“Geddy should be number 1! He proved that bass isn’t just for keeping the band in time.”
“Geddy could easily play anything that the others above him on this list can play. also, Rush is the only band that has really good bass solos in their songs. I am not sayiing the others are bad because they are not, but the guy from metallica is only there because a lot of people like metallica, but they don’t listen to it for the bass, you can listen to the songs by rush for bass. Victor wooten should be number one”
“There’s Geddy, then there’s all the others.”

“Cliff was a beast, 10 more years of life he coulda been the best. Geddy Lee’s a god. Steve Harris is amazing to say the least. But NO ONE can compete with Les Claypool. its jsut not possible.”
“Listen to his bass solo on Tommy the Cat”
“He is a monster. His work with primus is awesome! Listen to Jerry was a racecar driver!”

“Argueably the greatest bassist of all time. Without Entwistle the very notion of a lead bassist wouldn’t exist. Sure Jaco may have more chops and Les may be more innovative, but they wouldn’t exist without Entwistle.
Entwistle number one damnit!”
“Real tough choice. Geddy and this guy. It’s practically a tie. Geddy may have had better chops but this guy was the original.”
“Without him there would be no lead bassists. I love MetallicA and Rush but John really set down the rules for every bassist after him.”

“Steve Harris is a metal GOD! not only is he an AWESOME bassist, he can also play some amazing solos
IF he wouldn’t have composed RUN TO THE HILLS, HALLOWED BE THY NAME and NUMBER OF THE BEAST well, none of this metallica would have existed. Punk would have overshadowed metal!”
“steve harris a part of beeing an awesome bassist is also, in my opinion, the man behind the succes of iron maiden, cause he’s the man that have composed almost all of maiden’s songs”
“If you don’t vote for steve harris (God’s right hand man, ) then go sit down and actually listen to Iron Maiden! He writes 95 percent of the songs! not only is he the best bassist, he is the best musician ever!
A7X is my fav band, but Johnny at #9? He picks! bassist who pick shouldn’t even be on this list!”
