God of Thunder

I ain't lickin nothin' pal.

Geddy is a damn good bass player.

I'll second the vote for Nathan East.

I also nominate Paul McCartney. He took a different approach to bass playing by trying to make it more melodic rather that just a walking bass line. The bass line of "Paperback Writer" carries the song. Same as "Silly Love Songs" from his solo days.

I'll also mention Jim Creegan from Barenaked Ladies. He uses a standup a majority of the time.

Nods also go out to Bootsy Collins, Flea, Sting, Stanley Clarke and of course Gene Simmons (mostly because everyone expects that from me.)


edit: (slaps head) D'oh, I forgot to mention "The Ox" John Entwhistle. That boy played like a muthaf***er!!
