Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
Check out these guys work with Zappa over the years. These two guys can play rings around any of the rock guys mentioned. And they can actually sound musical, as opposed to Sheenan who is basically the Eddie Van Halen of the electric bass.

What's the better, High Powered SS Amp?

a couple of questions about maggies
In answer to your first question, the stock MG12QR cannot be bi-wired. As far as amplification goes, I used a Bryston BP-20/3B-ST combo with great sucess. I would think the McCormack would be fine. Have you listened to Magnepans before? The bass p... 
MG12/QR
I second the Bryston recommendation. I am currenty using a 3B-ST with a pair of MG12 QRs and am very happy.
