BEST BASS GUITARIST...JUST FOR KICKS...

[harls]

These guys are all great but there are so many greats. Bootsy Collins, James Jamerson, Noel Redding, Jaco Pastorius, Carol Kaye, Paul McCartney, Cliff Burton, Donald Duck Dunn

[Wub]

A decent list and so many others to mention. Check out a youngster, Cody Wright. Simply amazing.

I wouldn't say he is in the list of the best, but the guy who inspired me to pick up the bass was Jason Newstead.

[Susquehanna Birder]

HOW BOUT THAT TIA WILKENFELD. SHE PLAYED WITH JEFF BECK BAND AND KEPT UP WITH HIM.

Tal is pretty awesome.

[Susquehanna Birder]

Jaco is near the top.

Also Michael Manring.

If you want to go to the acoustic/bluegrass route...Missy Raines.

Also need to add Marcus Miller on this list.
