Undeniably, the single greatest Bass Tone I have ever heard: Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane & Hot Tuna
I think he played a Gibson EB-2 hollowbody, but I would like to be corrected by someone who knows the true facts!
I have gotten my 14 year old son an epiphone Jack Casady, and the sound is truly amazing
my others are--
ROCK:
John Entwhistle--Listen to "The Real Me" Greatest Sound, Greatest bass playing
Chris Squire-- Listen to "Roundabout" or "Heart of the Sunrise"
Greg Lake--listen to "Knife Edge" by Emerson, Lake & Palmer!
Jazz:
Stanley Clark
Jaco Pastorius
whoever played bass for Chicago on their "Chicago Transit Authority" album
honorable mention--(remember, this is for sound, not for playing ability) Jack Bruce, Victor Wooten, Victor Bailey, Charlie Mingus, & Leo Lyons of Ten Years After
and then of course, as previously said-- Duck Dunn, Duck Dunn, Duck Dunn
