Check out the dudes long fingers and thumb. It's like he was built to play. Like a swimmer born with flippers. My hands look like catchers mitts in comparison.... I got no hope.

Great list. I think Eddie Jackson (Queensryche) and Bob Daisley (Ozzy) are very much under-appreciated.
Very cool
Honestly, whenever if I see a fretless jazz bass without a pickguard and epoxy coated board, I think..."oh, of course, Jaco!" ... I was not expecting this pleasant surprise. I really liked the subtle use of an octaver. Overall, he reminds me a bit of Mick Karn...that's a very good thing

Yeah, it was surprising for me too. Really funky on a type of bass you usually don't think of in that genre.
I was watching his right hand technique. I play thumb + 2 fingers like he does (learned classical guitar as a kid so I got used to thumb plus 3 fingers) but his use of the thumb and forefinger to play faster parts is interesting. Its funny how often other bass players think of something that makes you go "huh, why don't I try that?".

I may have posted this already, but Graham Maby, Joe Jackson's bass player. Love that guy's tone/style!

Oh man...I just listend and listened and listened....
Who IS this guy? Is he in a band?
Remco Hendrix is the name. I have no idea other than he kicks ass. I found him on youtube randomly one day.
I heard that Gene didn't actually play the Detroit Rock City bassline, or at least didn't write it. (Bob Ezrin played, Paul wrote.) Anyway, it sounds cool.
I know it's not the original, but it just shows how much Deep Purple depends on the bass. Until recently the bass track was on YouTube but now it's gone. Glenn used a Ricky to record Burn before the P bass, and gave it to Geezer Butler. You can see him using it here:
John Pena - Larry Carlton
Tim Landers - Al DiMeola
Neil Stubenhaus - studio ace
Tom Kennedy - great on both upright and electric
David Hungate - Toto, Boz Scaggs
Matt Bissonette - great session and live player, drummer Greg's brother.
Klaus Voorman - Carly Simon intro to You're So Vain comes to mind.
Bud Cockrell - Pablo Cruise original bassist and vocalist - Whatcha Gonna Do

Klaus Voorman is an excellent call. Check out Klaus holding down the bottom at The Concert for Bangladesh. George Harrison, Ringo, Billy Preston, Leon, Clapton, Keltner, etc. Leon played bass during Dylan's portion. Klaus was even part of the famed Plastic Ono Band.
