Even though he strayed away from rock tylermunns has some great r&b/funk bass choices with Boosty, Bernard Edwards, Larry Graham. Stanley Clarke’s bass playing skills are off the chain, especially when seen in live concert. My fav for rock is Flea from Chili Peppers. Overall other favs for music in general are Marcus Miller, Brian Bromberg, and I have to support my ex brother in law Mark Adams.

Andy Pyle of Blodwyn Pig was very good, and I haven't heard anyone mention Glenn Cornick of Jethro Tull.
