He was god.
pointless question. Gene Simmons has trademarked himself as the greatest bassist.
I thought we'd previously ascertained that Gene Simmons was a talentless, hoof-wanking bunglecunt? Or was that someone else?
I had the pleasure of working on a Caravan gig promoted by a friend (at THe Fridge in Brixton if memory serves) - me and my bass-playing mate were doing the catering of all things (Richard was eating a macrobiotic diet which necessitated some research!). While we were feeding and watering the band my mate got talking to Richard Sinclair about Winter Wine and a particular bass run that he couldn't get his head and fingers round. No bass to hand but Richard was happy to talk him through it.
But, what sticks in the memory is later during the gig - my mate and I were stood at the side of the stage and, when it got to that point in Winter Wine, Richard wandered over to where we were and proceeded to show my mate exactly what and where on the neck he was playing. Made my mate's night!
Lovely bloke and a great all round musician as well as bassist.
Although thinking about it, exclusively by him.
You still seem to be confusing "greatest" and "shittest"
Back to the docs for you..
Not the greatest, and he is basically a Tory cheesemonger now, but an honourable mention for Alex James is definitely warranted.
As to the greatest, I'll probably add my name to the McCartney camp.
I said maybe.....
I still think Macca (also a huge Jamerson fan of course) shades it as the greatest, but everything you say about Jamerson is spot on.
i can't believe that no-one's mentioned John Deacon though...

What I can say are my favourites - Billy Sheehan and Geddy Lee.
A +1 for Colin greenwood - his playing on airbag is a sublime example - and he says it is because he couldn't think of anything to play!
