Chris Squire has always been my hero. Johnny B. Gayden was also a major influence on me.

I'm a big fan of Joe Principe, overall he's not the most respected bass player in the world but I'm a fan of his playing and he's very humble.

What the heck, I'm too eclectic to have just one, but I'll toss out three - workmanlike but never boring Abe Laboriel, Nathan East and Lee Sklar. These guys epitomize one quality I admire the most in any bassist, the ability to capably span many genres and styles.

Any good thing I have ever played, has in one way or another been influenced by James Jamerson.

+1 to bobby vega, digging his stuff at the moment. But hey, there's so much talent out there, why limit it to one favourite
