Me… Well, at least my wife thinks so,… and in my world, that’s all that really matters…
However, I am a huge Jameson fan simply because he was so damn cool!! (and I’m kinda old) but, I love those melodic bass lines played on old worn out strings that he never cleaned because (in his words)… “It’s da GUNK dat makes da FUNK!”
Keep on Thumpin’!

I find these lists pretty* useless.
In another poll, I think among musicians, Hadrien Ferault was voted “best bass player”. He’s not even on this list.
Neither is Jeff Berlin, or Percy Jones.
But more importantly, it’s not a contest. All of these bass players, and thousands of others, have made music worth listening to.
Art doesn’t come with quantifiable criteria.
*) in fact, make that “completely useless”.
