This should be called top 10 best bass clickers..i didnt hear any low end groovy bass ar all.

Fabulous list… in fact, you could easily have reversed the order and still be right!!! However, there are some omissions: 1. Ralphe Armstrong Amazing bass player with John McLaughlin and Jean Luc Ponty, every bit as good as as any of these other amazing players. 2. Jonas Hellborg 3. Neil Jason Formerly of the Brecker Bros and a session player for decades, a fabulous soloist going back decades. above. 4. Maybe just maybe Alphonso Johnson, though he may be great but more along the lines of Marcus Miller who’s good but not quite top 25. PS. There are three wonderful bass players who have NO business being on this distinguished list despite being quite excellent… -Tal Wilenfeld is decent but NOWHERE near even top 75 (and yea I’ve seen her live just 5 feet away from me and NOTHING impressive by any stretch), come on, Steve Bailey runs circles around her! -And of course Mohini Dey, though she’s quite excellent and decidedly and dramatically better than Wilkenfeld, not quite worthy of a top 50 even. -And yes, we love him but he’s NOT quite top 50 cuz his main (and over used and abused) trick is slapping, and that would be Marcus Miller… I really like Miller as I do Geddy Lee and Les Claypool, but clearly they’re NOT top 50 worthy by any stretch despite my personal love for them as players. These three bass players can’t even touch the 3 omissions from above.

Wow! Thank you for reminding me and introducing me to some amazing bass players.

You bet you missed somebody: Percy Jones!!!

NEVER RATE AGAIN 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️ (nice green screen)

Abraham at 20.... that's pretty amazing. You should have just called it a selection of and not list them

No Bernard Edwards. Lame.

Just started here! He would be my number one! Just calling it like I see it! Greg

Let me name my favorite 25 bassists - about 20 of which - nobody ever heard of or cares about.

wheres buckethead he plays bass

254 comments...

Always gonna be a subjective minefield, but I guess 253 comments is the result. Yeah, half these players are just playing musak. I'm all for virtuosity and technique but surely somewhere there has to be melody and innovation too. That would be Palladino, Sting, Jack Bruce, Simon Gallup...But for the whole package, I find it difficult to look beyond Charles Berthoud, who seems to have it all...and then some. Although interesting to see a couple of players I'd never heard before...interesting though not particularly memorable.

Añadiría a ese excelente listado Jack Bruce de Cream, Stuart Zender de Jamiroquai, Steve Swallow que acompaña regularmente a John Scofield y Nathan East que es fiel escudero de Eric Clapton. Son 4 bestias del bajo.

Level 42's Mark King missing?

The presence of a 6 string bass on screen is a bit of a warning as to what's to come...

It's a dang physical instrument. Those people all look muscular and fit, even more than most drummers. For this type of player, I like George Anderson Junior, from Shakatak. I know this isn't a list of rock stars, but Boz Burrell from Bad Company and King Crimson is one I'd mention. He learned bass in his 20s in King Crimson, and went on to become industry-standard, excelling on fretless bass.

Jonas HELBORG? *Gene SIMMONS* ? You're not Serious, only your Favorit's but none Good or 'Great'! Wasted my Time 😮

Also the list would have to include Paul McCartney. He wrote the book on pop and rock bass lines along with people like Jack Bruce.

All great players but as others have mentioned they are all Jazz fusion or funk groove players chosen for soloing abilities. What is the number one thing that makes a bass player great - great bass lines. It’s odd to have a list of great bass players none of which are chosen for actually playing great bass lines. Jameson, Skylar have been mentioned in comments, and Geddy Lee. In the rock world you also need Chris Squire, Entwhistle and John Paul Jones and Flea. I like all your choices. Their awesome. But no value seems to have been placed on bass players who made great songs sound great

If you didn't put Victor Lemonte Wooten at # 1 I was gonna smash the monitor with the hammer.

The two guys that changed bass forever is Jamerson and Graham. Every bassist after them is a copy of them to some extent. Afterward, Jaco P. Without those three at the top, there IS no list.

wow no rock bass players. Weird jazz list. Sklar,Stu Hamm, EntwhistleJack Bruce, Duck Dunn, Carol Kaye etc. I do not get it

Just bologna!!! Why bother when you omit the legendary players??

Percy Jones

No Paul McCartney? No Chris Brubeck?

Percy Jones, Pilichowski, Jimmy Johnson

Nico Assumpcao!!!

You are entitled to your opinion, but this kind of musical "mast***ation" just means they play fast. Bass is about groove and foundation .... not just chops. Geddy Lee, Chris Squire, Les Claypool, Paul Turner, John Enthwisle and Tony Levin all deserve to be on this list

John Meyung, Larry Graham, Flea

Victor Wooten is a great musician and should be in the top 3 to 5, but nowhere near Jaco. Sorry.

No Groover’s, No Funker’s 🤔 no Jamerson, Chuck, Bootsy, just a list of soloists!

Nice Jazz list - bassists can soar when masturbating to unstructured music, but I prefer my bassists to follow a groove, like Jamerson, Kaye, Entwistle, and Squire.

Marcus is my number 1 with Mark King a close second based on there output, song writing & technique.

Oh PA-LEEEZE!!! Slap, pluck, dweedle dweedle...jazz snobbery alert!!! MIA and you should be ashamed James Jameson Francis Rocco Prestia Paul McCartney Chris Squier Carole Kaye Bob Babbitt And Pino only gets HM???

The Top 25 bass players who can play lots of notes really fast over jazz.

I can appreciate that this list represents “your” greatest 25 bass players. I agree with you about many that are on my favorite list and there were several I was unaware of. Thank you. I played with Gerald Veasley in my youth and find it odd that you missed my other friend Brian Bromberg (no disrespect to my friend Gerald). I invite you to check him out. ua-cam.com/video/0WQzl4_gLXo/v-deo.htmlsi=T-SmGPKsdZfAVtRb

So, these are ask virtuosi and not necessarily ..... or maybe it's just all the 32nd note samples 🤣

I know this is your list of greatest bass players, about I respect your list. But I would rather hear simple bass players like John intwistle, John Taylor, Billy Sheehan and so on. No disrespect, but can't get into the jazz or prog stuff. Les Claypool is about as weird as I get.

John Entwhistle John Paul Jones Paul McCartney Bernard Edwards Thomas T Bone Wolk. I stopped watching after several bassists were listed. These are jazz fusion bassists. How about some rock bassists like I listed?

Henrik Linder Dirty Loops

Seems all those you picked are of the same ilk. How about all the bass players who actually created bass lines to enhance the songs their bands wrote. Chris Squire-YES , Geddy Lee- RUSH , John Myung - Dream Theater, John Paul Jones-LZ, Paul McCartney. I found the clips to be incredibly boring- bass guitar solos are useless- technically amazing but without music to what end.

Good list.

Tony "TNT" Jones

Jaco No 1, Tal number 2, Bona, MMiller, Hasslip, Stanley C, etc.... and me :)

You’re missing Geddy Lee - or is this just jazz players? Your title is misleading -

Mostly I agree with your list.

I loved this video right up til you had Jaco at no 2. Jaco is and will always be *NUMBER ONE* if there were no Jaco there were no any of these other player. Not having Jaco at *NUMBER ONE* is a dislike. However having Mark King as a honorable mention gets a like, buuut then ehhh Henrik Linder is *NOT* Dutch don't know where you got that idea. He's Swedish. I know i hate swedish too. But he Swedish not dutch so again a dislike. That makes it 2 dislikes 1 like = dislike....sorry But i will say i agree with your list from 25 - 2 and then you lose me

No Giani Serrino

How about a top 25 bass player's who don't have to solo for most of the song.😆

This is a favorites list. It's not a good overview of who has expanded the vocabulary of the instrument. Ranking players is an arbitrary act that at best attempts to stitch quantifiable criteria on to one's opinion. Bass playing isn't weightlifting or a track and field discipline that can be objectively be measured with a tape, a scale or a stopwatch. Many of the players listed here have great dexterity and can play fast, but sound pretty similar to each other. Michael Manring is one of the least derivative players on this list. He can easily be identified in a few seconds. A list that included players like Percy Jones, John Entwistle, Bill Laswell, Chris Squire or Eberhard Weber would have greater instructional value.
