it's crazy that someone can be a fan of a band that they themselves surely imspired, or paved a way for at least.Originally Posted by j2k4
Nice trio; Geddy is a master (and my favorite) and Wooten is fantastic, though sadly underappreciated.
I've heard some Dream Theater...BTW-Geddy's a fan of theirs, apparently.

That thread of appreciation runs through everything Rush does, I find; predecessors as well as successors.it's crazy that someone can be a fan of a band that they themselves surely imspired, or paved a way for at least.
Dean Peer is another great bassist.

Why?
He's simply your choice.
You might prompt others to review his work a bit more closely, at any rate.
I'm not a large Nirvana fan, but I've got several cuts in my library; I'll be paying more attention next time I listen.

I agree on Wooten, have to add some personal fav's to that: Flea, Ryan from Mudvayne and Paul Randolph.
Cry me a future where the revelations run amok
With regard to Electric bass without any question
Jaco Pastorius
He started it all...
As far as Acoustic bass
Scott La Faro
Paul Chambers
Charles Mingus
Phil Lynott.
Electric I will second others who have mentioned Victor Wooten. I saw him with the Flecktones a few years ago and he did things that I didn't think were possible on ANY stringed instrument, let alone a bass. Positively mesmerizing. Flecktones tickets have gotten pretty expensive, but it may be worth it just for VW.
Acoustic (being a big bluegrass fan) I have to mention Edgar Meyer and Mark Schatz -- part of that first tier of the genre's instrumentalists, along with Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, etc.
