I ignored that part
My favorite bassists at the moment.
P-nut (Aaron Wills) - 311
Chris Wolstenholme - Muse
Simon Gallup - the Cure
Mark Hoppus - blink 182, +44
Hunter Burgan - AFI
I concur. I narrowed it down to 11 and here they are in alphabetical order by first name.
Derek Forbes
Flea
Jaco Pastorius
Louis Johnson
Mick Karn
Paul McCartney
Peter Hook
Sting
Tina Weymouth
Tony Levin
Verdine White
P.S. Nigel Tufnel approves of a list of 11, but he is probably angry that I didn’t include Derek Smalls.
My “top” 5 are the ones I enjoy listening to, partly because of the bands they are(were) in. So no particular order
Rhonda Smith
Louis Johnson
Paul McCartney
Victor Wooten
Larry Graham
and as a +1
Bootsy Collins
Another *1 for me would be Mike Dirnt.
Good call on the alter bridge bass man. Underrated!
For my 5 favourite bass players I am going to say Sting, Geddy Lee, Brian Marshall, Tim Commerford and Justin Chancellor.
This list changes all the time…well except for the first guy
- Geddy
- Nick Harmer
- Matt Freeman
- Flea
- Andy Fraser
Subject to change
- Gabe Nelson
- Tim Commerford
- Victor Wooten
- Mark Hoppus
- Geddy Lee
So after reading other’s lists, I was reminded that I need to add Commerford, Dirnt, Duff and Geezer to my list, but I can’t drop anyone off… So I just gotta make 9 people fit in a 5 people list… Gotta work on that…
11>5
See me after class
Extra credits?
1a-Steve Harris
1b-Geddy Lee
3-Cliff Burton
4-Geezer Butler
5-Duff McKagan
(1) Francis “Rocco” Prestia (Tower Of Power)
(2) Allen Woody (Allman Brothers/ Gov’t Mule)
(3) Kim Clarke (DeFunkt)
(4) Kinga Glyk (Kinga Glyk Trio)
(5) Joe Dart (Vulfpeck)
Not sure who’d be in my top 5, but Alex James is absolutely my favourite.
Not in any particular order and I might go over 5.
Remco Hendrix: Remco’s groove lab
Davie504
Julia from juliaplaysgroove
The two guys from Maajong
Flea when he wears his pound puppy pants
Robert Trujillo, a recent discovery for me.
Stanley, Marcus, Victor, and Louis Johnson
There are so many others, picking just 5 would be tough. I could
probably make 4 or 5 list of just 5 each.
If you’re talking about the guy trying to hurt his 5 string bass on a stage with only a drummer and a lot of amps… yes. That’s me!

I just wish that there were more Toast Machine videos and/or that you had been active when I lived in the bay area
