dang i cant believe davie taught all off these bassists and never mentioned it before. so humble
lmaoo

davie created bass and invented slapping
*Believe it*

Davie: "WatchMojo don't disappoint me"

hes almost everywhere this random anime guy without a mustache...
For one reason Twosetviolin nicknamed that channel "DumbMojo"
Can u stop commenting on every goddamn video i watch

Mick Karn deserves at least an honorable mention here. Another fretless bass player, his contribution to Japan is essential. Pino Paladino is another honorable mention. Both of them worked with Gary Numan, who has had some incredible bassists playing for him.
LOVE Mick Karn! Dali's Car too!
Another Japanese player who is exceptionally great is Toshiya from Dir En Grey
Jaco pastorious is the goat. Not only was he an incredible bassist just skill wise alone, but an incredible all around musician as well. He was an amazing composer. Portrait of Tracy is one of the most beautiful songs to ever be played on a bass. And he composed some of the best songs EVER period. Havona, teen town, Donna Lee and so much more. He is truly an example of how some people are just built different.
Donna Lee is by Charlie parker, not Jaco pastorius, he is still a goat tho
What rubber duck said, Donna lee is a song by charlie parker but for jaco to play it is like a declaration to the music world that he CAN play melody and that bass is more than a glorified rhythm keeper
@@hamham9047 yeah my bad
Davie: Plays "Enter Sandman of Puppets"
All metalica fans: Wait, something is not right...
He also trolled us in the last video where he named the master of puppets riff as enter sandman riff x)
I like that he says that he will play Cliff Burton's bassline, and just plays guitar part of Master of Puppets instead of Burton's version xd
@@Yxzjvc Yeah i remember ;D
Yeah, your spelling of Metallica lolol
"And Puppets For All" when?
No one ever mentions Stanley Clarke. This legend put the bass front and center back in the 70's winning jazz awards into the 2010s.
Amazing melodic player, very influential.
Maurice Gibb 🙄
I was just about to ask: where's Stanley? Victor Wooten #1 but no SC? Remiss.
Awesome! The first thing I did after watching this video was go watch Clarke perform School Days live, then I came back here to see if anybody had mentioned Clarke. True story. 😎
This list is ridiculous
I respect the fact you added Jaco, Graham, Wooten and Miller. 100 percent agree but how could you forget Stanley Clarke and Charnett Moffett.
Or Chuck Rainey
Nick Beggs, was Kajagoogoo in the 80's and his opening riff on Shy, shy is a masterpiece.
🤣🤣🤣 FROO-FROO TUNES terrible band/even worse fans!
He definitely got me on the Cliff Burton thing. I was in shock at the quick rejection. Thank you for clearing that up Davie.
that was f'n highlarious!
Yea... inwas blasting him for it when he said "GOTCHA"!!! The way the guys treated Jason Newsted after 15 years was just dirty! Hetfield's EGO is what gets in the way... (after the "untimely death" of Cliff I no longer really cared much for them. It's as if between "MASTER OF PUPPETS" & their "break-out" multi-platnium "BLACK ALBUM" the whole "feel" ofnthe band changed. They weren't as "gritty/raw/unhinged" as the garage days/Kill Em All/Ride the Lightning/ Master of Puppets. Just ridiculously powerful head-banging/thrashing/mosh-pit stomping music.
Then "Sandman (Kinda bubblegum sound) like they SOLD OUT!
Hahaha ye I was speachless and didn't know what to say
Les Claypool is my favorite, mostly because there is literally no one else who plays like him. He re-invented what the bass could do, just like Geddy Lee, Chris Squire, and Flea.
Les Claypool cites Chris Squire as one of his influences.
Exactly
Your comment is approved.
Jack Bruce and John Entwistle my faves in rock, Stanley Clarke, Ron Carter and the GOAT, Jaco Pastorius in jazz... great video and list.
I agree that Geddy Lee isn't the best bassist of all time. He is, however, an unimaginable talent who is my favorite musician. He doesn't just play bass, keyboard and sing at the same time. He plays incredibly complex and difficult bass parts while singing. The distinction is important. Geddy Lee is strictly a unique God of music as is the entire band called Rush
Geddy and Chris Squire were influenced by, The Bassist Of The Millenium John Entwistle. All three are my favorite. Great players.
Couldn't agree more
Victor Wooten is approved 100%
he even smiles the whole time playing ... because he knows
Just like Eddie
The fact that Mojo's list didn't have Victor Wooten anywhere on their list is an embarrassment.
Or Lemmy? Maybe one of the most iconic musicians of the '80s/ '90s and they just stiffed him
100% agreed
It´s a list of top ten ROCK bassits.
Mojo's list are always shit.
@@dux657 and it's STILL not that good
I agree with your list. I was surprised Pastorius and Wooten didn't make their list.
I found you, and you expanded my musical universe with great bassists! Thank you. One neglected, in my opinion, is Stu Hamm. He’s a favorite of Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.
Victor Wooten gave me a 30 minute bass lesson after a 3.5 hour show, when I was 15 years old. Victor is an incredible bassist. But an even better person
Yin and Yang is one of my all time favorite albums.
“He was the first to play fretless bass.”
Every double bassist in the world:
WUT?!?
That's not what he said
@@fallcones1
You're right.
"He was one of the first bassists to play a fretless bass.”
Every double bassist in the world:
STILL WUT?!?
He left off "electric"
nani?!
haha yeah not much of an achievement when everybody in jazz was already doing that
Mick Karn from Japan and Dali's Car an 80's fretless icon who imbued both bands with such a distinctive sound.
I'm a little sad that nowhere on the list, or in any of the comments that I read through (most of them) was Robert Trujillo (recently with Metallica and previously with Ozzy Osbourne,) but his work with Suicidal Tendencies and especially Infectious Grooves was awe inspiring. I'm not a bassist, so I'm probably not the best judge of bassists, but I thought he deserves at least an honorable mention, if not a spot on the list.
Agreed. He really got to flex in Infectious.
Chris Squire is a criminally underrated bassist! Esp considering how much of an influence he had on Geddy Lee's style!
I love his solo album fish out of water
he best bassist in the world of all time
His bass is amazing on the entire Close To The Edge, Fragile and Relayer albums
I agree, perhaps not the 1st but at least should be in top 10, but Davie does not like pick so .... Criminal
Geddy Lee was practically apologizing when he inducted Yes belatedly into the Hall of Fame. Geddy's tone was totally Chris Squire, although Chris's was a bit better.

@@GoldenFridge64 officially
You forgot 405eivad
Lol
I havent seen such an acurate list before in my hole life
I think Chris Wolstenholme needs to be on this list. He literally drives Muse and his riff ability allows Matt to go and do his thing.
Check out Boh from the Kami Band playing in strange time signatures and driving BM along. Listen to a couple of his solos too as they are next level. 6 stringer and needs them all!!!!!
fr
The original list was scaring me...your list made me realize there's are some good ears out there!!! Thank you bro!!
Every time I see Cliff Burton play, I can't help but just sit there in awe.
Same, he was awesome but imagine how good he would he be if he didint die so young
Cliff RIP - Best Bassist of all time!
Glad he didn't keep on with that pretend Cliff hate for another couple seconds, I was about 2-3 away from down-vote and unsubscribe...
@@jimi1943 right? He was a virtuoso
same, but i do that while seeing alex webster play his bass too, dude's an absolute machine with the fingers
I'm not sure if Cliff ever reached his true potential, his technical improvement between 3 albums is insane. Alas, he never had chance.
Sadly no. I believe that the best of Burton was still to come. Very unfortunate
I agree
It should have been Lars😢
@@covertops540 how can you say that lad, he is the founder of the band. nobody should have died there
He was 24 when he died, of course he didn't. It's the same with Randy Rhoads. If both of them were still alive the music scene would be a lot different and more robust.
I can't find any mention of Mark King? He used to be a drummer, which informs his very percussive style. He was super fast but always kept a great groove and great melody
My two favorite bass players are hardly ever mentioned and it's really sad. James Jamerson who played on 40 Motown too 10 hits. Mike Mills bassist for REM who was the backbone of everything they did. .
Pino Palladino, Abraham Laboriel, Stanley Clarke, Nathan East, Mark King...The list is endless!
You listed the ones that jump into my head first. Stanley Clarke was a pioneer that elevated bass to a feature instrument.
What about Larry Graham? I mean he invented the slap bass technique we all know about
Lee Sklar, Steve Harris, Pino Palladino, Mike Porcaro, Scott Thunes, my list goes on.........oh and Davie504 too lol
John Pattitucci
David Hungate and Jimmy Haslip
Featured: Cliff Burton - plays Claypool's version of that bass line.
Featured: John Paul Jones - plays Robert Trujillo's version of that bass line. 😁
Thank you for correcting that list!
Billy Sheehan does a pretty awesome solo in the song - 'I'm the hell outta here' from G3: Live in Denver (2004). I play guitar so no, I'm not a bass player but this solo from sheehan is one of my favourite parts of the whole concert. You probably have to purchase the whole live concert to see it though. i've searched for the isolated solo segment on YT but with no luck. Pretty sure you can purchase the concert on YT.
"Lets play another cliff burton classic" starts playing master of puppets but Les Claypool style
Exactly. How about playing it the way Cliff did, the way it's intended? 😅
Yeah I was looking for this comment lol
JPJ is a bluesy monster on bass, I'd have swapped him with Entwistle on the WatchMojo list.
Lemon Song, Achilles Last Stand, Dazed and Confused, Good Times Bad Times, Ramble On, way too many songs I could list.
I would have switched him with Burton or Geddy. Entwistle deserves to be around JPJ. JPJ played everything with complete professionalism and technique. For his time he was probably the best non-Motown bassist on the charts.
Never big on the bass guitar but love your channel
Steve Harris is musical genius, his song writing is immaculate with all of the albums hes made. And Cliff Burton is amazing as well, if he wasn't taken away from us so early he would be much higher, I'll miss him, CLIFF EM ALL!
even with how young he was, he is still the best and we all miss him
My Top One: Flea. I listened to him when Red Hot Chili Peppers were warming up to perform at the student center at UCLA , almost thirty years ago. They were well known locally but not superstars yet. All the guys were warming up and tuning on stage and I just walked into the student center. No one was there. I sat down in the middle rows. Flea was playing around and tuning his guitar and then started playing . He played for a good five minutes before the other guys joined in and they just started jamming for fun....to an audience of one. Needless to say, it was a very special experience for me and I appreciate the moment even more today because I don't think anyone else will get to listen to the RHCP play just for them.
I am genuinely jealous but happy for you at the same time haha great story! I am such a big fan of Flea as well since I was 3 yrs old and I am 30 now still listening to the peppers religiously
Awesome
Flea rhcp snow
Man that must be one of the greatest moments in your life. Not a big fan of RHCP but have always said Flea is one of my favorites. Not just his playing but the way he shows his talent while jumping out of the sky hitting the stage, banging his head. The Mthrfkr rocks like no other bassist.
@@thomascacioppo3785 He's the genuine article. Absolutely.
Seems like Chris Squire of Yes deserves at least a mention somewhere.
JoJo approved.
Definitely
Id give him McCartney’s.
Instead of McCartney they could have just picked Alex Webster
@@a_b_a_n_d_o_n_e_d6665 maybe on like a metal bassist list.
Your list is great and you almost added my top 5 bassist. My list includes Stu
Hamm, Cliff Burton, Billy Sheehan, Larry Graham, Geddy Lee, in no specific order.
Glad to see someone else mention Stu Hamm, he'd definitely make top 10 in my opinion.
@@jeremychapman1560 I just found this page, and Stu Hamm was the one I commented on being neglected. He’s always been a favorite of Vai and Satriani.
@@ericpoland7389 for sure man, one of the greats and often overlooked as evidenced here. Check out "Gambale Hamm and Smith" they did two really good fusion albums together, it's good stuff and showcases some of his excellent playing. Not to mention the good company of Frank Gambale and Steve Smith...
You got me with Cliff Burton there I also luv the song you played enter sandman of puppets 🤣
Justin Chancellor for me. The Pot, Schism, Aenima are all great examples and pretty much the whole of the Fear Inoculum album. He's incredible and makes it so musical. He's a fabulous composer.
Not even a mention? Hmm...
💯 agree. Was going to reply the same.
I would say one of the best/most memorable composers but not one of the best BASSISTS.
That means you are very young :)
He's a personal fave of mine and a massive influence on my playing but I don't think I could put him in the Top 10, maybe Top 20
Damn. I was so ready to hear "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" when you mentioned Cliff Burton
We all are still waiting
Same man
The Wait…..😂 but full length pls
My fave bassist probably Steve DiGiorgio, his work on Autopsy's Severed Survival got me into him. I was impressed, right on :)
Loved his work in Death too 👍
my personal favorite bassists may be Robert Trujilo (in the INFECTIOUS GROOVES), Fat Mike for the compositon (in NOFX, The Decline), and for sure Victor Wooten for mostly everything ! 🤘
Davie: "Enster Sandman of Puppets"
People who have seen the last video: I see what you did there
Didn't even use words to counter... and still won.
Davie has obscure bassists on his list who actually have skill and not just bassists whose bands happen to be popular. I love it.
Too funny! Love the delivery.
It’s like the people who make these lists forget that soul, funk, blues, rhythm and blues and gospel and many other genres exist
Victor Wooten isn't even on the list for crying out loud!
Jazz
@@barutaji Jazz: Mingus, Richard Davis, Ron Carter, Gary Willis, Stanley Clarke, Esperanza Spalding, Matthew Garrison, Hadrian Feraud, Anthony Jackson, John Patitucci.
Fusion.
@@reidwhitton6248 The list is dozens longer than even the ones you mentioned but you mentioned a lot of really monster ones.
"Enter Sandman of Puppets"
You almost got it right this time 👌
master of sandman
*Plays Les Claypool's version*
Master of the Entering Sandman of puppets
Only 2 and 1/2 minutes in and I had to pause 'till I quit laughing, 3hrs later. Man, you make the best vids. Iconic is such a versatile word.
Thank you very much Davie!! I enjoy sooo much your videos!!! You youtube channel is really reinvicating the bassists players around the world. Love all you content. ❤ ... my favorite bassist of all times is STEVE HARRIS, specially for his right hand fingers technic. It is really Amazing and unique. BUT, honestly, YOU are an incredible Bassist. Can play anything!!!! Thank you very very much for sharing with all of us. Blessings and Love for the Best bassist Ever: Davie!!!
GREAT list, man. Excellent. I'm 74, so I'm glad you listed John Entwhistle, who was playing bass before most of your fans were even born, Larry Graham, who virtually invented slapping, and of course, Jaco. Thanks again.
Jaco always gets overlooked
Jack Bruce and James Jamerson are two players I've always liked.
@@jamesdrake2378
I saw Jack Bruce during Cream's farewell performance. Of the entire group, Bruce's playing impressed me the most... and I was actually leaning on his Sunn amplifier, only feet away. He was brilliant.
@@tiffsaver That is amazing to have been there. , I watched the movie they made out that performance and the Spoonfull rendition was I thought fantastic. James Jamerson was not recognized as much as he could have been I think. He played with the one finger style.
@@ptmmatssc13 Which absolutely bows my mind. His music isn't something I listen to for pure entertainment, but I know when to respect absolute talent.
2:27 Davie plays with a pick... Mindblowing!
Your list is incredible and true!
Love the Victor Wooten shout out at number one on your list.
Finding this channel has been a god send. Before having kids I was an avid bass player. Hadn’t picked my Ernie Ball up in 4 years and now I’m playing again. Thanks for the motivation Davie.
You go
You can’t play for shit. You know neither dick nor ass about playing the bass
And I challenge you to a fight. 3 million dollar match winner take all
I'm going to throw Mark King as an honorable mention. He's a true slapper.
Totally! Such a slapper! 😄
totally agree
He was a right 80s slapper 🤣🤣🤣
Great singer too. He slapped his vocal chords often.
Thanks Davie, you’re the best 🤟🏻
What do you think about Stuart Hamm?
Cheers😎
I had so much fun watching this video!
Yeah, Chris Squire and Mark "the Ace of Bass" King EASILY deserve to be in the top 10.
Chris Squire is one of my favorite bassists, but he plays with a pick. Checkmate.
Paul D’Amour? Incredible bassist.
I'm glad someone here mentioned Mark King
I feel like Christopher Wolstenholme is such a underrated bassist. His skills get me chills almost every time I listen to Muse. Some of those riffs are truly impressive
Hysteria, especially!
@@HotRod12667 thats just the prime example, he has a ton of incredibly complex basslines
Underrated is the most overrated word on TH-cam. It's used by every twit who thinks he knows something nobody else knows.
This comment was just what i was looking for.
@@HotRod12667 Chris didn't write hysteria bassline. Aside from that, his playing is still very impressive. Liquid State is his own song at muse and got a fantastic bassline there
Good call on Larry Graham. May I ask your opinion of Duck Dunn, James Jamerson, Tommy Cogbill and Carol Kaye? Try Who's makin love (Jonnie Taylor), That's the Way love is (Marvin Gaye), Funky Broadway (Wilson Pickett) and These Boots are made for Walkin (Nancy Sinatra).
Louis Johnson from the Brothers Johnson is a name for me.
And the one hit wonder Tyrone Brunson - The Smurf
My favorite is Tony Levin.
He has done a lot of great bass lines with King Crimson, Peter Gabriel and many others.
And of course with a Chapman Stick also.
I love his work with Liquid Tension Experiment. More so than Dream Theater.
Tone 11
You are not wrong
Word to that
I think "the Lemon Song" is one of John Paul Jones' best bass lines. Would have been a much better choice to showcase his melodic style.
Also, Geddy Lee is a wizard and is probably in the top 3, but definitely above Cliff, as much as I like him.
yea i was kinda :/ at immigrant song being chosen
Yeah it's such a great bassline all zeppelin fans say he's underrated but he is well known in the bass community
yes, yes and yes.
yeah that and his work with them crooked vultures, simply marvellous
Geddy Lee rocks!
My favorite bassist of all time is Vern rumsey from unwound. A little underground but he has written some of my favorite bass lines ever. December is sick
as a drummer, i am beginning to now learn bass too because of Flea, you should check out one of their songs, subway to venus, absolutely love that song, i can play it on drums, but not on bass :(
Glad to see you included Jaco. Jaco was more than great. He was a virtuoso. But as others have mentioned, Chris Squire's absence is criminal. Yes was practically a bass lead band, and his bass work was some of the most complex in rock.
Major oversight in my opinion.
I agree
SQUIRE Yes., And Jaco. Weather Report was so good.
I agree Chris should've been on the list, but Steve Howe had the leading role in Yes, imo.
Man I didn’t think Victor Wooten would get love just because most people I talk to have no idea who he is haha
Until they see him playing..
@@yutubabe oh ya first time I was like 10 and it’ll never leave me
Victor deserves a lot more recognition
Interesting
Really? Lol
love it!!
The OX (played and made his own bass guitar), Tal Wilkenfeld, Mohini Dey
The one I fell in love with the Bass was Chris Squire. Close to the Edge” Getty Lee’s inspiration. Pick player so never make a list of yours. When your 12 and you hear Chris playing on three albums within 2 years is a lifetime memory you will never forget and cherish till I die.
Most of my own favourite bassists actually play with a pick! For some reason I often forget Chris did, too! 😀
Actually, Squire's bass line on - 'No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed' - is what inspired Lee to take up the bass.
R.I.P Cliff Burton. Listened to Orion 1 million times, can listen to 1 million more and never get tired of hearing your basslines
Me, having played in a school band getting in, late in a school year, learning to play keyboard; I have later found that the instruments that others do not pick as "first", still shapes the player.
I did not play base, but I highly appreciate, that it takes skill.
Also, greetings from my friend, Jens.
We are having some beer and rum. It's Friday.
"Enter Sandman of Puppets" Love that song!
Sad about JPJ, he's def one of the most underrated musicians, key to his band.
@@Aethenthebored It is not all about technical proficiency. JPJ is better technically than Paul McCartney, that's for sure. But both of them were great musicians and ensemble players.
I almost lost my mind on Cliff Burton not being among the greatest. You definitely got me, Davie504
Lost your virginity?
@@aurelianspodarec2629 mind
@@utu_be :D
I was like OK I'm interested in what he has to say here, then was like ahhh Davie! 😄
Yeah
Maybe not top-10 but an honourable mention might be in place for Nick Beggs (?). Also happy to see someone mentioned Mick Karn, my personal favourite. Great channel btw
What a coincidence that both 7 and 6 came from the same town. There must be something in the water in Castro Valley, CA.
*slaps bass*
Don’t forget Carol Kaye who is credited with many memorable bass lines. Many fine bass players to mention 🫡
Jamie Jameson.
I think Stanley Clarke deserves to be in there somewhere.
Most definitely
Umm... yeah. Saw him play upright acoustic years ago with Jean Luc Ponty and Al Dimeola. Standing ovation for every song! Stanley play the bass so hard I thought he might break it. No one with his chops!
I 100% agree with your top 10! The only bass player I can think of that didn't make either list is John patitucci! He played When You Wish Upon a Star on a stand-up and made me cry.
Excellent!
James Jamerson- he created beautiful, melodic basslines with ease, not just riffs
But he didn't do parlor tricks.
The dude would apparently only play with his index finger! Like fretting every note with just his fucking index finger!! I mean like damn dude
Awesome open string bassest. Simple melodic lines ruled. Played on most every 'motown' hit in the 60's 👍
@@xAngelsOfHellx - I was going to point that out, too! 'The Hook' was his right index finger's nickname 😀 It's actually sacrilegious he's in neither list! Such a massive contribution to Music!
Has Davie ever even played a Jamerson line?
Chris Squire, Geezer Butler, Jack Bruce. Uniquely innovative.
Chris Squire used a pick. That's illegal
back in his hay day with return to forever stanley clarke was a real force on the bass. I believe he should be on anyones top ten list. there are many more so i guess some just get left off but he is one of my favorites.
thank you for adding jaco. my dad introduced me to him and i always thought he was the best bass player in the world.
We should really thank Mr. Davide Biale’s Bass teacher.
And his teacher was Mr. Davie504.
Thank you so much for giving me a heart Sir. You made my day.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
*The ultra legend Who started it all!*
Took me too long to realise that was his actual name
"Can you perform under pressure?"
"No but I can try Bohemian Rhapsody."
I learned playing bass with The Smiths - the basslines are fun to play so it´s Andy Rourke - R.I.P ❤
🤣🤣🤣 You didn't mention Charles Berthoud. 😁 I know you guys have banter with each other. Both of you are great.

@@carlamoran3625 lmao I know 😂
There are disturbingly few mentions of Bootsy Collins, who, along with Geddy Lee, I consider to be my two biggest influences.
Honestly a little surprised he rated Geddy Lee below Flea and especially Cliff Burton. Not that butthurt but Geddy is such a legend. My top 5 would probably be: 1 Geddy Lee. 2 Jaco Pastorius. 3. Victor Wooten. 4. Les Claypool. 5. Chris Squire
Bootsy should definitely be there
Oh yea his style was something else!
@@mitchturner3147 Geddy is a phenomenal bassist, creative, brilliant, technically and tonally precise. In terms of sheer breadth of technique, Victor Wooten has him beat. I can't see Geddy Lee creating something like The Lesson or throwing down with Bela Fleck. I can definitely believe Victor would rock Geddy's lines.
Frankly to be a top 10 bassist you need to have brought something new to the part. I can see Bootsie being on the list just as i can see Jaco... but honestly what had Wooten done beyond copying what greats before him already did.
6:29 you should try to play When the levee breaks, Kasmir, Gallows pole
I'm certainly not surprised to not meet there Ray Shulman from Gentle Giant, but he was a virtuoso anyway. Quite like his bandmate keyboardist Kerry Minnear (who was definitely the greatest keyboardist in all prog rock), Ray did not usually play extra fast bass lines - he played extra intricate ones... And he also played violin...
I am very glad Davie included Victor Wooten in his list. He is not just one of the best bassist, but also a very wholesome and wise person.
I love Victor Wooten! I saw Bela Fleck & The Flecktones a bunch of times in the 90s and 00s.
Ryan Martinie of Mudvayne is a really underrated bassist. He's very skilled and most importantly he does the slapp
trueeeeee mudvayne rocks
@@datmane5921 literally scrolling down the comments for this one😅Ryan is my favorite
@@amx1820 yes
Sucked not to see him on any list. Best bassist in Numetal at the very LEAST.
Mudvayne, the best metal band, after Opeth. But on topic, Mudavayne´s rythm section is so badass, totally unique and recognizable.
Even Fodera, made a signature for him.
This is why I do not like the “best” and “top” whatever lists. Too much talent to compare. I just enjoy each for thier playing.
When badassed bass player Lemy from motorhead says John Entwhistle is untouchable thats good enough for me
