The Schmoe Band - Gimme some bass

[Jerk Shapiro]

I choose Flea because he is a funky, funky, funky little man, and I would really love to be in a band with him. However Vic Wooten and Jaco are by far the two greatest bass players of all-time. JPJ would also be a fucking force to have in a band, as well.

Tough list.

John Paul Jones

Chris Squire is my favourite of these. How I love the growl of a Rickenbacker.

Though Tony Levin should have been an option, that man is the very definition of versatility.

Lick Jerk says, it's all about the Flea man... He's not the best bassist ever but I like his style the most.

[Brando @$$ Fat]

John Entwistle. Damn, I love The Who.

[Jon Lyrik]

Flea is good, but even he wouldn't consider himself as good as Jaco Pastorius, who not only understood complex lines but tone, timbre and how to milk it out without electronic gimmickry.

Geddy Lee
