Steve Harris, no contest.

I also like Rachel Bolan though, great groove... and Nikki Sixx but for his attitude and songwriting not bass playing :)
 
This is another hard one...so many crazy bass players out there. Burton was a legend, Steve is amazing, as is Myung, and theres a few others that hold their own.

Dunno if he's the *best*, but my vote goes to 'other', and although he ain't really metal, I have never heard anyone play the bass like Les Claypool. :)
 
Just a few others you forgot:

Billy Sheehan
Sean Malone (Cynic, gordian knot)
Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, LTE, countless outhers...)
Michael Manring
Steve Digorgio
Stu Hamm

And once again I voted for other: had to pick Tony Levin - he is the ultimate groove man
 
Dammit, he is too....... Nevermind! I dont know if he sucks, you can never hear him :lol:
 
Oh yeah, once the weekend hits, I turn into a party animal, look at this, I was going to go to bed FIFTEEN minutes ago, but NO! Im STILL here! Im hardcore.
