This dude looks pretty cool

And

Apparently
Abe Laboriel
Michael Manring
Verdine White
Lee Sklar
Nathan East
Think he’s pretty cool too...

The great Max Bennett,
Cofounder of The LA Express,
appears on Joni Mitchell’s: Court & Spark, Miles of Aisles, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, & Hejira,
Played on The Crusaders live album Scratch, & Frank Zappa Hot Rats,
Many Grammies and Grammy nominations,
And a First Call session player in LA for many years,
All after years on the jazz scene playing double bass...

very cool indeed.

But

Donald Duck Dunn is the only bass player to have John Belushi kneel before him and have a cartoon character named after him

I think the way Ian Hill rocks his bass is very cool.

 

[Craig Orndorff]

His eligibility may be debatable, but Derek Smalls….what a stache.

 

[Danny O Danny]

I always thought Tiran Porter was the epitome of cool.

My vote goes to Roy Mitchell-Cardenas (formerly of Mutemath)

The Peavey T-40 adds greatly to the cool factor....

Chris Squire was one of the coolest bass players ever

 

[Vooter]

Robert DeLeo...
