Oh, for Pete's sake! Just add him and quit moaning!

By the way, what colour did he dye himself? I'm guessing maybe fuschia. That would be pretty tragic.

I've no idea. I just figured if you were going to have a list of bass players, there should be a picture of someone playing a bass.

I'm not sure how you have a top 100 bass player's list without mentioning the most recorded bass player in history Abraham Laboriel. Also glad to see Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten listed, although I think they deserve to be listed higher. I disagree with the person who says that McCartney plays just the one. In my opinion McCartney, while not the most naturally blessed player on the list, is responsible for some of the most creative bass lines in rock history.

If I could give you karma I would. I couldn't agree more about McCartney. Personally, I couldn't care less about how much you shred as a bass player if your bass line doesn't move me.

I'm the one who nominated McCARTNEY a year and a half ago on page 1 of this thread.  I choose this silly song to illustrate because I have always loved the bass line:

Still room for him. Shall we make him number 88? The numbers mean nothing other than they order in which they're posted, by the way. A few people get miffed about where somebody is on the list.

88? Brian Ritchie!

89? Glen Benton (Deicide)
