For example, Micheal Anthony in Van Halen. You just KNOW that guy is way more capable than what he's allowed to do...
Sure, there's better bass players, but that wasn't the question,, now was it? |

Nothing flashy, not one note too much or too little for the songs. Great tone. His replacement Mike Inez, seemed to me more technically proficient (not familiar with his other work) but somehow didn't fit as well.
Someone mentioned Queen's John Deacon. I'm not much of a Queen fan, from the little I'd heard he seemed to just hang out there in the background, letting the other guys do their things while he held it together... then I heard "Dragon Attack" from the album The Game, now one of my favorite bass tunes. Wicked cool when he cuts loose. |

Not to say the rest of the band isn't awesome -- there isn't a single weak link in the whole group, they're all amazing -- but his basslines are so solid and fat and groovesome. Awesome.
