Just listening to Geddy playing the Bass is amazing. He is always in step with Neal Peart the drummer. His bass lines are complex and so dynamic.

That is a video of just the bass track from Tom Sawyer. Listen to that and you will see what I mean.
Geddy is the best bass player of all time.
James Jamerson
John Entwistle

He is good at bass in the same way that Joe Satriani is good at guitar.
Technically, they are good, but there is no art to their talent.
Rush is an embarrassment to music. AWFUL.
Whitey board ain't got no soul:
Start here:
James Jamerson
Larry Graham
Louis Johnson
Stanley Clarke
Bootsy Collins
Victor Wooten might have something to say about that.
JACO PASTORIUS!

Yeah Rush is an embarrassment to music just like you're a major contributor to these boards...... not.
Rush Rules, get over it.
Tal Wilkenfeld is the easiest on the eyes.
Geddy Lee wants to be the best bass player of all time, and he will not stop until he reaches his goal.

HHAHAHAHHAHAHA POST OF THE DAY!!!!
John Entwhistle. No one else comes even close. Listen to Quadrophenia then lick my nutsack.
Gets to play with John McLaughlin. Enough said.
I'd submit that Chris Squire is a better bass player than Lee.
Just listen to this:
How has no one mentioned Les Claypool? Someone who is better not only technically and by my subjective opinion artistically.
Rush's first album was pretty rockin'. After Neil Peart joined the band and he started writing music about dungeons and dragons it all went to shit.
Victor Wooten is a tool, listening to his music is more boring than watching kids finish a high school state meet in 18 mins.
Haven't you ever heard of Alexander Hanna of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra? That man can play a MEAN bass!!
Dee Dee Ramone
Nice call. Here's some classic Claypool.
Sting
