Best bassist?

[~Hilton~]

Inspired by the best guitarist thread, who do you guys think is the best bass player around?


Matt Freeman (Rancid, Operation Ivy, Transplants) is insane IMO.



A youtube search didnt bring much up but listen to this

Also, it'd be cool if you could include a sample video or something with your reply



Edit: Check out the songs White Knuckle Ride, Detriot, Rats In The Hallway, Journey to the end of East Bay, Axiom, and many many more..

Best well known bassists are Flea, Matt Freeman, Tim Commerford but my personal fav is Dirk Lance, i love playing his funky licks.
