Canada has produced some great bassists. I was wondering what are your favorites. Mine are....

Geddy Lee - Amazing
Gord Sinclair of The Tragically Hip. Some tasty lines and grooves from this guy.

Alain Caron, formerly of UZEB. My favourite fusion bassist. His solo stuff is also really awesome, especially for those who are also into soundscapey/ambient stuff.

Candain?

Fergus Marsh did some really impressive work with Bruce Cockburn in the 80s on the bass and stick.

He played bass in "The Open Mike Band" on "Open Mike with Mike Bullard". Google him. He is an excellent 6-string player!

Oh, and any NYC bassists be on the lookout for a new DB'er in town named Zack Lober. The guy's a monster.
