Man… just ONE?!? So difficult! I’ll compromise and instead of listing ten I’ll list two:
Tim Commerford - Such groove! Such tone! I can’t even listen to RATM without getting bass face.
Phil Lesh - I’ve listened to the Dead for a while, but honestly didn’t focus all that much attention on the bass. Excited to revisit that, while also learning a little something about playing bass in an improvisational jam band context.

I didn’t realize how big of an influence Commerford has been to my wanting to play bass.
I’ve been revisiting some of the songs/albums that I connected with during my more formative years and RATM is definitely a big part of that journey.
Anyone listen to Khruangbin? I’ve seen them every time they’ve come to Toronto.
Laura Lee is a fantastic player IMO!
