duckman Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 1.Percy Jones (Brand X) 2.John Entwistle 3.Chris Squire 4.Jaco Pastorius 5. Stanley Clarke sorry , Jonesy is not in my Top 5 He is an extremely gifted player in the Jamerson School and I love his Lemon Song bassimpro, but the guys above set new milestones. Macca qualifies as well, but somehow I can't dig his sound as much. In the underrated category, however Pakrash John (the bassist on Lou Reed's R'NR Animal) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sagittarius Rising Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 1. Bootsy Collins 2. Les Claypool 3. JPJ 4. Chris Squire 5. Flea Bootsy gets my vote as #1 because he was such an innovator.
