Notable 16th note players

[Tim Skaggs]

I recently saw a video posted here on TB that featured a bassist playing 16th notes and I realized how much I enjoy listening to and attempting to work that in to my playing.

My problem is that I don't know a lot of 16th note players. I do know a few. Here are a couple of my favorites;

1. Rocco Prestia with Tower of Power.
2. Ralph Armstrong with Jean Luc Ponty;

Please add more!!

It's a matter of style rather than player. Jazz rock, funk rock, disco will be full of it.

In fact at a slow enough tempo, everyone is a 16th note player

Yeah, that dude that only played 4 strings. Haven't heard from him in a while. He played the fretless real funky.
