Hi fellow Talkbass members! I'd like to hear your opinion of the best session bassist(s)!
My favourites are Chuck Rainey, Abraham Laboriel and Lee Sklar! 
How 'bout you?

Joe Osbourne
Herbie Flowers
Carol Kaye

| | | | Besides the classics listed above, I think Mike Elizondo (Dr. Dre, Eminem, etc.) and Jerry "wonda" Duplessis (Wyclef, Fugees, etc.) deserve mention. Different style, but respectable nonetheless. |

The art of placing the right note in the right place with the right tone.
I know he's done plenty but "War of the Worlds" and Sky just would not have been right without him.
Not to mention "Wild Side"

R.I.P. Carl | Doc, I could not agree with you more! Radle is a legend that belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Sideman Wing.

| | | | Plus whatever it is now for herbie flowers. I saw an interview he did and he something to the effect of 'everything you play, it's got to be beautiful'. That really stuck with me.
