The best bassist is Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers! Listen to his solos and you will see why he is THE GREATEST BASS PLAYER OF ALL TIME!
Some other people may think Les Claypool... that's their opinion!
A-2 This is the greatest and hardest question. Some say Jaco pastorious, Some say Larry Graham. Why don't people consider Double bass Players??? There re many great Double Bass players. A double Bass player is also a Bassist. They may be best, because its hard to play that instrument than a freted Electric Bass Guitar
.
While this question is very subjective, there are several bassists who stand out above the rest. As previously mentioned, in the modern rock arena, Flea and Les Claypool. In the jazz world you have players like Jaco, and Charles Mingus, a double bassist. To my ears the most consistently amazing electric bass guitarist the last 40 or so years has been Phil Lesh. An innovator in both technique and content, he along with Jack Cassady, and John Entwhistle paved the way for the bass guitar to fill a more melodic role within the music, as opposed to the more rote time keeper. Phil's contribution to the sound of Rock Music, and specifically the role which the electric bass plays within that music, can not, in my opinion, be overstated.
"Best" is a subjective term and there are many great black bass players.
Bootsy Collins would be up with the best.
