today's mob is

1. Paul Chambers he's sort of my favorite but I don't really know how to explain why. I especially like his blues playing , paradoxically it makes me happy to hear it.

2. Jerry Jemmott electric blues grooves with B.B.King remain a masterclass. the drummer on those records was a MF'er too which always helps.

3. James Jamerson there is always something each time you listen you know. he's like the library, a knowledge resource.

4. Charles Mingus I not know that much of his stuff but I get 'Roots and Blues' and I'm more flabbergasted than the jive ass slippers of that fishmongers mother in law

5. Prince he write some great songs that need great bass. so I give thanks.

Jimmy Lea - Probably the most disgracefully under-rated bassist ever.
Lemmy - Totally unique, though he says he's not a bassist - pedant!!!!
Duck Dunn - Solid solid - just does what it says on the "bassist" tin.
Mark King - not the first to do that, but certainly the best.
John Entwistle - the loudest typewriter in the world.

1.Billy Sheehan, more for digging in hard and the energy he puts into his lines than for the flash stuff.
2.Andy Fraser, surely the best British player of all
3.Geddy Lee, another digger inner.
4.Jack Bruce, lots of notes!
5.Steve Harris, for starting it all off for me. Whatever you think of him, huge respect is surely deserved.
