Flea is seen as some bass god, and while he's very good, as a bassist myself I think he's overrated by a lot of non musicians because he's flea.

1. Les Claypool
2. John Paul Jones
3. Flea
4. Mike Gordon
5. Phil Lesh

No particular order, and I put phil on there mostly for his writing ability, also pretty cool that Jerry brought him into the band and had to teach him how to play bass.
