Yes indeed, that guy ranks right up there.  And perhaps we should include his indirect descendent, Bootsy Collins.

Toss in Fabio Zuffanti of Finisterre, Maschera di Cera , Aries and Zaal fame , as well as the imaginative Rickenbakers of Giglielmo Morietti of Tapobran and Holland's Gijs Koopman of Knight Area, Novox, Cliffhanger fame. Other fretless geniuses include Nick Beggs, Hansford Rowe, Tim Landers, Guy Pratt and John Giblin. All stupendous !
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Well, since the band (and their entire discography) is shamelessly here on PA...maybe he doesn't qualify...

But I can't resist:

Don't care for sheehan,it looks impressive but doesn't havent any impact or taste IMO as for the Stupid amounts of trebel,pinch harmonics and shredding dont get me started lol
 
Larry Graham,Paul Chambers,Ron Carter,Dave Holland,Mark King (i guess),John Paul Jones,Victor Wooten,Steve Bailey,Ryan Martinie.Geezer Butler,Steve Harris,Charles Mingus,Pino Palladino,Donald Dunn,Willie Dixon & Juan Alderete deserves an hournable mention,his work with TMV is so solid.

Two bassists that I like quite a bit who get mentioned from time to time on PA, but I don't think that often are Les Claypool from Primus and Billy Sheehan from Niacin. 


I've had the pleasure of seeing Billy Sheehan live in Steve Vai's 'Breed' band.
One of the most spectacular bass players around.

Les Claypool, I love his stuff, a genius IMO. Fantastic technique and he brought new sounds to the bass guitar.
 
Two very good bassists indeed. IMO they are not as recognized as Geddy,
Levin,Whetton,Squire,...,just because they hadnīt played in any of the great
prog classic bands.
 
From this couple,though enjoying the modern sound and techniques that
Claypool has brought to the scene,I prefer Sheehan.I saw him last september
in a clinic he did in my town (very rare, only clinic in Spain and in a small and no 
well known village) and he was very nice and totally jaw-dropping when playing
some tunes.I think he has the skills (maybe more) to belong to the same level
that the bass totems I mentioned above.Hug

I forgot to add, hum, letīs see...
Miller and Lepond from Symphony X.
A couple of excellent bassists usually
forgotten (much praise for Romeo&Pinella
but even they need a good rythmic foundation).Wink
