Jaco Pastorius | Rock, blues, big band, punk, jazz, punk jazz... he is versatile alright, and gets my vote too. But a lot of the modern players like John Pattitucci, Victor Wooten etc. all cross boundaries into classical music and other genres. Some like Michael Manring don't fit into a genre. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Boston, Taxachusetts | | | I thought the question was "most diverse"? How the heck can you say Dorian 27? The guy plays in one band in one style!
I'd go with Tony Levin and Chuck Rainey amongst the previously mentioned. Levin has done everything from folkie singer/songwriters to prog rock and fusion, while Rainey has done jazz, soul, rock and roll, etc. But what would you expect, these guys were studio cats for years and had to be able to adapt.
I'd also toss in string bassist Richard Davis, who has played classical, jazz and rock over the years.
Honorable mention to Jack Bruce who has managed to work in blues, rock, jazz and Latin contexts. |

We know Jaco and Prince was/is great composers, writers, arrangers, producers, and played about 8 intruments each...........VERY WELL! Marcus produces, writes, arranges, and plays a pretty mean clarinet too. Who else goes into this catagory? I'm not talking about bassists that also play guitar, I'm talking about bassists who are the TOTAL package. I'd have to give Lenny Kravitz a shout, too. Also, an excuse to post a picture of one of my bass heroes!

King and Lennon deserve special mention; they're the only bassists I know besides Prince and Kravitz that play drums (decently). |

| | | ...actually, there's quite a few bassists out there that started as drummers-
Others that play drums & bass(at least as well as Prince & Kravitz) - 
Jaco
Oteil Burbridge
Charlie Drayton
Paul McCartney(ya don't think that was Ringo on the late Beatles' stuff...or do you?).
Most(if not all)of the Latin-influenced bassists are "percussion"-first kinda guys, too.
