  1. Chris Squire
  2. Jack Bruce
  3. Tina Weymouth
  4. Kim Deal

128x128jerryg123

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

John Entwistle

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.

@cd318 - ever seen or heard Peter Hook's Light, with both Hooky and his son on bass, playing mostly JD but some NO stuff as well?
