John Paul Jones, he was who I idolized when I first started playing. I bought the live led zepplin tape just to watch him play.
badgersbadgerswedontneednostinkinbadgers
If you have not already, check out "Them Crooked Vultures" John Paul Jones lays down some tasty grooves w/ D. Grohl & Josh Hommes.

Geezer Butler.
NeckDeepInAGiraffe
Thank you for that. This comment feed made me cry without Geezer's name on there.
godlessheathen702
Thank you! I thought nobody was going to post the "Geeze". The rest of you should be ashamed of yourselves!
echobass67
Hell yeah! Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, Jaco and Nathan Navarro
IamCommanderShepardAndThisIsMyFavouriteStoreOnTheCitadel
Finally someone mentioned Marcus Miller.
echobass67
Nobody had? Something is wrong if not!
BobsonDugnuttTakenAlready
You know who's underappreciated as a bassist? Paul fucking McCartney. Sure, technically Wooten, Jaco etc are the shit but Paul's lines ftw
badgersbadgerswedontneednostinkinbadgers
Paul McCartney is an amazing bassist! He brought a perfect flair to The Beatles. However, I would not say he's under appreciated.
ProtectorOfDunwyn
As a beatle can, just know that your comment is appreciated.

Hammertulski
Say what? Say what? What's his name, y'all...
thevortexmaster
Les Claypool, Tony Levin of King Crimson, Steve Harris, Joe Lester
JesusHeardMyMeanThought
Don't forget Tony Levin was in Peter Gabriel and Liquid Tension Experiment too.
thevortexmaster
Yup, but King Crimson is one of my favourite bands and he uses the chapman stick a lot with them
User1038
Les is more!
StoneThrowingDevil
Saw Claypool live a week or so ago, completely insane!
schlabbalappen

CamelSpotter
Geddy Lee!
thevortexmaster
He's more of a bassist, keyboard vocalist hahaha
TheFourthLaw
Whooaaa, I don't often see King Crimson mentioned on Imgur. Here's a handful of +1s.
thevortexmaster
Hahahaha thanks
AllMyFactsAreRight
Flea? Justin Chancellor?
thevortexmaster
TOOL is my favourite band I guess I just failed to add him. Fleas awesome as well
TheKarateChimp
Anyone say Jaco Pastorius yet?
RecommentStatistics
How bout Jacob sartorious?
TheKarateChimp
Personally, I like it.
LynchlessMob
He raised the bar, that's for sure. There's a documentary about him. Check it out some time.
DrPeppurr
Before him, bass was just bass. Since him, bass became bass
contrabille
Yeah but mingus though.
Ilikeadoachacha
yes and no. Stanley Clarke was the original Jaco.
DrPeppurr
Huh, I thought Jaco was older? Not sure.
Ilikeadoachacha
He is. However, Stanley Clarke was in Return to Forever in 1972 before Jaco's self-titled debut album in 1974.
