Agreed. This is one of my favorite tunes period.

"Claire's Song" by the Yellowjackets. Jimmy Haslip is the man and always will be.

Also, "Top of the World" by the Dixie Chicks. It's a very simple simple bass line but is one of the reasons I decided to buy a fretless. It has such a beautiful tone, in my opinion.

Also, "The Boy in the Bubble" on Graceland. Pretty fantastic stuff.
