Randy Jo Hobbs tasty melodic work with both Edgar and Johnny Winter

He was in the most excellent White Trash band with Edgar and Rick Derringer. Roadwork remains one of my favorite live double albums of all time (along with Live at Leeds and Rockin the Fillmore). Bobby Ramirez also remains one of my favorite drummers of all time.

Good call!

He is a youtuber, play guitar very well.
He was joking about joining the band Dragonforce. One of the band member heard about that and joked he could as the triangle player ... so he did a video of him playing Dragonforce's iconic song with the triangle ... then the bass player decided to quite Drsgonforce and so they did ask Steve to joint as the bass player to finish their tour ...

he accepted but his anxiety got the best of him

Peter Rizzo.
One of the GROOVIEST guys to show off the TRUE Stingray tone, in the 80's...

Wanna talk about being IN THE POCKET, and being Felt, above being HEARD?

This is what BASS is about, YES?

Here's the epitome of "holding it down", and "foundation."

I'm going to be pissy and point out that your first three have all had magazine covers and are talked about all the time.

C'mon, those guys get plenty of discussion here, and are very well known in the bass world. Please, let's keep this to overlooked and under the radar players; I'm learning about new(to me)people. Otherwise, when it veers off course from the OP's original premise, it ends up like all the other threads where it's nothing but a random 'favorite bass players' list. OK, rant over.
Now, before there was reggae, there was ska(evolving out of calypso, soca, and New Orleans R&B)and in the beginning, in Jamaica, there was Byron Lee...


...not only was he a bandleader, but he introduced the electric bass to Jamaican music, and he and his calypso band were featured in the first James Bond movie, Dr. No...
