Beefheartz

Was my dad first lol.Then has to be Johann Sebastian Bach the ultimate bassist ever,great emotion,mood and the best bass root structures come from him,B flat and E flat keys sound the best to me.Then Scott Thunes and Shuggy Otis with Zappa.Tony Levin,Stanley Clarke,Marcus Miller,Victor Wooten,Bootsie,and Jaco.I dig rock too... Geddy,Jack Bruce,Billy Sheehan and Phillip Bynoe all who do vocals live too that makes a big difference to most others to me.Family man and Lloyd Parkes for reggae because he`s the lead singer too,it`s not easy singing and playing reggae.Norman Watt Roy with Dury yeah great lines fast and groovey but plays out of time twice on new boots and panties which let`s the album down for me. I know he`s a keys player but Jan Hammer would have made a top bassist in my mind as the moog lines he plays transpose really well,I started on keys and brass myself before strings.
