Favourite pop- ballads bass lines. Sessionists melodic playing.

I think some ballads have great bass lines, melodic arragements and tone. Some played by great bass players. My favourite ones are:
1-Tom Hamilton; Crying- I love the variations he make and the use of the B string.
2-John Deacon: Show must go on- Great feels over the keyboards.
3-Lee Sklar: Ricky Martin, fuego de noche nieve de dia- Melodic bass lines using only 1-5-8
3-Marcus Miller: Mariah Carey, Vision of Love- Great powerfull tone of marcus, I like the low C note he uses all over the song.
4-Anthony Jackson:Alejandro Sanz, No es lo mismo. He leave space on the first verse and then he start playing that low B. Awesome!
5-Paolo Costa: Alejandro Sanz, La fuerza del corazon. He reminds me a lot of Mike porcaro, he knows when to play and when to leave space.
6-Mike Porcaro: Toto, Anna. Solid as everything he plays!
