Who is you favorite all time Bass player?

Started a thread for drums because i play, but bass is my bread and butter.. I own a few of them...
So who is your fav?.. For me it's two men.
The man who made me want to pick up a bass, and be fucking nasty... FLEA from the Chili peppers..
And a guy who i only wish i could be nearly as creative, and original as.. Les Claypool.
My man Bootsie is a close third.

That's what i like about these threads.. People post some good music that maybe others wouldn't have listened to before.. It lets people experience different artists.

I like Geddy Lee a lot, Flea is really good too. I dunno Justin Chancellor from Tool is pretty good imo, maybe doesnt seem to play really technical stuff per se or whatever, but he has a pretty good style of play imo

Mike Gordon brcause he can drop bombs with the tip of a hat. In second place I would have to say Clapool.
-------------------- The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.
