[@jamiepastman5594]

Jaco is mandatory for any jazz fusion bass player list

[@SamIAm-kz4hg]

Yes. If it's got more than two names on it, one should be Jaco. Otherwise you just don't know your stuff.

[@chunguspo9414]

hell yeah

[@anthonydonofrio3266]

You gotta put Gary Willis close to the top of the list.. he’s been one of the most amazing jazz bass players since early 80’s. He’s still shaking trees with his grooves and solo’s.

[@alecmejia1960]

anthony donofrio I definitely agree!!

[@fabriziovincitorio9377]

Agree...Willis got a great technique but, most of all, his harmonic concepts are many miles away from 90% of the others!!!

[@rokrok60]

Clarke playing “School Days”.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@alecmejia1960]

Hadrien Feraud is a player worth putting in the list mate!

[@St3ph4n3]

Yeah! Hadrien is incredible. Patitucci, Di Piazza, Caron, Hellborg, Bromberg, Willis, Lindberg the beast... Etc.

[@samuelnerick]

Where is Jaco, Jeff Berling, John Patitucci???

[@Coastal_Cruzer]

Could've at least used Sakurai's live bass solo from 1985

[@chunguspo9414]

Victor Wooten so amazing. and his playing style is relaxed and he play everything with ease

[@thy3452]

Jaco - Ambush -

[@SA-np5yy]

Glad Steve Beiley got some love

[@daviddonald9738]

Anthony Jackson. Alex Blake, and Jeff Berlin….

[@Learnerofthings]

John Patitucci seems to be missing from this list.

[@arvindale]

No Alain Caron or Brian Bromberg?

[@Spritsailor]

Do you see the contortion that Victor has with his left hand? It has caused him to have reinvent the way he plays the bass and he had to quit for a few years due to the carpel tunnel problem his style caused. It's why old time bassists always hung their bass down low and reached for it with their left hand straight out instead of bent....it's more comfortable and you can play decade after decade with no damage.

[@raphaelcote3577]

Great list! But it needed at Least Alain Caron and Gary Willis! 2 Phonomenal Players! :)

[@raphaelcote3577]

@Philip Arterberry Wtf

[@arciecuevas5017]

Alain Caron..

[@jeremyphilander8833]

My grandma, miss daisy needs to be on the list mate

[@spacycountry]

where is percy jones?

[@hodaridaniels8786]

Nice list of bass players.

[@francescofalchi5269]

Missing Percy Jones

[@cab88888]

Man it's tough to see #numbers next to those names... Especially in that order! To me it's pretty clear that musically, Bona is well above all the other dudes in your list... And if Jaco is out some some reason (???), how about his son Felix Pastorius, or indeed Alain Caron... Hadrien Ferraud or even sicker within that style : Linley Marthe... All these amazing bassists from Cameroun living in France like Etienne Mbappe, Michel Alibo, and Bona... Or how about Henrik Linder?... Or how about showing us some that are less known but who are worthy of becoming more famous! There are soooo many... This "Top 7" is definitely missing a few hundreds of amazing fusion bassists!

[@leedodson3136]

Yes, Alain Caron. But I don’t think he said the best 7 fusion bass players. Just 7 fusion bass players!

[@cab88888]

@@leedodson3136 yeah... but Linley Marthe.

[@leedodson3136]

@@cab88888 No doubt, there are so many!

[@Hndsmstrngr1]

Mohini Dey is pretty amazing

[@connorarmstrong1308]

its all a matter of taste, i love tetsuos playing but i agree the list is missing alot

[@chacouver8633]

Bunny Brunel?

[@dwalmz]

Good list but you're missing a LOT of cats. Scott Ambush for one.

[@MrQuaazga]

Glinka?

[@acousticexplorer108]

Which snarky puppy track is that?

[@uraharamitchell7250]

WTF did Wooten do at 1:05? Wait...what?...

[@jjar2561]

skuli sverisson

[@supersam1914]

I guess you have to be alive to be on the list

[@stkesq48]

The majority of this was fret buzz and clanging and banging strings,hand tricks, every one of these guys are perfectly capable of playing Great stuff but they just beat the damn fretboard to death

[@kalelvigil1510]

Thanks man

[@realobama1100]

I only hear very slight fret buzz which actually sounds nice and is practically unavoidable when playing that quick
