Cliff Burton was better in my opinion

I think John Paul Jones is also one of the best and Flea

As far as Rock Bassist go.. It's hard for your regular Bass players to out do Billy Sheehan..

 

[Mr. Shadow]

I'll toss in James Dewar, bassist for Robin Trower... who along with Jack Bruce is also among the best vocalists of classic rock and blues.

Hell Ya Shadow.. I like James Dewar way more than Jack Bruce.. James vocal and Bass playing are awesome.. Too bad he's gone..

Gonna throw my love to Tom Peterson bass player for Cheap Trick and Steve Harris for Maiden.

 

[Magic]

Gonna give some lovin' to a female bassist

Tina Weymouth

Shouldn't the consensus be that Les Claypool is like the Hendrix of the bass guitar world?
