This is simple... Best AND Worst Bassist:
Jaco P.
Yep, I said it. Sure he transformed bass playing concepts. Sure, he was "adventurous" enough to rip the frets from his bass before anyone else (as long as you ignore the centuries of upright bass use in symphonies and bands). Those are the qualities that rate him as one of the best.
Getting beaten to death in an alleyway because you threw your life down the neck of a bottle of booze? Well... that's why he's the worst. No free points here for being stupid.
If you knew anything about Jaco...you would know his main problem was mental illness...he was bi polar as they come...many people with mental problems..drink and drug..and he is not the first artist to throw his life away as you say....Pray to God you never have to step into mental health issues shoes and get called stupid....where is your compassion...
If you say that about him...you must think that about every other musician that died from not making the best choices in life.... And there are MANY..

jack and jaco yeah, thats a given, but come on, you're forgetting the men who created the fundamentals of the instrument. charles mingus, thelonius monk? come on guys, these 2 are both responsible for the bassists like jaco, jack and john. one of my personal favorites is mike dirnt. idc what you think about greenday or their music, mike's bass carries that band. and flea x_X id give left hand just to meet him. the worst bassist? me lol.

There is no one alive that can touch Victor Wooten. Bootsy Collins and Marcus Miller may come close, but no cigar. But the greatest of all time? And I'm sure any real bassist will agree... James Jamerson from the Funk Brothers of Motown. He played every tune with ONE FINGER (also affectionately known as 'The Hook'). He's played on more number one hits than Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones COMBINED. End of story.

I agree with the previous guy on the James Jamerson thing, but, all you people have forgotten two guys named Roger...Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) and Roger Glover (Deep Purple). Two of the best! The worst and most successful...Gene Simmons.
