On the other hand, Entwistle is probably my second favorite.
Then Macca.
Then Robert DeLeo.
Wait, that's more than one....

Ok, kidding aside, I picked up the bass because of the bass line from the song 'Rio'. I thought it would get me chicks. Boy, was I wrong. LOL
My favorite, for today, is Sting. Making melodic, memorable bass lines with the least amount of notes.
Oh, and can't forget Oscar Stagnaro - my instructor at Berklee.

Well, it's toss up between Jimmy Johnson and Anthony Jackson. But Lee Sklar, Pino Palladino, and Will Lee are all pretty close behind.
I think Jimmy Johnson wins out, though. |
