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...

Is just a piece of paper
To say a few lines
Make up my mind
So she can read it later

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

'Bout damn time someone brought him up!!!  You don't even have to like metal to see not only the skills, but also the musical genius of Steve.
