Definitely Tal (and more female players). I'd also like to see them feature more old school (& unsung) funk and soul players. I feel they are severly under-represented! I'm pretty much tired of seeing them feature the same ol' players year after year! Do some real solid research! I'd also like to see a feature about Talkbass and it's impact on the bass playing world.

Rock bassists in the UK:

Glenn Hughes
JPJ
John Deacon
Roger Glover
Chris Squire
Pete Quaife
Willie Dixon and how his tunes were ripped off by certain humungous bands - 'you need love' etc
Guy Pratt
Derek Grant - the great Delbert T Wildebeast
Steve Harris

[skb5string]

Kim Stone
Norm Stockton
Jimmy Haslip

And others that have already been mentioned.

[The Lurker]

For my part, I think it would be great if they really tried to go for people who had not been on the cover or featured in big interviews before... I mean, Wooten, Flea, Claypool, etc all seem to show up once a year, and they've already spent much ink on Carol Kaye, Marcus Miller, Ron Carter, and all....so it would be nice to see some new blood.

Definitely. Considering the fact that the band will be active again in 08, this must happen.
