Hammond-Hammond. 
John Glasscock would be my favorite Tull bassist, though. (I guess he'd be a not-other bassist probably)

I went with Nic Mozart Potter...not so much for his studio work but his live work on "Vital" and "Room Temperature Live" is amazing.

Ya the ballsy fuzz tone he gets on "Vital" is incredible.  

Funny story, when I saw the Room Temperature Live tour in San Fran there was an amusing dynamic going on between PH and Mozart.  Seemed whenever the band was a little off timing-wise PH would give Mozart these bizarre looks like "WTF are you doing?" LOL

Mike Howlett is pretty cool.
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

'Vital' is the proggiest punk music I've ever heard (or punkiest prog, if you wish).  Relentless is the word.  I thought 'Room Temperature' was brutal.  Stu Gordon's screeching violin + Mozart's monster-bass + Hammill's no-holds-barred delivery = sonic insanity, madness and mayhem...................

If John Entwistle had played in a proggier band he might be right up there with Chris Squire in the progger's top bassists rankings.

Pitty Percy Jones isn't here though. What an incredible bassist he is!

Entwistle's way better though. Squire's not even that good. He had some good lines, but Entwistles really knows to drive the music, and also as a soloist, the guy slays.
