Re: top 5 greatest bassists of all time

1. Ron Carter (unbelievable technique on the acoustic, and very innovative ways to present his instrument: like piccolo bass fronting a cello quartet, etc.!)

2. John Entwistle (like nobody else, every time I see footage of his fingers in action I am floored)

3. Larry Graham (invented funk style, and even better than Bootsy)

4. Paul McCartney (maestro of the four string pop hook; listen to "Paperback Writer" etc. again if you've forgotten)

5. It gets tougher after that! Maybe for personal reasons I will say CLINT CONLEY (when I first started to play bass, I wanted to play like him - and Lou Barlow and Kim Gordon).
