Off the top of my head some of my favorite players are p bassmos. James Jamerson, Steve Harris, Michael league, and karl alvarez.
But that's a far cry from "all the best players play p basses". I'm trying not to be aspie here but some notable non-p bassmos: geddy lee, jaco, marcus miller, stanley clarke, flea, victor wooten, les claypool and the list goes on. |
