That band is full of top tier talent. Rudess, Myung, Petrucci, Portnoy…

Sometimes I feel like there’s so much going on that I stop enjoying the song and spend my time trying to figure how they all do what they do lol

I haven’t quite developed my bass ear yet but Justin Chancellor, he’s got some great riffs. Honorary mention to Ryan Martinie, he’s just ridiculous.

It’s no surprise for the name like @TheMadBassist to name John Myung, lol. He’s such a bad ass.

Haha :joy: too funny. JM is a true master on the bass. After watching him play I’m torn between trying to better myself or give up lol

I am surprised no one put Sir Paul-I think a study in how his playing changed over time would be great value.
Definitely Duck Dunn and Carol Kaye on the list.

Man… just ONE?!? So difficult! I’ll compromise and instead of listing ten I’ll list two:

Tim Commerford - Such groove! Such tone! I can’t even listen to RATM without getting bass face.

Phil Lesh - I’ve listened to the Dead for a while, but honestly didn’t focus all that much attention on the bass. Excited to revisit that, while also learning a little something about playing bass in an improvisational jam band context.

I didn’t realize how big of an influence Commerford has been to my wanting to play bass.

I’ve been revisiting some of the songs/albums that I connected with during my more formative years and RATM is definitely a big part of that journey.

Anyone listen to Khruangbin? I’ve seen them every time they’ve come to Toronto.

Laura Lee is a fantastic player IMO!
