Jaco Pastorius....I also like Flea, Entwistle and Chris Squire.
OT: Best Bass Guitar Player
- Thread starter 9nationalchampionships
- Start date
I was going to mention Commerford. Which is another great "best" thread, thought for me. I will start it later.
Most musicians don’t consider the bass guitar as legit and more background but the truly great ones can play lead with the bass. Lots of good entries in this thread
I had a Rush fanboy lose his mind on me here because I once said I thought Neil Peart was overrated.
I think this is just an awesome live performance from Pink Floyd where the song almost morphs into a funk, disco, church experience by the end. The bass lines come alive more so than you hear on the album version. Something between the bass/keys/lead guitar..
That is nonsense. Bass, drums and the piano players left heand are the backbone of a rhythm section. Any musicians who don't consider a bass player as legit are not real musicians.
Scott Devine (Scott's Bass Lessons) gives a shout out to Billy Sheehan in a video that was uploaded yesterday.
Perfect timing.

I have played in a band most of my adult life....what about you?
You probably think the cowbell or tambourine is a lead
Lol. Yeah I was in 2 of the biggest bands in Pittsburgh. Shonuff and Formula 412. Ive been on stages in over 30 states and Canada. Google me bitch
I thought youd say something like that. Im sorry I never let your band open for us before. Nothing personal. Probably just a numbers thing
You win! I mostly played in bands playing in front of friends at parties. I rarely played when our group was even called a band. The group changed many times over the years but we had fun. BTW I play drums

The Rush haters in here remind me of how college football fans hate on Alabama...the best always get taken down by the fans of lesser bunches
Nobody is hating on them
They are mocking their weirdo fans who are cult like in their devotion
In fairness, most are techie nerds and the concerts were always sausage fests. I did manage to get my wife to become a fan, and she popped on a Rush tune from Counterparts album (when she first became a fan) while we were on a road trip.
I'm not giving out anybody's name on these boards, but he did provide the band's names that he played bass for.
He's a long time poster on these boards, and has shared his band's info in the past.
A quick internet search should be easy enough with that info.
