I would put christian olde wolbers on mine but you can't even hear him on most of the tracks because Dino and Raymond just drown him out

John Entwistle (sic) - The Who - check out Boris the Spider

Stefan Lessard, Paul McCartney (check out his wicked baseline in Taxman), John Paul Jones, and of course the bass genius that is Derek Smalls.

Primus definately had one of the best bassists.

Hawksley Workman (played on Sarah Slean's album) and whoever played bass at Sarah's live concerts.

Billy Cox - does the cool bass grooves for Jimi Hendrix

Cliff Burton (Metallica) - Take a listen to the bassline in "Orion"

And John Paul Jones, of course.

Stuart Ham - Joe Satriani (see bass solo LIS. The best i have ever seen!)

John Myung - Dream Theater

Jaco Pastorious - god of the fretless electric. Does things that bassists still struggle with.

Victor Wooten - would probably equal Jaco if it weren't for the fact that his hands are small.

Charles Mingus - He had his own unique style of writing and playing that I liked. Plus, he did a whole song in "loving" tribute to Orvile Faubus

Geddy Lee - If I ever could say that I've seen a bass carying the music more than the guitarist, it would be Geddy from Rush. He has such ellegance and groove in his playing.
