The 'coolest' bass player

Had this discussion over a few beers down the pub, they both have respect for each other.....but who 'cuts it' Who's the coolest onstage, stance etc.

its RAVEN from Killing ~Joke

No Jim Reilly Jim Reilly?

I know there's been a discussion on where polls should be posted, well this one is definitely in the wrong place.

Hello Mr Jarvis, how are you doing? Just popping in. Glad to see that JJ got a mention in here, he certainly gets my vote, and I seem to remember Hooky saying likewise a few years ago.

Kim Deal is up there too for me (in more ways than one).

Cheers David

Simenon

Sorry people, but i agree with JT, Simmo out The Clash was the coolest Bassist ever

peter hook all the way.

There are some other really good bass players you should add.

How about that guy from Free who wore his bass higher than Bernard slings his guitar?

The one i would definetely add, is Mani (ex Stone Roses) from Primal Scream

Don't forget Spaceman out of The Machine Gun Feedback - he was soooooooo cool!

I'm also guessing JJB might've won this, had the question been posted on a Stranglers forum?

Wild guess, Al, right ;)

Hooky, and Flea from the chili peppers

Simon Raymonde from the COCTEAU's

Well JJ was the hardest, no questions there!

best for me. Hooky, Flea and for Some Reason, Mike Mills out of REM.

Excellent.A Cocteaus fan!! Yeah the bass on "Rococo" is amazing,but I've got to thank Hooky for inspiring me to pick up a bass guitar.And he's one of the few bassists you can recognise as a signature bass.

les claypool. certainly the strangest.

Are you kidding ?

Eh?

with a cherry on top?

Sid Vicious without question.

Indeed, there are quite some Giants Bassist, but no one like dear old PETER, period !

I think Peter Hook won!!!!! He is also a good DJ.
