i couldn't find a thread for this but was listening to some live our lady peace today and their bassist is really good.

i'm talking purely of bass-playing skills and not song writing or singing.

Like PJ or not, you cannot deny that Jeff Ament has some sick bass lines.

We could list all the crazies like Victor Wooten and Jaco Pastorius... but if we're talking about bass players who also made good music, I'm with Claypool, flea, Stanley Clarke.

Jerry Scheff : played with Elvis for most of the 70's, and on the doors album LA Woman.

him, JPJ, Enstwille, Bruce, and Redding were all WAY ahead of their times in the 60's
