Your favourite bass players revealed... but who is the best ever?
The humble bass guitarist is an under-appreciated beast. Yet try to imagine the last six decades of popular music without James Jamerson, Paul McCartney, John Entwistle, Jaco Pastorious or John Paul Jones, to name but a few.

To celebrate the launch of MusicRadar's dedicated bass channel, we asked you to submit your nominations for the greatest electric bassist of all time via Facebook, Twitter and the comments on our original call-to-arms article.

Once we'd whittled your suggestions down to a top 25, the voting began in earnest. So, without further ado, in reverse order, we present the 25 greatest bassists of all time, as voted for by you.
Interesting reading!!! Enjoy ?
    Interesting but heavily skewed (it is a reader's poll I guess) to the metal spectrum when you get to the top 10..... which is fine if half of those guys were actually as good/influential as there rankings would suggest...
    Nice clips for each player!
      I completely agree with positions 1 & 2 ? Not often something that happens with reader's polls....
