John Paul Jones? from Led Zeppelin?

kicks vic wooten's butt for real.

Mike: Then I should be your favorite bass player, 'cause I dust you!

Joeseph6: Steve Harris, and yes, one of my absolute favorites!

WB

PGh, I dunno what planet or plane of existence you live in, man...but you sure know how to crack me up!

John Paul Jones is the reason I play bass.

here's a name that wasn't mentioned Raina from coal chamber she laid out the heavy grunge line that carried lead over the ambient guitar "music" another good one from punkism, Fat mike from nofx the song the decline showcases everything that should be in punk

From that list, I picked Burton, but he is one of the many bassists that I like. I think Jean Yves Theriault(Blacky) is much better than Cliff.
