Most bass players are regulated to the back of the stage, thumping out rhythm bass lines that move the music we love forward. However, bassists are oftentimes overlooked. We remember the guitarist, or singer, or sometimes even the drummer, before we actually think about who’s playing the bass. But we owe a lot of what we love about music to bass players. The soul of blues, the thunder of rock, the movement of jazz, would be nowhere without the unsung legends. Question is, who's the best?
