Who's the Greatest Bass Player Ever?

[TheZohan]

Now who said, "You can tune a piano, But ya can't tune a fish" ???

RC

thes the name of a REO speedwagon album

Ah LOL!!! Your talkin that old 60s Hippy standard...
The Who were always a little too fruity for me...
Too tinny sounding, and not enough power..
Always liked Cream better...

Sabbath set the NEW standard... And started a
whole new genre.. Besides, if you isolate the base
tracks on those 2 songs, it becomes obvious...
The "Geez" was the man!!!

But its cool, everybody has their pref...

Yes, I agree... Geddy and Flea are very very good bassists. In my personal opinion, I believe that Geddy is more than just good at the bass because he does more. He plays the bass, synth, pedals, and sing all at the same time. For those who dont believe that, just look up "Rush" on youtube and find some live performances. Geddy can play right on tempo with the songs and sing in tune.

Sorry had to put this on there.  I am a big Primus fan, and this is just awesome.
