Another one for Jamerson.

Andy Rourke - The Smiths wouldn't have been the same band without him.

Jaco - Love his stuff with Joni Mitchell in particular.

Billy Sheehan.

Cliff Burton.

JPJ.

I could go on but I wont.
 
The man in my avatar, although not the greatest player his songwriting more than made up for it.
 
Andy Fraser (Free)
James Jamerson (Various Motown) - never once changed his strings apparently
Geddy Lee (Rush)
John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)
John Entwistle (The Who)

preacher wire played bass iirc mate, preacher edwards was better known for his lyrics, self harm, anorexia and disappearance

Ah, see where you're coming from mate, I meant a different bass player mate, Chris "Preacher" Edwards mate. As for the manics mate, Richey was the only one I really rate mate, haven't bothered with them since Richey became late mate.
 
who was the bloke from Level 42?

That daft twat nearly got a slap off my cousin doing the old 'do you know who I am' in a bar he worked in jesmond.

Nick Olivieri was canny, not sure about best.
 
Most of the Motown Bass parts were played by this little lady

Logon or register to see this image

she also played a lot of the guitar parts too.

Sorry mate but that is a bit controversial to say the least! Kaye claims that she played on most of them but the majority of the Motown musicians laughed it off. Even the musicians she claimed would back her up said Jamerson was responsible for most of the basslines that she claims as her own.
