If for no other reason than his great work with the New Barbarians, but his jazz work is incredible too, especially his stuff with Return To Forever.
As far as rock players go? Gotta go with Bill "the little hands that could" Wyman, and The Ox. The bass line on The Real Me and My Generation should be required studying for anyone that even considers picking up a bass.
Riffy I agree 120% he is one of the best, I recently posted a message about the "Return of Return to Forever" this year, if you can attend a live show I saw Return to Forever back in the mid 80's. I was blown away at the stunning bass lines that he was throwing down. Add Chic Corea, Al Dimeolo, and Lenny White in the mix and it was an incredible night. I have never been a huge jazz fan. I like the greats like Miles and Coltrane an awful lot to be sure, but a lot of jazz leaves me cold. Not so with Return to Forever. Just phenomenal! Riffy Agreed. I saw Return to forever in the mid '70's.
