As Sting said once upon a time... "It's not a C until the bassist plays it".

JOHN TAYLOR! He was more than just a pretty boy in Duran Duran. If you go back and listen to most of Duran Duran's stuff and isolate the basslines (Rio, Save a Prayer, Notorious) they would make any Jazz or Funk player proud. That guy deserves WAY more credit than he receives.

Thundercat deserves an honorable mention, at least, as one of the "new" talent blowing it up on bass.
Great video!

John Paul Jones!

From the doom-laden descent of Dazed and Confused, to the beautiful melody of What Is And What Should Never Be, to the epic improvised groove of The Lemon Song and many more. He was dope on bass, and pretty much everything else too.

Cliff Burton!!!! Phenomenally innovative and influential metal bass player

[mpaulson]

I think McCartney gets underestimated when it comes to the bass. Sure, he isn't the fastest but the guy is one of the best bass composers of the Rock genre. All of Revolver is filled with amazing bass lines.

So happy Krist Novoselic got a nod in this video! He’s the reason why I play bass.

Not the most technically gifted player, but the right guy for a band like Nirvana. He’s all about serving the song. Also his tone during Nirvana’s last tour is so underrated. Watch their live and loud performance and listen to the bass. From what I’ve heard, Krist had finally found a tone that he loved and it sounded monstrous. Such a shame he never got to use it more

"Can i have a bass for christmas"

Tina weymouth from talking heads laid down some of the most memorable bass lines from the 70s and 80s. Psycho killer, naive melody, once in a lifetime. Beautiful stuff :)

Stuart Zender from Jamiroquai is super underrated.

[BrainWasherAttendent]

Cliff burton. Steve Harris. Justin chancellor. Joe Lally.

I agree with a lot of comments here about Paul McCartney. Listen properly to some great Beatles records, and you realise that his melodic bass is the glue that stick it all together. Oh, EDWARDS, DONALD DUNN.

[miguelrouco]

Peter Hook is so underrated. He's a beast of the bass

[cardboardbox]

Glad you included John Deacon. He is often underrated.

Cliff Burton
Steve Harris
Tina Weymouth
Kim Deal
Chris Wolstenholm
Bill Wyman
Justin Chancellor

[erikkillmonger]

Larry Graham deserved a special mention and his own section: He LITERALLY changed the sound of the bass and the way it is played. He invented that plucking and thumping style that pretty much defines funk music.

Wilton Felder played the bass part on I Want You Back not Jamerson

[andybaker]

Don’t get butt hurt if your fav bass player isn’t there, I’m like 99% sure this dude respects them as much as anyone in this vid

[brunakis]

"My name is Cliff, I play bass."

[TheAtomicPunk-frdm]

I'm sad he forgot Cliff Burton.
But great video nonetheless.
