Rocco Prestia from Tower of Power I don't think has been mentioned.  He definitely had his own thing.

Just read all through this and was thinking "there's someone else, there's someone else..."

Yep, facemask got him, Andy Frazer - the stuff he did in Free was amazing, right up there with the guitar playing from Paul Kossoff.

My fave "name" bass players at the moment are Geddy Lee and Paul McCartney, though. I've always loved what Mr McCartney did in the middle-period Beatles albums. Mr Lee is a more recent hero of mine, and not just for his bass-playing, he's an all-round music machine...

Good grief, yes, John Deacon. Excellent bass-player.

I can't be bothered to go back and check, have we mentioned Martin Turner of Wishbone Ash? If not, er... Martin Turner of Wishbone Ash
