Favourite bass player

I think Paul Webb from Talk Talk is an incredible bass player,perfect timing shown in every performance. Their live in Montreaux gig is a masterclass.

Bloody hell, I must be getting old? PH's and no mention of...?
Lots of faves, many mentioned already, seen so many over last 50 odd years - far, far too many to roll off, but abiding memories?
60s was where it all started for me – won’t name the obvious with one exception, the one nobody has mentioned! Unless I missed him, don't think so.
However, I’d start with the multi talented Gordon Haskell - was a bass player when I first saw him (still writes, sings, records, plays today but tad different music) he was in the superb British band Fleur de lys, backing the brilliant Sharon Tandy – aside from the bass, what superb guitar intro. Still is!

Tim Bogert bassist with Vanilla Fudge. God of Thunder. Now 75 yrs old. Jeezus!! Unbelievable player.
What a f. great time to be alive the 60s. He’s the one in the curtain drapes
. 'You Keep Me Hangin’ On' – the Supremes hit. Just as big a hit for them too. Lots of vids out there of them doing it, even more recent. This rare (poor) footage from 60’s US tv show is a giggle. He he he.

Andy Fraser (hoola hooping –he always looked like he was, with his one-off hip ‘swaying’ - first saw FREE at Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. Still the best event I've ever been to.

Both Howie Epstein (RIP) and Ron Blair of TP&TH.
Love Ron and the band in this.

But forget all of them, this is Pistonheads yet no mention of someone still playing today in the same band (different line up of course) I saw him first in 1967. And responsible for a, if not the, memorable bass line in… well, you know damn well who I’m talking about. John McVie. I have heard it that some think he's overrated, how odd? Regardless, he’s stayed the distance and still playing - on tour in Australia at the moment with the band.
Back then I thought he was as cool as f
k or should that be spaced out!
