Jean Jacques Burnel.
Paul Gray (The Damned, not Slipknot).
Geezer Butler.
Stanley Clarke.
Patrick O'Hearn.
Of course, there are many, many more, but the five listed are particular stand-out's for me.

I dallied with Phil Lynott, but I'm still not sure how good a bassist he was.
But what a front man. I'm not sure I've ever seen better.

Singing like he did at the same time: that's CLASS. Jim Dewar from Trower's band was in the same league too.

Apologies. I'm not saying Phil was a bad bass player at all, just not in the greatest category. Certainly class. I think his true genius was in song writing and I'm sure I read somewhere that bass wasn't his first choice of instrument.
