"Add a few zeroes and yo umight be closer to fine. Good thing no one here is allergic to hyperbole."

what an absurd statement.


since this has turned into a greatest bassist thread, here's a few that should have been mentioned by now:

entwistle
chris squire
john paul jones
tony levin
george porter jr.
flea

and some legendary session men:
louis johnson
marcus miller
anthony jackson

You have just reinforced my point by listing 9 players who are octaves ahead of Jack...

i suppose we look for different things in a bassist. technical chops isn't all too important for me. i was being a bit generous to mr. casady with my top 5 statement, but i think you also underestimate him a tad. he changed the way people looked at playing bass. his melodic playing just really does it for me.

FWIW, in the late 60s/early 70s, JackC was regarded by many in the Bay Area as one of the truly talented players (any instrument), as was Phil, to emerge. I always thought it was why so much was expected of HTuna, and so much less of JStarship given his move in 72 (though they'd formed HT in 69 or so, I don't think he stopped playing with JA til the very early 70s). Though he did eventually play with Starship, in the mid-70s they really missed him, IMO.

Did you notice how this thread went from tuna to bass? Something fishy going on...

What else would you expect from the King of the Deep?
