Who is your favorite bassist of all-time?

[RAZRr1275]

There is a thread for Guitarists, drummers, and singers so it's time that we get some bass love. My favs are

1. Flea - RHCP - Slapping and Popping is awesome
2. Larry Graham - Sly and the Family Stone - Made up the reason why I like Flea.
3. Victor Wooten - Solo - Awesome technique and very versitle
4. Cliff Burton - Metalica - Very skilled
5. Bootsy Collins - Parliament - Very crazy person and very crazy bass skills. Space Bass is awesome.
6. Chris Wolstenholme - Muse - Awesome riffs and very fast
7. Tim Commerford - Audioslave - Acts as a rhythm guitarist for Audioslave. Very nice compliment to Morello

Not bad for a guy born to a heroin-addicted teenage mother who was given up for adoption at age 6.

John Entwistle - The Who

R.I.P.

He played some seriously sick licks from time to time. Plus loved how during the My Generation Solo he always looked away and uninterested in what was going on.

I haven't seen any bad ones listed so far.
