As much as these players deserve their place in the spotlight, it's (personally) pretty damned disconcerting and annoying that any time "best bass" this or "best bass" that is mentioned, they're basically the *_SAME_* tired people that appear on these "lists". As if there are no other bass players worthy of mention or praise. I'd rather listen to lots of other bass players, both that are well known as well as those that aren't that well known or technically proficient but, who just play solid bass lines and riffs on the music they play(ed). I mean, it's 2020 and these lists are essentially the same as they've been since the 70's and 80's. We as bass players get hardly any recognition by other musician groups - why are we doing that in our own community? Isn't it time to break this ancient mold and start celebrating bass players from so many other genres and bands? Just cause someone can play a million notes per second or slap at a million miles an hour, that doesn't mean there aren't those worthy of praise and recognition who can just hold off and play solid, complimentary bass parts without having to be given an award for technical prowess.
@SetFire2TheNightSky4 жыл бұрын
@Budgie Cat Seems like you missed my point. This isn't about my "list(s)". Again, it's about the lists made by those in music media (via various mediums) who project *_THEIR_* lists onto everyone else that is watching/listening to them. Lists that rarely if ever shine the spotlight on anyone new and wind up being boringly predictable and stale. I am not in music media. Therefore; this is not about my "list(s)" since I don't reach a huge audience. Not to mention, it's about our own community getting fed the same thing over & over again, year after year, decade after decade, instead of promoting and recognizing good, solid bass players of all genres, over decades. What's the point of making new videos of "best bass" this or that if it's gonna be the same people that we've seen again and again, time after time in a hundred other videos, countless magazines, documentaries etc. etc.? I hope this clears things up.

Damn! So good, Mr. Sheehan has my vote for just about using every type of bass playing technique, the solo is ridiculous 🤯🤯 in addition to this, I’ve had online conversations with him and he seems to be the most humble, down to earth, lovely blokes there is. Always get replies from him when asking questions, probably very lame a man of such immense talent, but never has he made me feel like I’m not worth his time. Oh, did I mention this solo is ridiculous? How?? Amazing (not taking anything from the others, Stu Hamm and Paul Myong blow my mind also) Great video Scotty, thanks

Billy is and will always be my idol! His speed and versatility is unmatched. I love stu hamm too, both of those blokes more than any other inspired me early on. Cliff is also on a wholenuther level, his tone is incredible!
