Favorite guitar/bass duos

Any permutation of these pairs of guitarists and bass players works for me:

Yes, no intent to diminish Harrison. Still, Lennon and McCartney were very much complimentary to each other in their playing, especially in their earlier years. Consider a tune like "All My Loving", with Lennon's triplet guitar rhythm over Paul's moving bass line groove - not a familiar sound beforehand, but hard to forget after hearing it. (Originally, groove was more rockabilly like the solo section is ... but Lennon made it mo' bettah adding his rhythmic sauce to the mix.) Tons of their songs have that kind of rhythm section chemistry. Lennon is underrated as a rhythm player, imo. A chance here to give him his due. Of course, we all know about Paul! :)
Lennon was one of the great rhythm players, and he, Paul and Ringo each had superb time and feel. Together, they were an amazing rhythm section.
