If Jaco Pastorius isn't in your top 5 then you're either ignorant or retarded

He wasn't in a really commercially popular band or anything. So your average person probably has no clue as to who he is.

Bassists do, obviously.

He's one of those guys I always forget about but he definitely is worthy of a top 5 spot

311 and incubus yes. RHCP not so much. just really like flea's playing.

when it comes to bass, the more slapping and funk, the better.

When page one only had 1 person say Geddy Lee I was going to lose it.

But I see page 2 and 3 have brought some sense to this discussion.

Speaking of GPJ, he has to be one of the best aging artists out there. Dude brings it every night.
