contentious. My guess is that many of them will correspond to bands with top 10 guitarists so I’m expecting to see Flea rather a lot.

Here’s my top 10

Jaco Pastorius
Anthony Jackson
Marcus Miller
Bernard Edwards
Nathan Watts
Chuck Rainey
Louis Johnson
Duck Dunn
Mark King (very 80’s I know but did a lot to raise the profile)
Lemmy (for being Lemmy)

great choices man, i agree with most of those. Miller is awsome..
 
Well....how bout Geddy Lee?.... and did I mention Geddy Lee?

Others would be:

Ross Valory
Stanley Clark
Stu Hamm
Geezer Butler


And My ultimate favorite...The guy from Hansen

:D
 
Since you guys have nailed almost everyone I would've listed... here's a few additions...

Dirk Lance - Incubus (holy hell!!)
Bobby Sheehan (RIP) - Blues Traveler

I think that's about it...
 
I forgot to mention Geddy Lee! :D

Just kidding...

I wanted to mention the guy from Racer X...... John Alderate.
he's underrated and he's bad as F#$k!

Another one would be the guy from STP. He's not flashy at all but man....he has a supa phat sound!

Robert De Leo from Stone Temple Pilots. He is a hell of a good bassist. I used to see them locally when they were called Mighty Joe Young.

Did I mention Geddy Lee ? !!!
