Even though he strayed away from rock tylermunns has some great r&b/funk bass choices with Boosty, Bernard Edwards, Larry Graham

I could ’a sworn Sly and The Family Stone were a rock band? Hence Larry Graham actually should be in this category?

I’ve always considered Funkadelic a rock band, especially the early stuff with Eddie Hazel. So Bootsy fit right in.

Flea!? Nah...I never understood how this guy gets so much acclaim at playing the bass when he sounds so much like others that came before him?

Jaco, could do whatever the heck he wanted to do...

My favorite 2 albums by Stanley Clarke were Stanley Clarke 1974 and Journey to Love 1975. On those albums Jeff Beck would just shine...

I once saw Stanley by himself with nothing but his bass, an amp, a cigar, a stool and a mike. His band got stranded at the airport because of a snow storm. It was one of best shows I’ve ever seen. The entire audience was mesmerized...

I’ll always will have a sweet spot for the Tower of Power bassist Francis Rocco Prestia.

One of my first concerts seeing YES live, Chris Squire blew my mind on that double Rickenbacker bass...

@tyray - saw Yes in '77 when Chris had a THREE neck bass. Probably take somebody as big as Chris to support that thing! 

Berry Oakley

Mark Adams of Slave 

Louis Johnson 

Really shocked the so called jazz world with his playing with Grover Washington Jr and Bob James. His plucking and thumping was very ethereal, almost liquid like.
