Why would a bass player need a poll? A Stick, perhaps--but not a poll.

jamesg1213 Danny Thompson.
That's a bass???

No, but I'm not a bass player so I can't answer the OP anyway. In fact I don't think I've ever owned a bass. I just think Danny Thompson is a very gifted bass player, which is why I mentioned him.

Mooch4056 I would chose Juan. He's capable of learning anything.
Unless it's too hard.
But I'd still choose Juan.

You could say Juan Dunn for his work on Respect. I don't think Juan knows that song. 
I no know which Juan?

It don't bother me...flame Juan McCartney. I thought at first Bapu was asking what model bass.... if that's the case, the Juan to the left in the avatar.
I like that Juan

Hi, Don Schiff -- LA session guy that has been a part of Lana Lane and the Rocket Scientists. Massively good Stick player. Did not make the "trio" of stik folks because he is not famous like the other one or two of those guys. For a few shots of him playing the Stick. http://www.pedrosena.com/photos.htm Lothar Meid -- Will never get any credit in America, because it ain't top ten, and the band Amon Duul 2 is too anarchistic to give a cahoot about your opinion, or mine. Outstanding stuff in the albums "Yeti", "Dance of the Lemmings", "Wolf City" (one of the prettiest transitions ever) and then "Vive La Trance". Strange question. (Juan) David Darling is very good, and it was his bass playing that made Carlos Nakai sound better. His album with Terje Rypdal is magnificent, but folks here only like virtuosity in rock'n'$hit'roll music. His solo albums are very good. (Juan) Dave Pegg is the guy that made Richard Thompson sound good by himself. Look up the live versions of "Calvary Cross" and "Night Comes In" from "Live (More or less)", and then any of his work with Fairport Convention, for a player that can do anything, everything, and still sound VERY GOOD. (Juan) Bapu, the BAPU. Fine bass player when he has the time to work on it, though his main interest seems to be in composing, arranging and mixing and mastering, and his bass playing suffers as a secondary/replacement instrument because of it. Sti,, a fine bass player! (Juan) Helmut Hattler. Won't get a lot of credit but he was instrumental and helping "krautrock" come alive, and keeping guitarists alive in some of the best free form rock'n'roll ever done. Guru Guru first 3 or 4 albums are second to none, and even Ax Gernrich makes Jimi Hendrix sound very limited, because a bass player under him never dropped him! Nowadays with Kraan, and a whole bunch of Bass Player things all over Europe and the East where he is revered. Around here, not one cares. (Juan) Bootsie Collins. 'Nuff said! (Juan) Stanley Clark. 'Nuff said! The late (Juan) John Glascock. The late (Juan) John Entwistle. (Juan) John Paul Jones. In what still was one of the very best live bands ever. Take nothing away from the rest ... too many different music's to go around on this subject, but most folks will simply talk about their favorites, not quite the musicianship involved in many of these. And folks like Ryuichi Sakamoto helped make that electronic bass thing famous in "Yellow Magic Orchestra" and then on his own in albums like "Neo Geo", Beauty" and "Heartbeat" all of which also had a bass guitar playing against it. For bass over bass over bass, with bass playing lead and soloing, you can always enjoy Holger Czukay's "Movies" and "On The Way To The Peak Of The Normal". Both of these albums are fun, nuts and totally silly and not something that anyone here would actually enjoy making an honest evaluation of all that bass work!

craigb Juan string?
 Juan bass pole poll?
I like this one! Of all the famous bass players we mentioned, only one would EVER TOUCH ONE OF THESE, and have fun with it, and ... ohh wait ... one of them has done it. Helmut Hattler, has been known to do some silly things, and one time a few years back he gave a lecture on how to play these things, right in the middle of their famous LSD March song. (Guru Guru). You move the foot to get the string to dampen so the metal moves less. The closer to the string, the more the string vibrates. You move your hand up and down, to get some different notes, but you gotta be careful not to go too far down and too tight, because you will lose a finger or two in the process before the night is over. Oh, one more thing. Sadly, the CHB will NEVER EVER use a bass player that weird and strange. They are much more attuned to a cowbell, than they are a string, anyway! Ohhh, and you have to have a beard, or you won't be famous in California. It's the new fad!
