Best/Favorite Bassists on TB?

Greg Reeves, mentioned him before hear in my post the other Greg Reeves. He hangs here--is it ok to "out" somebody from their anonymous username?)
dubby funky groover with James Hardway Quartet(Keith LeBlanc on drums), Cordovan, Nyee Moses(with Reggie Hamilton too), Jesse DeNatale, Dub Tribute to Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley Roots Rock remixed and others I found after a review in Bass Guitar magazine. too below the radar imho....
 
Thank you so much, Mike and Chris. What a surprise! :) But of course I'm so far from being in the same league as terrific players like Mr. Mike Flynn, Jauqo III-X, Stewart McKinsey (haven't heard from him in a long time), Joe Quader (Bassist4life, the originator of the "Slap Bass Welcome Center" thread), Jean Baudin, Bassmonkee, James Hart, Erlend Caspersen and Jenich CZ. Needless to say, there are lots of other fellow TBers that I haven't got to hear (or don't recall right now - my apologies to them) from whom I have LOTS of things to learn.
 
Wow!!
I really don't derserve to be mentioned with the likes of some mentioned here.
I'm humbled to even be mentioned!!!

Adrian Garcia
Mike Flynn
Hadrien Feraud (if we are going to mention guys like this)
Tal Wikenfeld

Shelly

Hey man!!!
Long time no talk to!!! (I know I could have sent an e-mail too!)

Hope you're doing well.

So, who do you like here on TB??? Remember, bad ass/famous guys like you don't count!;)
 
although I think he left TB, I really like Link Removed' work

and I can't think of his name (boba?) but his band name is called Link Removed

Another favorite of mine is "narud" and his band's name is called "worth the weight" but i don't have a link :(

charlie! man, old thread, but now with link in sig.:hiding:

having hadrien and janek up here make you realize you gotta keep practicing to stay on your game. marcus willett is on a cd a dig quite a bit. cant go wrong with willbyman. he had a track he put up ages ago called lojack iirc. real good! ive also dug jzucker's playing too. (his guitar playing that is :eek:)
 
Out of all the bassists I've heard on here, I still gotta go with:

Vic: Its not his chops that impress me(but trust me he has them) but his ability to listen and let the song evolve and groove. I love listening to him play.
 
Dave Siff is a groover supreme.
Whoa. Thanks, man! Coming from you, that is high praise indeed.
I'm gonna namecheck a few of my Atlanta cohorts here, because everyone knows the famous people on TB.
Woodchuck, right back atcha! Your resume speaks for itself.
Bassmonkeee: Those who have been to the Atlanta GTGs know the deal, but Jason kills on fretted and fretless. Having hung around him quite a bit, I get the feeling he can play pretty much anything.
John Turner: great chops, and the vision to see something truly different and go for it.
J-raj: Funky as hell. A real modern sound with old-school feel, and versatility.. a great combination.
I know I'm leaving a bunch of people out. This town is filled with great players. Speaking of which, we need to have another Atlanta GTG soon..
