Ryan Martinie
Les Claypool
Flea

Thats it :D

[popmusic_sux]

idk his name but this one guy that plays bass for yanni absolutely kicks ass. i watched a video of him and he was incredible. he was doin all kinds of slap,slides and all the normal stuff, but at the end of his solo he did about 30 seconds of right hand tapping. maybe i dont get around much but ive never seen right hand tapping on a bass.

well if ya dont knwo flea is the bass god... the master of bass ... adn the driving force behind the chili peppers

-

[rhcp182]

wow i thought every1 knew who flea is lol guess not :eek:

[FleaBass]

EVERY1 WILL KNOW!!!!

-

[GuitarMonky55]

oo yea thats where i heard the name. i noe that i had heard of flea somewhere and i guess it was in a guitar one mag with john frusciante.

[bassmaniac50]

Flea is very good, but I wouldn't call him, or anybody else, the "master" of bass.
There is, and has been, a whole slew of great bassists in the world, and throughout the history of music.

[FleaBass]

very true but lets face it
IM AM THE BASS MASTER ME ME ME ME
BAWAAHHAHAHAHAHHA (evil laugh)

-

[bassmaniac50]

:D

[Exorcist]

Lemmy Kilmister of "motorhead" (yeah!), Noel Redding of "jimi hendrix experience", Duff McKagan of "guns and roses" (guess they are not what you call "virtuoso" but for me they are cool and because of them i do play bass)

[FleaBass]

Ex man thats all that matters when it comes down to it.. who you like.. nto what other people like.. ROCK ON MAN!!

-

[shotbot]

don't forget the great bass innovator of funk, one of them . . .
and there is a fella named John Flaugher who rips. He's a brooklyn guy, local I guess. sometimes you hear some nobody and think they are the greatest underdog bassist ever.

shotbot

[joyride]

um, yea.

Les Claypool is god.
Jaco Pastorius is second god.
Victor Wooten is third god.
Flea is pretty damn good, but he is no jaco or les claypool.

For all you kids who dont know who jaco or les are, download the songs tommy the cat from primus and portrait of tracy from jaco pastorius.

[FleaBass]

i like jaco but claypool isnt one of my fav's.... i can do with out him

-

[partysloth]

BOOTSY

[Ground Chuk]

The two who influenced me into playing bass;

Geezer Butler and Steve Harris

Chuk

[FleaBass]

geezer is the man

[prymdirective]

Unplug your microphone from your comp,
Take a head phones adapter, for the large end to plug into an adapter with a small end
plug the small end into where the microphone plugs in
Music Match Jukebox will let you record it, (Change the recorder to record from "line in")
You can get MusicMatch from www.freewarefiles.com

Enjoy

-

[rhcp182]

[mu1der]

the bass player from primus kicks ass cause hes not content to be second to the guitar, i think think flea is good and the understanding him and john fruciante have is really good, a top guitar and bass duo

[BassTallica]

-

[mu1der]

[BassTallica]

-

[mu1der]

[BassTallica]

HAHA i wish... were the hell is my record deal.. and why cant i find any guitarist around here who arnt afraid to play... grrr

-

[fretfire]

They are all so humbled by your incredible talent that they feel they could never do justice to play along side of you. The record companies won't give you a contract cuz everybody would only listen to you and all those other bands would be out of jobs.

[BassTallica]

but isnt that what we all want.. is to get rid of these damn nu-metal bands

-

[popmusic_sux]

i like nu-metal better than hair metal

[BassTallica]

duh gaa bah uh waa ba guh huh :confused: :confused:

asddaodifhaohfofo;ifho;i w4hf;jig

-

[fretfire]

The record companies want more bands so they can sell more records. You'd only put out 1 a year where as 10 bands will put out 10 a year. More profit.That's why you are the greatest but don't have a contract.

[BassTallica]

oooooooooo i seee

-

[fretfire]

If you never get a recording contract it will be a testament to your overwhelming talent. Feel better now about not having a contract? :D

[BassTallica]

no i think i rather suck and be rich then to be great and poor

but that might change in a bit

-

[sausage]

hmm....all this time i though flea was their guitarist. hahaha. show's what a guitarist knows :|

[BassTallica]

-

[JackasS sonNY]

Feildy from KoRn, and Ozzy's bass player which played for Metallica.

[BassTallica]

-

[B-Funk420]

if by chance I'm in the jersey area anytime soon I'll let you know. I'd definately be into a jam. No guarentees I'll be making it to the garden state soon though.

[BassTallica]

true.. i see how it is... thigns are rough latly with life and jobs and free time and **** man somedays i just dont want to wake up alive at all :D

-

[B-Funk420]

i hear ya bro... I'm trying to get this new band going, redo my yard, work 50 hours a week and still trying to plan a wedding that'll be in 2 months. No wonder I drink so much, haha.

[BassTallica]

haha get this i drank soo much that i went broek adn i have no alcohol left in my house.. i have been sober for 3 weeks now

-

[B-Funk420]

that sucks... I can't remember the last time I didn't have alcohol in my house. The greens have been absent as of late though.

[JackasS sonNY]

What's up with all you people on drugs and getting drunk everyday? Don't you know it just messes you up? Listen to the kid for once.

[BassTallica]

i dont do drugs.. as for drinking... youll relize as your get older that beer and wiskey was created so we dont kill our women or ourselves :D it keeps us on the strait path..kinda... and lets us understand everythign in life

-

[bassplayer666]

I wont say flea is the best bass player, he has a different style then all others, there really is no best bass player, there are also amazing bass players that nobosy knows about becasue they are nto main stream, when i was at Guitar center i met this really good bass player and wee talked for a long tim, i think he was better than flea and any 1 else i ever met, my list of bass players is this...

Marcus miller
flea(rhcp)
matt freemen(rancid)
the guy from tool
Tim cammerford(rage/audioslave)
paul mcartneyt(beatles)
Les claypool(primus/les claypools frog brigade)
bootsy collins
p-nut(311)
tghe guys from sublime


Anfc this isn't in order, just some names to add to the list, and there are alot more

[B-Funk420]

man, how could I have forgotten P-Nut and Matt Freeman. Both very very good bass players. and Eric Wilson is the bass player from Sublime. I'm pretty sure that's his last name anyway. Now he plays in Long Beach Dub All Stars with Floyd Gaugh (Sublime's drummer).

[bassplayer666]

yeah no1 can forget p-nut, freeman , and eric yeah thats his name i forgot, well i kno htis stuff cuz they really inspired me, i grew up listening to bass rifts which got me into it, my first cd was mirvana when i was in 1st grade and me and my friend alex douris used to like kik ass music then started a band and then i quite cuz i dont play hardcor/emocor i playt funk, funk is the best, i love the flow of it, its so relaxing, and i like skapunk like sublime becasue its just so much fun, I'm only 13 years old and i have very much experience at this age not to be ****y but i think its better to push urself and take it seriously whenur younger becasue it pays off in the end.

[B-Funk420]

that's what I like to hear man... playing the funk at an early age. Keep it up brother !!

[BassTallica]

the bassist from tool is not normal.. hes a gov't experiment.. his spine is teh neck off a 32 fret bass and his viens are round wound nickle... hes crazy

:D

-

[bassplayer666]

I think Tim cammerford from Rage should get some props, i miss that band soo much, i think they were one of the best main streem bands, he should get props for that and to be along side of tom cammerelo, becasue tom(guitar) makes alot of rages rifts tim(bass) has to give them back some dept and what he plays isn;t anythign tom(guitar) plays its so different which gives it dept and to plkay different notes and rythems then the guitarist is kinda hard, most bass players blend in or play almost the same as guitarist tom(bass) does the same but in a better more eficient way

[BassTallica]

did rage have 2 differnt guitarist though out their career?>?

-

[bassplayer666]

I DONBT THINK RAGE DID, I THINK TOM CAMERELLO WAS ALWAYS THERE GUITARIST

[BassTallica]

isnt it tom morello?

-

[bassplayer666]

My bad yeah ur right i was getting them confused, close enough anyways they are a great band!!

[Hannu]

:) Tom Camerello...
BUHAHAHAHA!! AAAAAH!! HAHAHA! :D :D :D :D :D

Yeah man not a lot of people do right hand tapping or at least I don't see a lot of guys doint it. One of my favorite guys is john myung from dream theater. He does tapping stuff and is pretty amazing. I love his style and how fast he goes with his fingers. You should check out dream theater out if you've never heard them.
