You can close the thread now :p

Damnit, I forgot about Sean Malone.

well he might not be the best but he was one of the biggest influences for me to start playing bass. i mean have you ever herd his solo "Anesthesia/ pulling teeth" before? thats some wicked shit right there.

its not that hard

my 2 cents
 

pure insanity. burton was incredibly talented. pulling teeth is a fairly challenging piece to play let alone make up on the spot. i think it ranks up there with zeps lemon song as one of the best rock bass performances ever, the theory and techniques he uses could fill a book. :beer:

i really agree with you on that one.

A few you guys missed:

and so on. I'll explain who everybody is if it turns out to be necessary. And I know that a few of these guys aren't pictured playing basses, but trust me, they're bassists.
