Good call. Are there no Jack Bruce fans here? And here's a name maybe no one's heard of: the late Skip Battin. He played in the Byrds along with Clarence White. Helluva rock bassist.

I got to see jack bruce play last summer, amazing.

Les claypool and victor wooten are head and shoulders above the rest in my mind.

Nice name drop! He was in the New Riders of the Purple Sage for a couple years as well.

Roger Waters will always be the greatest to me. Second to him, my favorite is George Porter Jr. Guy can strait up shred! LINK


Victor Wooten
Jack Bruce from Cream
John Paul Jones
Les Claypool
The bass player from Lotus, Jesse Miller
John Entwistle from the WHo is probably the GOAT
John Entwistle

I'm digging this list, solid.

On a bass-related note, the other day I saw this video of Billy Sheehan playing a Slayer song, Chemical Warfare, at Metal Masters and thought it was kind of funny LINK
