While we tried our best to be objective, list creation is a painstaking task that always is influenced by personal taste. This fact proved especially true when we at I Never Knew Tv tasked ourselves with compiling a complete record of the best bass players to pluck strings. When choosing who to include, we used the following criteria: does the average reggae fan know their bass lines, their influence on Jamaican music, and their body of studio work? The result consists of bassists who have made famous bass lines and classic songs during the ska, rocksteady, reggae, and dancehall eras of Jamaican music.
