My personal favorite, James Jamerson:

 

[Prison Mike]

 

[FunkMiller]

This guy is maybe not everyone's idea of the best bassist of all time, but he was in the best BAND of all time, so he counts here...

BEST. BASS. SOUND. EVER.

 

[QuantumZebra]

Bassist / Drummer Checking in with tunes:

No clue how this guy isn't famous - he is a one man band with a bass -



--

Royal Blood (Bass+Drums+Awesome - and yes he makes the bass sound like a guitar) -



--

Karnivool (one of my favorite bands ever - above Tool - and their amazing rhythm section) -

[Fret Runner]

one of my faves to play (Badly) whenever I feel like dusting off the bass an having a jam. John Taylor is super underrated.

I though op was going to have a picture of a literal Bass in it.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Let’s throw a classical bass trombone into the mix starting at 1:45. This whole album is great.

Gotta get some funky basslines from Flea

 

[YoshiMadness]

Mark Hoppus is a super underrated bassist. I think people assume that because Blink is a pop-punk band, as well as Blink being a laughing stock amongst elitist punks, that he might not have any talent. And to be fair, I'm not a bassist, he might not be technically skilled at all. But who fucking cares when the basslines slap so goddamn much?

I guess you could say that this forum........SLAPS.

Peter Steele is the best bassist of all time.

 

[Schattenjäger]

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Awesome thread OP. Also LMAO @ the thread title

I'll post links to YouTube later, but a few:

Yes - Roundabout
Cream - Crossroads (I know the highlight here is Clapton's guitar, but as usual all 3 of them are on point. Jack Bruce's bass here is )
The Who - The Real Me
The Beatles - Paperback Writer
Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused

And many many more. Bass is awesome.

 

[UncleMeat]

This dude is basically the ultimate youtube wanking bassist but it's pretty incredible:

 

[ArgleBargleFooferah]

I love this bassline

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Oh! Forgot.

Rush is a dorky band, but Geddy Lee is an S-tier bassist. Listen to anything from the album "Moving Pictures" and... yeah. The man is gifted.
