yea fleas cool pretty good groove ...hah but i think he slaps to much...

He's a funk bassist, slapping is a main part of his technique, though thats not to say he can't do without, Californication has some great melodic bass playing with very little slapping.

Flea isn't very good at all, if we are talking about the top echelon of bass players.

Incorrect.

I've always loved Squire, then again, who doesn't?

Anyway, I had a bass, but I found it too boring and took up guitar, damn I want the bass back:(

Some Yes haters. :mad:

Though to say someones not a good bass player just because of the band they are in would make you really dumb.

yup, Yes are a great band too, Relayer > TFTO

Close To The Edge > Fragile > The Yes Album > Relayer > Tales From Topographic Oceans > Drama > Yessongs > Going For The One > Magnification > Time And A Word > Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe > Yesshows > Yes > 90125 > Keys To Ascension 1 & 2 > 9012Live: The Solos > Tormado > The Ladder > House of Yes: Live from House of Blues > Union > Big Generator > Open Your Eyes > Talk.

I suck at bass, but it's fun :D


I like (for the sole purpose that most of these guys I can try to play some of their stuff and not get confused)
Flea
Mike Drint (Dookie album and earlier)
Matt Freeman


oh and did i add that i totally suck at playing bass? I look at it in more of a guitarist mindset :(

Bassists are failed guitarists.

Seriously they are, I've been playing guitar for over 5 years, I never got that good, one day I just said, "to hell with this, I'm getting a bass".
