Mine would have to be cliff Burton, hes the reason i started playing the bass. when i heard orion i fel in love with that song. And Hes just a badass bassist. so sad he died at a young age.
For me it's Tony Lewis of The Outfield. He keeps his bass lines simple but powerful. And he is very modest and enthusiastic when he plays! He is my reason for being a bass player!
Dee Dee Ramone of the Ramones his bass lines are simple (pretty much the low end of what ever Johnny played) and that helped me realise learning wasn't as hard as i was making it, either him or Mike Watt from the Minutemen one hell of an inventive bass player
