The older I get, the more I appreciate the bass guitar.
I wonder what it's like to play w/ the likes of Marcus. The kid on Sax looks like he just got pulled up from the minor leagues and he's like, "I'm on stage w/ who?" He done good though.

Victor Wooten is the guy every bassist wants to be.

I saw Victor at my local Calvin College. His brother Regi almost stole the show. I'm a sucker for Kashmir and Regi Wooten nailed it.

Check out Tal Wilkenfeld on YouTube. She has also played with Jeff Beck. She is also no slouch.

Jaco Pastorius, he's one of my favorite jazz bassists. Growing up in the Miami jazz scene I heard him play several times in Coconut Grove in the 70's. Excellent musician and great guy! Here's one of my favorites from Weather Report in the 70's

No argument with any bass players listed. I’ve got several favorites: the great John Entwhistle, Conrad Lozano, Flea, Phil Lesh, and Michael Rhodes. Listen to “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” on headphones, McCartney is a phenomenal bass player.

add to that the bassist (cannot remember her name) That played with Bowie in the 90's
McCartney is underrated for sure and I also have to mention Chris Squire (thinking the beginning of Heart of the Sunrise) Entwistle on The Real Me.
So many great artists.

I've always enjoyed listening to Steve Harris.

Keeping in mind how inventive a number of players, like Entwhistle were. Build his own initial guitars and he and guys like him invented new ways to play.

Add Chris Squire to that list and then Geddy Lee took their influence and brought it to Rush. The three of them brought the bass guitar to the forefront as a lead instrument rather than something buried in the background by the drummer just playing bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum bum bum bum bum-bum-bum-bum and on and on and on.

Bass guitar as a lead instrument? I think of Phil Lesh

You guys are giving me some good stuff to line up, thanks.
To show my ignorance, a few days back two-two-niner-romeo posted an interview w/ Pat Metheny. I never knew Pat and Jaco had played together. \mind blown/
Currently I'm still getting better acquainted w/ Marcus. I heard this on the radio for the first a few years back. Blew me away as it wasn't that other guy.

I met Victor Wooten at a drum clinic put on by Dennis Chambers back around 1995. Super nice guy and he absolutely blew me away. He also had the most...assertive...handshake I've ever experienced.
