favorite bass player huh?

I think Bootsy Collins should be everyones 1st favorite bass player and then joe meyer a close second

Dude, Bootzy ain't got nuthin' on tha Meyer.

Except for maybe his own signature bass, signature wah pedal.....

I'm still waiting on my signature Warwick "Ninja" bass. It'll look and sound killer, and throw sherukins at people.

I made a compromise. NOW I am everyone's favorite TWO bass players in one !!

You can see where I'm goin' with this - my fantastic looks coupled with Bootsie's outrageous outfits and incredibly funky fingers make one freakishly awesome team !!

Alright you guys wanna talk about greatest bass players of all time, you gotta go further back to the time of Jaco Pastorius. This guy pwned 'em all. He is a legend He's one of my favorite players - Hey !.....he kinda looks awefully familiar....

Guys like Jaco Pastorius,Justin Chancellor, Dirk Lance, JJ Jameson, Flea, Michael Anthony and Tye Zamora are who I've always looked up to for inspiration. They all have unique playing styles that I feel always lent to the overall musicality of a song.

Have you seen a recent picture of me lately ?

I look like a cartoon comic book character who molests children and stabs people in the neck...

Interesting tidbit of info regarding my personal choices about bass players - I was such a huge fan of Dirk Lance, then when he left the band, I actually boycotted the last two albums with Ben Kenney on them.

But I've since changed my position. Someone had "A Crow Left of the Murder" in the bus recently, and I've been listening to it. Ben's pretty good at bass.

yeah...

anyway, i have boycotted the last two albums for the simple reason that they suck. and i don't think ben kenney was the reason. i loved dirk lance too. i have a crow left of the murder, but i just never got into it. i love the line "pink tractor beam into your incision" from whatever that song was. it gets me every time.
