| | | | Who's the top Rockabilly players?
Ok guys, now I am really going to show my ignorance. I would like to know who the top players are for Rockabilly bass. I don't want to start a riot here! (Maybe you can reply to me privately, so we don't accidentally exlude anyone 
While I love this music, I would like to try and check out the top bass players and learn more about the style and playing needs. Who are they, who do they play with or do they have their own web sites?
thanks,
Steve
