    The correct answer is Ryan Martinie from Mudvayne. Like that band or not, no one can deny his mad musical skill. My second choice has got to be Justin Chancellor from Tool.

    Vic Wooten (check out his work with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones <Bela Fleck is an amazing banjo player>)
    Bootsy Collins (trail blazer, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre sample him almost exclusively)
    Phil Lesh
    Les Claypool (though alot of his work uses effects)
    John Paul Jones

    I'm going to have to go with Sting. As talented as anyone, more than most.

    Paul Gray is up there (partly because most of Slipknot's best stuff ws written by him).
    Also Johnny Christ from A7X.
    The flea is up there to IMO, but my bass player knowledge is fairly limited.

    There is no "best bassist ever" thing. They all are good on their fields


    Personally i love Mark King style

    I don't know if I could pick a "best" bassist. My favorite though would be Geddy Lee.
    Your grasp of the obvious is inspiring.
