About this listen

There have been seemingly countless “Greatest Rock Guitarists” lists assembled over the years - for articles or books. But...what about bassists? In The 100 Greatest Rock Bassists, author/journalist Greg Prato courageously attempts to level the playing field, single-handedly. In addition to counting them down from the bottom to the top, each entry contains info on each player - including background data, standout tracks, similar players, preferred makes/models, etc. And that’s not all! Also featured are 10 all-new interviews for this book, with some of the greatest rock bassists of all time (Billy Sheehan, Les Claypool, John Myung, Mike Watt, Doug Wimbish, Doug Pinnick, David Ellefson, Glenn Hughes, Glen Matlock, and Cris Kirkwood).

So...put down your bass for a bit, listen to this audiobook, and discover just who are the 100 greatest rock bassists.

rock bass players?

I'd read a book by Greg Prado before so I knew it'd be well researched - and being a bass player I was eager to read this to see who'd be in his list of 100. The term "rock" didn't really fit in with many of the players he put in the 100, James Jameson, Jako, Donald Duck Dunn ETC. However I enjoyed the way each player was presented - especially the added info of what bass's they used/wheterh they used a pick or fingers. It's certainly opened my ears to a heap of players I hadn't heard before. Would certainly recommend it to bass players - or anyone with a passing interesting of different musical genres.
