I dislike the band, but I can't deny the guy's talent. My favorite bassist* would be Joe Loeffler from Chevelle.

Favorite Bassists

Sting is a pretty underrated bassist, wouldn't say he was one of the best, but then again i named Krist Novoselic as a honorable mention. :rofl:
Though i would put Sting and Novoselic in the same catagory, 2 bassists who from a technical standpoint were not impressive at all and were average at best, but nonetheless they were very creative and made some great lines, neither are really top 50 though, i only mentioned Novoselic because i know that no one else will, i think people dont cut him enough slack, but yeah, i expect to get a lot of flaming for that, not that i care.

Peter Hook and Kim Deal, they've done some of my favorite baselines.

I love Feildy's Bass playing style but the best bass player of all time is Cliff Burton of Metallica. And if you don't believe me watch the film on him called Cliff em All.

I think a lot of you guys need to listen to RHCP's older stuff (e.g. Freaky Styley, Mother's Milk, Uplift Mofo Party Plan and perhaps BSSM) before even commenting on Flea. Of course many of you have, but I'm sure that many haven't as well.

I wouldn't call that bad bass playing then. If he's not very technically advanced, that's one thing, but I've heard a LOT of very fast, hap-slappy bassists who sound great playing alone but ruin the music when they play in a band.
Selfish or lazy bass playing is bad bass playing. If you're only able to play one note per bar then its ok as long as you make it the right note, at the right point.

Sid Vicious is the poster child for horrible bass playing then.
