Default The best bass player.

Ok me and a few of my friends have a debate going on. We are trying to decide who is the best bass player of all time. Is is Flea(Red Hot Chilli Peppers) or is it Les Claypool (Primus) or Matt freeman(Rancid). All are awesome. I say Flea, but some of my friends say Les Claypool, and some say Matt Freeman. What do you guys think.

This is Les Claypool

No ones got **** on Tom Morello he is just so creative with the sounds he can make with his guitar any decent player can hit a good riff

He is one of the main reasons I love Rage and Audioslave
