Cliff Burton, The Hendrix Of Bass

[Moonlight_Graham]

Dude plays the bass like a freaking lead guitar. Watch his pick fingers they are sick:

[here is no why]

he was definitley a great bass player.

 

Wooten would be the hendrrix of bass for me though.

Entwhistle of the Who was also a crazy bassist

There is no doubt that Cliff was one of the greatest. But James Jamerson, Geddy Lee, Billy Sheehan, Stu Hamm, Victor Wooten, Michael Anthony, Stefan Lessard, Rudy Szarzo, and a few others all place high on that list.

 

Jamerson is where the bass begins...Wooten and Lessard might be where it ends. Jamerson is the only Bassist I've ever seen, that could carry a rhythm section.
