Favorite Bassists

Anavrin · January 26, 2010, 11:43:47 AM

The bass guitar is my favorite musical instrument. Along with the drums, it provides the concrete foundation of the song (at least, most of the time). It's an extremely versatile instrument (it can be played in many different styles). Who are your favorite bassists?

Here are mine:

Les Claypool (Primus)

Ryan Martinie (Mudvayne)

Krist Novoselic (Nirvana)

Shavo Odadjian (System of a Down)

Tony Kanal (No Doubt)

Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Cliff Williams (AC/DC)
Gene Simmons (Kiss)
Brian Marshall (Alter Bridge, Creed)
