Phil Small, I like the way he tells a complete story on the bass rather than a repetitive 12 bar 4 or 8 pluck tuck

I'm not saying she's the greatest but I think Tina Weymouth is often overlooked. So many Talking Heads songs have great yet simple basslines running through them. I mean who doesn"t love playing that Psycho Killer bass line?

Sid couldn't play a note. It was Steve Jones played on NMTB. My own fave bass player is JJ Burnell of The Stranglers.
