They have been diluted, or ignored on the worlds top ten guitarist thread, so they theed their own thread. I'll post mine later (again based on how much pleasure they have afforded me).

(What's the betting Crodo posts Brighton's Gary Windo (RIP)? Bass guitar Crodo, not bass clarifarkinnet :lolol:)

Loved Lemmy though, listen to Orgone Accumulator on Hawkwind Space Ritual Album to hear a Bass being played as a rhythm guitar, astonishing...

OK, here's mine:

Roger David Glover (the man behind the best of Deep Purple)
Bernard Edwards (Nile Roger’s side kick across the disco universe)
Marcus Bell (of my beloved ‘Opposition’, RIP)
Volkan Caner (She Past Away – the first of only 4 on my main list I’ve actually seen live)
Richard Quentin Laird (Mahavishnu Orchestra’s Irishman)
Peter Hook (Joy Division and New Order)
Richard Stephen Sinclair (perhaps my favourite, Caravan and Hatfield and the North)
Colin Hodgkinson (Back door’s virtuoso in the 70s)
Terence Michael Joseph Butler (the geezer who invented heavy metal)
Robert Shakespeare (part of the unsurpassable riddim section of Sly and Robbie)

Honourable mentions for John Entwistle, Sting, Martin Glover and Paul Raven

You can tell most people's ages by their choices! Or at least the eras of music they're most influenced by

There are loads of really good bass players, not a bad one mentioned, even Sting qualifies , just.

JPJ and C Squire are glaring ommissions from my list, love them both.

John Deacon ain't bad either, and a huge one, singer too . . .Phil Lynott

Not a metal head at all but Steve Harris of Iron Maiden should get a mention for inventing and then mercilessly exploiting the running bass line (as opposed to entwistles thrumming or lemmys strumming)

Bootsy Collins has to be the greatest though.
