Now I'm in a 9-piece soul band, I've got to say Donald 'Duck' Dunn.

My own personal taste I'd go for Fredrico Malaman posted recently by Funkettone on BC from Euro bass festival 2011.
This guy has an incredible style, fluent and technical at same time yet very entertaining.

From my band perspective covering classic rock i would have to say Bob Daisley. Has to be one of the best rock bassists ever.

Charlie Mingus at the moment. I own a lot of records that he has released or appeared on for years, but never really sat down to study him. I am not DB player, but I love his feel and I don't think you need to be a DB player to appreciate him. Really sexy and dirty style!

Ashley Hutchings on Liege and Leaf by fairport convention is inspiring me at the moment. The drumming is pretty amazing as well. I wish I could find a band to lock in with like that!

rediscovering Dead Meadow as well and wanting to play some filthy and grooving bass like that as well! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSmsDQU3F3A&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSmsDQU3F3A&feature=related[/url]

Always the Duck. This gig is great as well although he later complained the Marshall backline couldn't handle his aggressive picking technique and he was always breaking it. Along the same lines, I got Standing in the Shadows of Motown for Christmas so I'm a major Jamerson binge at the moment.
