I decided to try and come up with the names of all the bass players from well known bands I could think of in 5 minutes or less. Not cheating by checking the internet or other sources. Some were band leaders and/or song writers. Some do vocals and some play other intruments on their recordings and live shows as well. I came up with a measley 12, quite embarrasing. How many can you name? No cheating now, memory only. Please don't list the names and ruin it for the rest of us. Be honest now

Fewer than five would be considered famous by most civilans, though. |

I can name many names but when the public survey comes up on the Family Feud I don't know if I get a big X or we will win the money.
