The Bass player you like most can have a great deal of influence on your playing. That person can be the reason why you started playing bass in the first place. I started playing the bass, because my band didn't have a bass player, but as i explored, there were a lot of these amazing artists who changed the way i look at a Bass, how i play it. They stand as a big reason for why i still play it. We might have a few similar favorites; Victor Wooten, Jaco Pastorius, Larry Graham, Steve Harris, Flea, Paul McCartney, Cliff Burton, Stu Hamm, Billy Sheehan, Bass player of Jamiroquai, etc.. But there are a lot of other bass players that i look up to. They might not be as famous as the others, but they are the masters of their craft and architects of Bass insanity.. Panagiotis Andreou : This greek born Bass master plays with bands like New York Gypsy All Stars, Now vs Now and a lot of other Bands. Steve Zerlin : Or otherwise known as 'Z Man' has harmony embedded in his fingers, yes "Fingers" not "Brain". Dont be fooled when i use the word "harmony". If you see him improvise on Indian Ragas, i swear you'll s#it in your pants. Bill 'The Buddha' Dickens : Just watch a video, you'll know why! Mohini Dey : This girl gives me nightmares and makes me cry like a little girl when i see her playing. She is just too much. She is like 16 or something, but if you see her skills ""HOLY MOTHER OF GOD"". I saw her playing first on MTV Coke Studio with A.R.Rahman, and a big fan since then. She is the singlemost biggest source of practice inspiration for me. Seth Govan : This guy put the bass lines on Guthrie Govan's "Erotic Cakes". He is also Guthrie's brother and that explains a lot. I probably love everything on that record maybe because its one of the three favorite albums of mine, the other two being "Tenacious D" and "The Pick Of Destiny". Michael Manring : One Word "Hyperbass" There are a lot of other bass players that i like and follow, this is just a short list. You can like a bass player for their techniques, attitude, the kind of bass they play, they band they play for and so on. Let us know your favorite and why you like em.!

Hey Sad to see Andy Fraser of Free died on Monday. He created some brilliant, memorable bass riffs. This is my favourite... What's not to love? RIP Andy
