+1 for John Entwistle. Incidentally, he may have been regarded as the most accomplished musician in the band, but when asked to describe John's playing, Roger Daltry replied LOUD".

 

I did a quick search, and found no mention of Norman Watt-Roy of The Blockheads. Seen close up, his playing on Rhythm Stick is mesmerising.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB00GTgyxMk&feature=related

 

I always had a soft spot for Mark King of Level 42 too. Saw them recently and he’s quicker than ever. Other electric bass players who deserve a mention are Aston “Familyman” Barret, of The Wailers and my bass playing hero and all round diamond geezer, Jah Wobble Dig the groove man.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIztO3YrB_k

 

As for upright virtuosos, +1 for Christian McBride. (check out Fingerpainting: The Music of Herbie Hancock recorded with Mark Whitfield, Nicholas Payton). Also, I feel I ought to mention Danny Thomson, long time sidekick of the late John Martyn, who also played in the folk fusion band Pentangle, many years ago. A guy I saw play a solo on Jools Holland one time is Jake Erwin of Hot Club of Cowtown. Cracking upright slap bass.

No list of greatest bassist is complete without Garry Karr. Simply a master.

I think that Pino Palladino is a really good bass player.

I've mostly had exposure to Gomez through Chick Corea's recordings but the video above is another testament to his glorious playing.

EG also authored a pretty good book for bass players, I used to have it on my music stand...
