[ST1TCH]

How is Les Claypool at 10? Geddy Lee should be #1 and Claypool #2. But then again that's my opinion on it

The game ended with Billy Sheehan

It's just the order in which they were added.

 

Also these lists don't make much sense other than being a game, because there's a ton of good bass players, some are more known, some less, some have less technique but they are still icons and quoted as influences, and/or they composed nice bass lines or they have an unique sound, some can play ultrafast but not interesting bass lines, some can do both, some are underrated or overrated, some use different techniques like slapping, tapping, etc, some don't... there's people who play different genres or are specialized in only one, etc.

 

Same can be said for guitarists
