Hey, no matter how old you are those bassists kick ass. Anyway, my top five would be
5.Dave Brockie (Even though he lacks great instrumental talent, he's the man.)
4.Victor Wooten
3.John Entwistle (The Who)
2.Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
1.Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
actaually, while Brockie is a sub-standard Guitarist, I aways thought he was a damn good bass player. his Death Piggy stuff
The way he can sing and play always got me. I've always liked playing along to Death Piggy songs. I do fine with the bassline, but throw on the vocals and I get all screwed up.
