Earlier this week 11W member Whoa Nellie provided us with an excellent overview regarding bassist Cliff Burton.

I'm bored as hell at the moment and thought it a good time to canvass members for your favorite bassists. For me and many others Geddy is a given and I'll get that out of the way from the start, but I get that not everyone is a Rush fan.

As a point of interest and conversation starter I will offer Flea. His work with RHCP is well known, but he's also collaborated with a pretty diverse array of musicians over the years, playing multiple instruments. It may not be common knowledge that Flea played bass on Alannis Morisette's first big hit in the mid-90's off of Jagged Little Pill, "You Oughta Know" (Dave Navarro played guitar as well). As a further point of interest, Taylor Hawkins from Foo Fighters was the touring drummer for Ms. Morisette during that period, tho he didnt play drums on the recording. Anyway...Flea, wrecking worlds...
