Bassist;

Willie Dixon
Johnny B. Gaden
as listed above....+1

also

Willie Weeks
Jerry Jemmott

two cats from Memphis essential to me are
Vic Charles (Vic was very encouraging to me)

Single Artist would have to be Howlin Wolf. Chess Box set changed my life.

I could go for Days.

Those would be my choices too, with a big +1, for Johnny B. Gayden. I'll add Jack Cruz, Sarah Brown and Noel Neal.

Also, for some blues a little outside the box look for albums by Lucky Peterson, he has used greats like Bootsy, Bill Laswell, Dennis Chambers Wilbur Bascomb, Weeks, etc. Great stuff
