Tough call but I may have to go with Paul McCartney, the guy can do it all (sing, guitar, keys etc.) with style and MELODY!!!!!!!!!! |

IMO, he is the epitome of the perfect bassist.

Sting and McCartney both have that gift  |

| | | | I don't know his work quite as well as I should, but I probably step in Jamerson's shoes. |

Manager/Repairman: Music-Go-Round | | | | | Joe Gittleman (the Bass Fiddleman) from Mighty Mighty Bosstones
or Nathen Maxwell from Flogging Molly
....but I'd just want to be either of these guys for a night or two, so then I could go back to being a fan!

Don't know anyone else who can be a neo-soul master, carry Jaco's fretless mantle, AND play for the Who.
