Well i dont know toooo much about the instrument...but Geddy Lee is my favourite bassist..hes soo killer.

Favourite Bassist? Me...

And also Martin (Decapitated) Cliff, Jaco

Jaco is cool, i learnt 'the funky chicken' the other day or well...some of it.

My bass is a Telluride, which is similar to a Squire... Anyway, my top ten bassists would be.

1.Flea
2.Tony Levin
3.John Entwhistle
4.Chris Squire
5.Bootsy Collins
6.Les Claypool
7.Paul Mccartney
8.Mike Watt
9.John Wetton
10.John Paul Jones

Im very disapointed to you dont have Geddy Lee on there....he blows the **** out of paul mccartney and john paul jones...

It's preference, I realise that Geddy is better than all the bassists I listed on a technical level (except Levin), but I dunno, there are just several bassists that click with me better than Geddy does.

But if it makes you feel any better.

11. Geddy Lee

I really couldn't do a list of who I consider the most skilled bassists, way too tough to call, but I think that these guys are more skilled than Lee, at least.

Victor Wooten
Stu Hamm
Billy Sheenan
Jaco Pastorius
Michael Manring
Stanley Clark
Tony Levin
Dave LaRue
John Patitucci
Gary Willis

Though Levin aside, I prefer Lee over all of them.

I guess so..i just really love the sound he puts out..the bass has just as much of a lead part in rush as guitar

i have a red esquire.

one of my favorite bassists is flea. he once had blue hair :love:
