    I'm always a big believer of starting off with the bands first album. So that would be Frizzle Fry. My personal favorite is Brown Album. Really IMO you can't go wrong with any Primus album.
    I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

              Sailing the Seas of Cheese is my personal favorite. Some incredible bass lines as well.

                Lots of good ones named already. Surprised someone named Jaco. I lucked out and got a free copy of a collection of his stuff titled "Punk Jazz" for free as a demo when I worked at a music wholesaling warehouse. Good stuff...

                In the interest of adding a new name to the list, I'll toss John Paul Jones' hat into the ring.

                    I don't know much about the quality of bass players, but how does Roger Waters stack up against the guys mention in this thread?

                      Listen to some of this stuff and judge for yourself.

                                </P>I really don't get what's so great about les. He tries to slap and pop like flea but he's not as fast at doing it and he's not as unique. I'd take flea by far against him. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though.
