Anyone here listen to Victor Wooten/The Wooten Brothers Band/Bela Fleck and the Flecktones?
One of the best electric bassists I've ever heard.
Other great bassists (bass guitar and upright):
Les Claypool
Jaco Pastorius
Flea
Stu Hamm
Nate Kizerian
Jeremy Jemmott
James Jamerson
Niels Orsted-Pedersen
Paul Chambers
Charlie Haden
Charles Mingus
As you might be able to tell, I play bass.

I love Timmy C, Geddy Lee and Justin Chancellor.
That's pretty much the extent of my appreciation for bassists.

Ooh, forgot Geddy Lee. Bootsy Collins (P-Funk's bassist) is also pretty incredible.

BAHAHA. Obviously you hard never heard Victor Wooten, the master of double-thumbing (using your thumb like a pick instead of slapping down on the strings, he invented the technique). Look for him on youtube.
