Best *one string* bass slides of all time?

[SoulApprentice]

That's a 4-minute masterclass on how to play bass.

Indeed. He is an alien. Technically flawless, and so tasteful!

i think this one is pretty great. Granted, I may be slightly biased

Was it Joe Osborne on bass?

All good choices…..I would add John Entwistle, Summer Time Blues, Live at Leeds.


JB

This whole line is a masterpiece, including the slide up (followed by double stop).
I'm not sure Juan Nelson (r.i.p.) is the original player, but he is surely killing it in this live version.

... and pulling some glorious noises out of that Fender Dimension.

All the slides you will ever need right here in one stonkin tune... Cordell Mosson I do believe.

Bill Wyman, 19th Nervous Breakdown...

I can't believe we've made it this far without this one, or maybe I missed it. Herbie Flowers.

Finally somebody posted it. First one I thought of.

There's a nice trio of slides on this one - right from the start…

Technically, I guess it's actually a two-string bass slide, on two basses, an upright and an electric. But I didn't think about that until after I posted

I like this unknown bassist's slide at about 2:19

Tim Bowman's music is really good. You need to be a smooth jazz fan to appreciate it. Check this one out at 3:45, Its not much but I like the way he touches the string 3 or 4 times during the slide. Its a little different. Listen to the whole song and let me know what you think.

Rick James had some good slides.
