"Hey everybody I'm Brick Piano."

You asked Guess who? Band, player and song. It’s at 10K comments and a year later but it’s Boston, “Gonna Hitch a Ride” and it was actually played by Tom Scholz for the recording and Fran Sheehan live. Love this channel Rick!

[arthurcaminha]

Pink Floyd - One of These Days
Grand Funk Railroad - People Let's Stop the War

I’ll concede that the topic is bass ‘tone’, but…Steve Harris of Iron Maiden is so routinely playing his bass like it’s the rhythm guitar that you sometimes don’t realize just how fast and agile his bass playing is. And he practically invented the ‘gallup’ cadence. He’s not content to just play the anchor note and let the rhythm guitar do all the work, he is the one driving the bus. Maybe the underrated musician in all of rock.

[Elpeliculero]

What!? no Lemmy he based a whole career out of that bass sound.

Chris squire is my absolute favorite bass player, and my favorite bass tone

[molksboy]

Mark Sandman - "Cure for Pain"
Tim Commerford - "Like a Stone"
Krist Novoselic - "Lounge Act"
Gary Mounfield - "I wanna be adored"

[johnforde]

I love JPJ's bass line on Ramble On. It's totally my favorite!

[sgtpepper]

Chris squire and Geddy Lee. Absolute monsters of raw tone. Chris' fret buzz makes his loud sustained hits sound MASSIVE. Geddy... I mean have you heard him play?

[gallaghim]

I'd like to honourably mention Iron Maiden's Steve Harris. Really unique style and sound that comes from it.

[asiweis]

Les Claypool from "Jerry was a race car driver" of Primus.
Les should be in on every bass player's list.

[santellavision]

I just have to add... Jack Bruce. A master.

[danwentz]

John Entwistle owns everything on this list with "The Real Me" from Quadrophenia

[randyfurness]

Geddy Lee is my favorite. All of these musicians are so good, it's impossible to really rank them . But Geddy Lee inspired me to take up the bass, as he could use it as a lead or anything else, IMO .

Little rockstar story of my own. I was in 6th grade and Alice In Chains was in town for Lollapalooza. Charlestown WV. My friend called me and told me Layne Staley was at the mall. My friends and I went and saw him headed into a restaurant. Being the star struck kids we were, we went in and sat at the table across from him. He was laughing at us, because he knew what we were doing. He threw up the devil horns to us and I’ll never forget it.

[alexeshadow]

Fascination Street, The Cure? That bass sound makes the track, and simon's aggressive picking makes this tone to die for

[brazzledazzle_]

Geezer Butler's sound from N.I.B. on Black Sabbath's self-titled is monster

[matthewdalessandro]

Jerry was a race car driver
And he drove so goddamn fast
He never did win no checkered flag
But he never did come in last

[TheCarelessAquarius]

Faith no more’s bass player is a beast. He is massively underrated.

[melwynz]

The bassline of Another one bites the dust by John Deacon also deserves special mention
