Anyone have a favorite bassist?
>pic related, its based Nick Oliveri
Didn't he shoot up a school?

QOTSA was better with him, but I like his contributions as a vocalist more than a bassist lol
My favorite bassist is pretty standard -John Entwistle

Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath has always been my fave, and he's a great lyricist and cat lover to boot.
Best bassist coming through

I love the sound of bassists who use picks. Also love tasteful basslines. Fancy shit is ite but a great tone and fitting baseline is where its at. Now that I think about, I don't have a favorite.

This. He's an absolute legend.
He might be the best in the world but i really like his way of playing, both in BTBAM and trioscapes

Whoops, i meant He might NOT be the best in the world*

>Nick Oliveri
He did some work with the Dwarves during the "are young and good looking period". Only highlight of his career.

yeah
the first 3 QOTSA are really good
after that they got all waded down with too much stylistic and artsy fartsy shit going on
oliveri brought the energy to that band
supposedly he was an asshole of unbelievable proportions though
robert deleo is a really great bass player too
