Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?

I like Paul Chambers for his groove and arco. Sam Jones for his Time. Rufus Reid becaues he taught me. Jaco because of the absolute passion. Christian McBride because he's the MAN righ now--and he's the director of the Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific, which is my Alma Mater; Ron Carter because of everything he's recorded; George Maraz because of his soul; Richard Davis because of his intensiity; Reggie Workman due to his authenticity; Lonnie Plaxico because of his work with he Jazz Messengers; Scott LaFaro--BECAUSE HE'S THE BEST! (Eddie Gomez and Chuck Isreal are cool, too!). Who're you 'un?

Stanley Clarke- tone, skills, works (his early and RTF not his later)
Brian Bromberg- tone,skils, a little less impressed w/ works, just less my style.
Bill Laswell- tone(s), works, variety - he must have put out and been on 50 titles since 2000
Percy Jones- tone, skills ,works- but not "his" works - prefer Brand X and Nova Vimana, which is now on CD
Renaud Garcia Fons- tone , skills - only heard him on a few albums but he is unbelievable! Best bowed solo I ever heard on Nguyen Le's "Bakida" album....forget which track....
