I've been playing bass and guitar for quite some time now but I realize I can't name one bass player or guitarist by name while knowing their work. Who inspires you, who do you look up to?
Tons. Tom Araya, Twiggy Ramirez, Nikki Sixx, David Ellefson, Jason Newsted, Fieldy, Jared Followill, whoever INXS's bassist is, Kid Rock, and tons of others
But I do admire a variety of bass players for their different styles: Geddy Lee, Sting, Steve Harris, Victor Wooten, John Paul Jones, way too many to list off.
