Posted November 27, 2005 Ok, basically I'm in a little bit of a crappy/sticky situation. I'm doing a secret Santa and I'm going to make a book entitled "The Big Book of Hot Bassists" Now... the problem is, I know nothing about bands. I know she likes the following bands: Funeral for a Friend Offspring The band that does the "I'm not ok song" Iron Maiden? Possibly... Ok, I have no idea. I'll update the list when I do some snooping to see who her fav bands are. If anyone knows any bands similar to that great list please say so, and if you have any idea what their bassist is called, please tell me, I'd really appericiate it. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 27, 2005 If you want a really, really good bassist then look to jazz bands. The best bassist in the world is Jaco Pastorious.
