Best bassists of all time
This list is rather subjective. It is by no means exhaustive or complete. On the contrary, it will be added to all the time. Musicians cannot be better or worse than each other, it’s not a sport … they are just ALL DIFFERENT. And that’s what’s great! My point is that all the people on the list are not arranged in order of importance, but simply in the order I remembered them.
If your favorite bass player isn’t on the list of the top bass players of all time, then feel free to write about it in the comments or in contacts and I will add the undeservedly forgotten one to the list, and maybe a new article will appear on the site thanks to you. Thanks in advance!
