Great Rock Bassists your Top 10.Rock not Jazz. But Hey what about Reggae
My top 10.
In no particular order
Willy Sheehan
Nathan East
Allen Woody
Willy Weeks
Otiel Burbridge
Flea
JPJ
John Entwistle
Les Claypool
Geezer Butler
Jack Bruce
Dusty Hill
Ron Carter, not a rock and roller but a wonderful player
Mick Karn
Patrick O'Hearn
The obvious ones for me, or the ones that I actually noticed are:
1 Bruce Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions) especially on Get Happy!!
2 Paul McCartney, particularly on Revolver (Good Day Sunshine, Dr Robert etc).
and of course
3 Peter Hook without whom Joy Division would not be Joy Division.
Off the top of my head:
john Wetton
Greg lake
Chris Squire
Geddy Lee
Sting
Tina Weymouth
Noel Redding
Mike Rutherford
Tony Levine or Flea. But I’m partial to KC bass players.
I scanned the thread and agree with all of candidates. I’d like to add Glenn Hughes to the list.
