Discuss. Know them all but the guy from Muse. Flea and Geddy Lee would bang the bass in my dream band.

And for grins, the best radio talk show for the bass enthusiast...Bass Talk

The bass player jokes are worth the read.

Where's Guitarman for his two cents?

My vote's for Geddy but Tool's rhythm section gives a whole new meaning to the word tight.

If John Entwistle was alive and was not number 1 , it would be a tragedy. I have some of his solo stuff on vinyl and it is crazy amazing. Check out this video:

and this one:
