Rip. I saw Metallica in 1986, about six months before Cliff died. (Yeah, I'm an oldfag. Fuck you.) He was amazing to watch. And probably the best pure musician in the band.
And today, Rob Trujillo is almost as good.
Henry Rollins

Im sad tho. I grew up in Mpls and the middle school I went to used to be the high school he went to.

I'd add Chris Squire and Tony Levin to your excellent list.

Not just bass, but everything else. Guitar, keyboards, drums, he was a master of each.
Lots of people are great on one instrument. Very few are great on all of them.

Nope. Guy sucks. Rap metal sucks. As much as rage wanted to put shit like "no studio tricks" in their liner notes, Tom Morello was still a weak effects abusing bitch that gets lauded for making faggot wigger record scratching sounds on his fretboard, and Tim literally only had one memorable bassline on Killing in the Name. So no. He's not god tier. He's MTV climb up a stage prop tier. But you're probably too young to remember that. Faggot.
>>684188697

>>684187240
Yeah dude, it's a revolutionary new bass tactic that no one else has ever thought of.
Use really low bass gauge strings with tunings that require higher gauge in order to hide mistakes and play it off as "I'm just trying to make my slaps more accented".
It's almost like a middle schooler thought of that.

He made active pickups a common heavy thing for bass I'd say that's pretty unique. Obviously not known for his rare technical, but making a much replicated sound very popular is pretty cool.
