I like Paul Chambers for his groove and arco. Sam Jones for his Time. Rufus Reid becaues he taught me. Jaco because of the absolute passion. Christian McBride because he's the MAN righ now--and he's the director of the Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific, which is my Alma Mater; Ron Carter because of everything he's recorded; George Maraz because of his soul; Richard Davis because of his intensiity; Reggie Workman due to his authenticity; Lonnie Plaxico because of his work with he Jazz Messengers; Scott LaFaro--BECAUSE HE'S THE BEST! (Eddie Gomez and Chuck Isreal are cool, too!). Who're you 'un?

Eberhard Weber, because of of my neighborhood buddys who later went on to become an accomplished bass player & college music professor turned me onto him in 1973 while we ourselves were turned on to something which meant something but I'm not sure now but at the time was very meaningful

Phil Lesh, because he single handedly reinvented the way electric bass guitar playing was defined in the early sixties.
