In the light of lemmy's sad passing thought it was apt that the guitarists didn't grab all the spotlight!
Steve Harris - Iron Maiden Geezer Butler - Sabbath Lemmy - Motorhead Geddy Lee - Rush Jason Newsted - Metallica
All great players, lets have your favs, all genres welcome
just no Sid Vicious

Another vote here for the incredible John Entwistle.
My other fave is Bernard Edwards of Chic. Both sadly not with us.

A completely different style from most of those mentioned so far but any list of great players must include Robbie Shakespeare and Bernard Edwards.

Some great shouts here
I had my fears when I started this thread; luddites always say stuff like who gives a fuck about the bass player but REAL music fans know
Geddy Lee - amazing player but I struggle with his vocals, think that's why I never fully took to Rush but yeah he's fucking boss!
John Entwistle - another wizard
Paul Raven - not just a great player but cool as fuck attitude.
Still think Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) is the metal king though
Bruce Foxton - Yeah the guy's class
surprised no one has mentioned Flea?? Ok the Chilli's are so middle of the road now it's sad but he remains a legend.
Pete Trewavas from Marillion is a seriously good player if you like prog rock.
No mentions for the guys from Queen or Zeppelin either?
Tom Araya from Slayer was mentioned - to be honest I cant hear him on any of their albums since 1985. All focused on drums & guitars more.
Shelley Burke from Budgie - another great pick
This is a pretty impressive bass solo..Lemmy would love this
This is so bad its good..or not!but I used to love this band in my wayward youth
Here's a bit of the ox
