You voted for the Bassist Of 2020... and the results are in.
-
This year’s Best Bassist Of 2020 poll was launched at Music Radar back in November, and the results are a clear indicator of the all-round coolness of the bass community, with musicians from the metal, disco, and solo worlds storming into the top three.
Our outright winner this year is John Campbell of Lamb Of God, whose speed picking metal mayhem has had jaws dropping all through this year. This recognition is truly deserved, we reckon—so congratulations from all of us at Bass Player to John.
