Sorry for my first vote...
Chris Squire is naturally for me the best bass player . And then is Ray Sulman, the brillant bassist- violonist-guitarist-flautist-singer-trumpetist ! If you like some other bassists, name them please and check a "default" player in the above list. Thank you. |

I'm still going to vote for Squire, although I think there are several listed here who are better than he is. Namely, McCormick, Jones, and Pastorius.

Chris Squire has been my favorite bass player since I heard my first Yes album.

Last time I said Hugh Hopper...I think I'll stick with him, though I'm incredibly tempted to switch to Richard Sinclair. I might do that too.
Others I enjoy: Philippe Bussonnet, Jannick Top, Bernard Paganotti, Sasaki Hisashi, Kazuyoshi Kimoto, Kengo Sakamoto, and Nasuno Mitsuru. They're all in various Zeuhl/Avant Garde bands. Indeed, the first three are all excellent bassists who played with Magma, and the rest played in various groups with Yoshida Tatsuya. |

Hugh Hopper of these, I think. But I'd like to mention Buster Williams for his acoustic and electric bass work.
And I love the guys SaltyJon mentioned. |

Hugh Hopper.
I've never liked Chris Squire. Ten on the skill level....pretty low on the taste/feel level. Same with Wooten...I mean yeah, he can absolutely destroy physically, but he's like the shredder equivalent of a bassist. It's impressive in a physical movement kind of way, but not musically at all.
