well tbh Rex Brown is a more capable bassist that Fieldy, especially some of the basslines he pulls during Dimebag's solos

Wait, are they in order or not?
I think you did a Bang up job there are a lot of really good bass players on there I'd never have thought of. Flea is probably top 10, modern bass players always seem to defer to him.

Nice list, I'm going check out some of the funk bassists you've got listed in the top 10. John Paul Jones at #17 is too low, though.

Agreed completely, although he never made an effort to stand out. He was more like the roots of the group, keeping eveything on the ground while everyone else was soloing (sometimes simultaneously). Did have some killer lines though. I would have him in my top ten. I'll get around to doing one someday, after this thread fades.

I'd say it's a pretty darn good list and a great addition to the site. Be curious to know which are your personal favorite top five and least favorite that put on the list out of respect.

I am very partial to Jack Bruce myself and prefer both he and Entwhsitle to the pure playing of JP Jones. Jone's greatest contribution was more his understanding of how the different parts worked and fit together.

Was really happy to see the Vanilla Fudge original Tim Bogert too, Jeff Beck said he'd have made a legendary lead guitarist if he'd wanted to be one. Martin Turner was another important one to put on the list I think and was glad to see him included.

Obviously you have to go with the Live album with Berry Oakley but he's outstanding on the follow up "Eat a Peach" where he and the whole band raised their game after the loss of Duane Allman and would ultimately be Oakley's last too.

One omission that I hoped to so but could understand not including is Bruce Palmer the former Buffalo Springfield and occasional CSN(Y) member.

Thanks for putting this together.

I've said it before, but Geddy Lee is the one person that REALLY makes you notice the bass in a song every time.
