    Well that was my list. What is yours?

    And yes I know Bootsy isn't in my list, I tend to favor rock bassists.

    1. Carol Kaye -- Best session bassist of the Rock Era.
    2. Jack Bruce -- Cream
    3. Paul McCartney -- Most influential bass style
    4. Stanley Clarke -- Best Jazz bass
    5. John McVie -- Better than Entwhistle by a hair. Make it an RCH.

    l love McCartney and indeed he was stylish with his bass playing and very influential coming out of the 60s.

    Bruce was one I almost put in my list.
