Question:

To all bassists, which musician is your inspiration?

mine is Cliff Burton(RIP)

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Roger Waters - not the best technically but he did inspire me. John Entwhistle, Flea and Stuart Hamm are also all great in their own unique ways. And Cliff was such a promising talent before he died so tragically (Metallica never recovered)
