Geddy Lee is the coolest bassist ever. Anyway, I totally despise slapping and all those "funky" players.

Steve Harris. his contributions to the metal world are matched by none.

SteveDiGiorno is great as well.

Well not offending anyone here, hopefully, but I have always liked the bassit from Rage Against the Machine, I think he was quite talented.

As a bassit myself, I speak from experience.


I have always looooooooved Opeths Johan DeFaralla, soooo good!!!

Sean Malone (Cynic, Aghora, Gordian Knot, Cortland and more)

Well he played in cynic and that should be reason enough, he is absolutely amazing with the ability to play everything from Death Metal too pure 2 min long ultra fast jazz solos he ripps anyone I have ever heard and he is like Jaco but faster and with the ability to write better music too! Sean Malone is god!

I am a bass player as well (6 years) and the guy from Rage is nothing special at all! IMHO....
